Hi folks,

Recently began running my TA05-IFS car that I recently purchased from a fellow racer. Having set it back to stock I have a strange handling problem; the car tends to under-steer or handle relatively neutrally coming out of right-handers, yet coming out of left-handers as soon as I get on the power the back steps way out and it spins. This is so bad that if from a standing start I go hard right the car turns gradually, yet hard left the car will spin on a sixpence.

I have balanced the car as best as I can in terms of weight (similar setup to my TA05R), replaced the diffs front and rear, and also swapped the CVD assemblies round on the rear in case there was some binding somewhere making the diff give all of the power to the right wheel. None of this seems to have made a difference.

The only thing that I have found that has seemed to make a difference is to adjust my shock collars. On the rear I had my right shock collar all the way up to the top of the shock, and on the left it is down a little. Levelling these out seems to have neutralised the handling a little (it seems someway between spinning out and being controlled now, but at least equal through both types of corner), although I'm not sure why. I always assumed that the collars had no effect other than to adjust the ride height. I now have the problem that the car is sitting slightly higher on the one side.

Also, to improve traction to the rear should I lay the rear shocks down or stand them up more? I'm currently running soft springs on the front (yellow) and super-soft on the rear (red).

Any advice on how to get this thing around the track properly would be much appreciated as I have a big race day tomorrow.

Cheers!
