It usually flips over when im driving it on the grass, but also does it very frequently on the blacktop, either that or its 3 wheelin around corners lol. I have everything stock with the suspension and am running some proline calibur tires with red foams I think.
Has anyone else had this problem with their buggies and knows a quick fix?
Thanks!
lower the ride height would be my first suggestion - try 27mm at the rear, 26mm at the front. Drop the car from 300mm, press the suspension down at the front and rear at the same time, let go and let the shocks lift the car up then take the measurements from the deck to the underside of the chassis.
If the car is 3 wheeling around corners based on the front end giving way first then i would assume that the rear end is too high and the front end is slightly too soft. Try 1.4 pistons with 400 in the front and either 450 in the rear, always run the front 50-100 wt softer + run the stock shock positions.
you never really need to run the rear shocks on the inside hole as there is more then enough droop on the outside hole.
If the rear end is giving way first then i would assume that the rear is too soft and the front is too high.
try the aforementioned and it will solve the problem.
1.3's will give slightly more grip on dirt and obviously more pack.
In the UK we race quite a lot on grass which turns to dirt if dry enough.
Also try 3,3,2 in the diffs if the track is slippy, 5,5,2 if grips is not too bad and 7,7,2 if really grippy.
Also run the stock camber positions
Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
