I need a little more rotation in my buggy. On sharp turns or in s turns, I have to scrub off way too much speed. shaved u brace with 2 washers inside. A Hub 2 in, inside bottom and middle top on rear shocks. #1 front and #2 rear pistons with 2 .03 limiters each. Brown/green springs. outside bottom shock and middle top. Arm are barely above level with not load in the front. Bones level in the rear. .75 oz in each rear triangle, 1/2 next to receiver, avid rack, 1oz at rear tower.

I have no idea how much this info helps. I dont need a ton of rotation, just a little so I can maintain speed. oh, tires holeshots and proline ribs (kit tires). Track is moist clay during night time racing. Medium bite would be my guess.

I always thought the b hub was pushy..try the a hub. Tapping the brakes to swing it around also helps..less camber will help as well

I am sorry, I am using the A hub. Do the Holeshots have more side bite than the Double Dee greens? I wonder if its just too much side bite on that track. I was playing with the brakes, but I was scrubbing a lot of speed doing that.

no they dd's have much more side bite. try 2.5 of toe. First I would try maybe -.5 or 0 degrees of rear camber. Adding some front toe out also would help and putting the shock on the inside front hole on the arm added more low speed steering but add 2 limiters or it will have a lot of droop

Thank you, I will try the front shock changes. I think i liked it better on the inside bottom.

That is a good adjustment by moving the skock in on the arm, u can also remove a washer on the front ballstuds at the front tower for a lil more steering

Holeshots have WAY more traction than double D's. They plow.

Increasing anti-squat will allow the car to rotate a bit more while on throttle.
