Hey guys,
Just after some help with my T3. The car is very fast but lacks rear traction when exiting a corner or entering a corner. Im racing on an asphalt tight track with low traction. Coming out of a corner the rear of the car just wants to let go. Im running Kit setup with 30wt shock oil all around (%100 Rebound) i have moved the front and rear shocks in 1 hole from kit set up. I have gone to 1mm shims all around on the hubs. Front sway bar is now a 1.3 Everything else is as per kit set up. As i said the car is fast and i dont wanna compromise its performance by changing alot just to gain rear end traction. is there anything i can do to get somemore rear end traction?
Thanks heaps Guys

No im gonna stick out the remainder of the year with the T3 and see if i can get it to go better. it is fast, its just the rear end which is annoying. if i cant sort it out im gonna go with a different car next season

When I changed to the Exotec chassis, the car was loose on power exiting turns with my usual 2.4 rear springs so I then went to 2.6 on the rear and problem solved. So I would suggest in some instances, firm up the rear if you are having trouble putting power down IF you already have softish springs on. If you need more grip in the middle of the corner then its a good idea to lay the shocks down. My 2c

Try the 1 hole rear uprights if you're not running them
already. They make the rear end alot more stable at both highspeed and lowspeed corners. I won't be switching back to the standard rear upright anytime soon.

Also try standing the rear shock up one hole upto no.4. If you're struggling putting power down this helps alot. Make sure you have a perfect rear diff aswell as this may be your problem if you're struggling on and off power with rear traction.

The H parts are more durable and flex less which makes them more consistent IMO. It's all personal preference and someone else might like the feel of the M parts and their flex characteristics. A lot of guys in my area ditched the M parts quickly for the H.
