Do you ever run the 2.25 on Paragon tracks? My club still uses paragon and when I tried the 2.25 my car just pushed like a bus... I went back to the 1.5.
I am guessing since you are making the rounds to all the big races using sticky fingers and jack, instances where the cars always seem to be more edgy, 2.25 is nice and easy to drive. I will for sure give it another try the next time I head to Timezone.
Later!

At Cleveland my car was really good, it always takes a little while to figure out a new car but i can definately say that the T311 was better than i ever had my T3 at the last race. so really it depends on weather you want a new car or not.

LOL, I tried calling you. Well, did you send a PM on racing in the area?
Thanks

Hey paul, seen your cleveland setup on the xray site. Did you have any traction rolling issues? Also, when traction rolling, how do you approach the rear? More or less grip? Any other pointers you can share? Having traction roll problems with my t3 11. It's basically stock setup. Thanks for the help.

Thank you for the reply Paul. I will definitely use those techniques tomorrow.
Another question - when you build a new car, how do you get the same amount of play in the arms while keeping them free? Do you tighten the lower suspension holders then tighten down the roll center holders or the other way around?

Hi Paul,
I am trying the hillbilly link tomorrow on the T311, have you tried them on the rear of the car at all and what would the result be ?

Paul-
What;s the theory behind setting the front hinge pin holders with 2.25mm shimming? This effectively makes the front track width wider than the rear yes? What's the benefit? I see more and more people running it this way.
Also, what are your thoughts on diff height with rubber tires?
Coming back out to timezone anytime before the carpet nats?

Moving the arm out at the inner pin mainly changes both the wheelbase AND shock angle. This is important because wider hexes only change wheelbase hub centerline/tire centerline relationship. By moving the pin you're basically laying the shock down lower which is probably why you felt a push after doing so. If you brought the lower shock mount closer to the pin you would be changing the length of your lever/fulcrum which changes the effective spring rate as well as dampening. So the best thing to move is the upper shock mount maybe 1 hole out. That should bring the feel back. Of course you have also changed the fr/rr load rate by making the wheelbase wider so it's not gonna be exactly the same....
I know this has been asked before but;
How does raising the the camber link an even amount at both ends (so the angle doesn't change) effect the handling. i.e. when using the H1 H2 QRC's it mentioned that another 1mm must be added to the outside to keep the link the same.
Thanks

Thankfully, Paul can give you answers that help you on the track. I can only give you answers that help you draw pretty pictures of your suspension geometry....lol

what the hell is a hillbilly link?? sorry, new to xray
Hey Paul, quick one for ya, I had my T3'11 whippin today but it was punishing its tyres (or tires as you upside down fellas call them), especially the rears. I'm running kit setup with the H roll centres on the front, shocks laid down 1 hole front and rear, and 500 MM oil. I was gonna go to 600 oil, is there anything else I can try? thanx in advance, party on
