The 1mm split seems to work well with me. I start off with 2mm and it seems to improve after 8 laps or so, i thought it was just me waking up halfway through the race!

Hello,
You mean that when you start with 2mm, you end with almost 1mm. Because this is what happens with mine. Therefore, I am thinking to use softer front tires. What do you think?

Guys, there's a good article written by Julius Kolff about the usage of different tyre spilts on the mytsn website.

It's regarding the 710, but you'll also find the info useful.

The 21T side pulley that Julius is refering to requires a 3mm front to rear split to get minimal overdrive at the front. Like Jas was saying for the RRR, I also find that a 2mm split (i.e. more front overdrive, approx 3%) with the 710 is better to drive.

Here's the article http://www.mytsn.com/publ/publ.asp?pid=10984

Cheers, Mark.

excessive rear camber and still get positive camber wear on tyres ??

hey guys

im having a slight problem with my rear camber settings.
im using about -4 degrees on the rear camber and my tyres are still wearing on the outer edges.

im using the stock car setup except for a few changes:
front silver springs
rear black springs
rear silver sway bar
37 shore tyres all round.

what could be somthing that im not doing wrong ? or something to look for

thanks heaps
John

i'm also finding the car is at its fastest when the tyres have worn too a 1mm split (using 23t pulley) instead of the recommended 2mm, anyone else found this

Yes, I noticed the smaller split too. A solid axle is better on a flowing track; the car is more stable. The oneway is better when you need the car to rotate quicker around tight corners.

I m using a one way set up for the big track and tried different tyre combination however this doesn't solve the loose rear end problem completly. At the moment I m using 40 F and 37 R which I think only reduces a bit of my problem. Can someone help me with this? Any suggention on set up? Will using front spool solve this?

TRY:
-raising the front shocks all the way
-stiffening the front swaybar
-thinner diff oil
-less front droop

I would first make sure the rear end is okay(nothing broken or out of spec), measure the camber again to see if it changed, then drive and add camber till I get the proper tire wear.
