Rear hex width?
 
Appart from added stabilty on the rear, how do the wider rear hexes affect rear grip?

Got +1.5mm on mine dude, dials out some oversteer on entering fast corners and is a fair bit more stable in a straight line

Will see next week if it fits in the BRCA box ok, should be fine!

Tried +0.75mm for the first time today and it improved forward drive = possibly at the expense of a bit of side bite although to be fair, it didn't suffer from any adverse affects.

My initial feeling was that it was easier to drive out of slow corners and whilst the change was noticeable, I soon got used to the 'new' level of drive.

Not a chalk and cheese difference but noticeable.

Side bite is what Im after rather than forward traction but ill give em go anyways me thinks.:thumbsup:

I noticed an increase in forwards drive using the +1.5mm ones in particular out of hair pin bends and in greasey conditions. Also added a little stability on really bumpy tracks. Can't say I noticed any real change in side bite on slow corners, but on faster corners it did hook a couple of times. Need to try them without the rear weight which hopefully will solve that.


A worth while option in my view.
