I race a KMC converted ZX-5 on a polished wooden floor, still using NiMh at the moment but running a Novak GTB with a 13.5 motor as we race stock.
As of late the handling on my car has gone to pot. Whatever I do I cannot stop the arse end from breaking away constantly. I've tried changing camber links in and out, moved the shocks, rebuilt the shocks, introduced a little kick-up, etc etc, but whatever I do seems to have little or no effect.
Is anyone racing a KMC chassis on a similar surface? If so - do you have a setup to give me a starting point to return to?
It's getting so frustrating I'm considering selling the damn thing!
Current setup:
Shocks 35wt front, 30wt rear.
Pale yellow springs all round.
Front camber link middle hole, washer under knuckle arm. Washer under inner ballstud.
Shocks outer hole on wishbone, middle hole on tower.
Rear camber link middle hole, inner on the hub (alloy). Washers under both ends and hub on middle wishbone pin. Long wheelbase.
2 deg camber on rear, 1.5 deg on front.
10deg castor blocks on front.
I have loads of steering, but the back end is just floating.
Any ideas chaps?
