Setting up
I've been testing the CAT 98 over the weekend, and have a problem solving a handling issue.
While coming out of a tight grass corner, accelerating hard, the car hooks badly, lifting the front inside wheel, the back collapses. There is no problem on concrete, where the car does not dig in. I went up a spring rate at the back (from grey fronts and yellow rears to grey springs all round). This stopped the back collapsing, but the problem remains, just to a lesser extent. I dont really want to go to a harder spring than greys. I have considered an anti roll bar, but dont really like the the reduction in rough track handling associated with this. Has anyone got any advice? Some ideas I have: lower rear roll centre by raising the inside camber links; maybe thicker oil to slow down weight transfer, or number 2 pistons in the rear? (Im running AE shocks, 40wt no3s in the front, 35wt number 3s in the rear). I dont really understand how the car can hook (implying too much front end grip) while lifting a front wheel off the ground??? Surely some setup gurus on here will have some suggestions. Thanks in advance.
