Well happy with the car today at Stotfold, 7th in round one, which was good considering I only had two pairs of front rims and they both had yellows on in the greasy conditions.
Round two and I tried the front caster blocks in the rearward position for more steering, unfortunately on full lock the wheels bind on the wishbone so that was a wasted run.
Round three and with yellows all round I had the rear too soft and it was too edgy and had some grip roll problems but still managed 8th in round. Round four was much better, yellows all round, harder on the oil in the back and lower and a 12 lapper.
Round by round put me ninth on the grid but with 4 people above me not posting a twelve lapper all day I thought that should put me in a good position for the final.
Wheelie off the line (grip came right up) and up into seventh, then sixth, a few laps at the same position but catching the pack and a run to the line with the two cars in front finishing a few tenths ahead to finish 4th overall. A good result with the car getting better all day and responding to all the changes.
In the damp: (rear) 20wt losi oil, 1.4mm piston, yellow spring, inside hole on wishbone, 3rd hole in on tower. 1 degree alloy hubs with middle camber link position and middle/inner on tower. 3 degree alloy block upside down to give a total of 4 degrees of toe in.
(front) 30wt losi oil, 1.3mm piston, blue spring, inside hole on wishbone, second hole in on tower. Inner camber link position on caster block, middle/middle on tower. Caster block on rear position.
In the dry: (rear) 30wt losi oil only change.
(front) 35wt losi oil, caster block on middle position only change.
Car is excellent everywhere, particularly over the Stotfold bumps and jumps, would probably benefit on the sweepers/in the air from a front wing so i'll try that next time.
