2) it is killing rear tires like they are going out of fashion.
Now I know there are quite a few of you folks who run this chassis on carpet and I really, really wasn't expecting it to be hugely different to the FS so I am lost as I say.
Anybody else find this or is it something strange in my chassis?
I've tried decreasing anti-squat and toe in, running a little extra camber and running the longest possible camber link (also tried the low height inner ball stud and 3mm under the outer end) ... nothing seems to be taming the rear of the car .... an anti roll bar turns it into a spinning top!
Right now the Scorpion is MUCH quicker around a given lap than the FS2 and the RB5 is also quicker (although not as much so as Scorpion). I think that I have lost something like 1s a lap in the FS2 rear end. Very very confused!
Damping range has been from 3b 30 down to 20 and 3a 35 down to 20. Tried 3x1.3 and 3x1.4 pistons in similar oil ranges too and the big bores! Springs from my usual #68 blue to #60 dark yellow and all in between.
Just to make sure that it wasn't a tweaked chassis I put the original FS rear end back on ... back to it's normal predictable and stable self!!!
Any help appreciated .... at the moment I am considering the most likely cause is that I am just too old to drive such a lively car and it's me not the FS2 at fault but before I get out the walking stick I am hoping somebody can pin point it for me! I know Nick Caro says he is "always on it" with his FS2 but I'm more of a lift and coast driver than a power-brake-power driver ... as I say, maybe that is the problem!

im confusaed when is it breaking away into a compleate off power corner hairpin etc or when lifting round sweepers.
