Help:P
In less than a week, I'll be leaving to go to the slippery clay track in Vaasa for the worlds. I did okay at the warmup, had a less than perfect qualifying, but still managed to be in the C-main together with Hupo, Tomcock and such.
Why I'm writing here though is because I have no idea how to make the car feel like I want it to... At the warmup, I just had to drive it very smooth and slow, I could never punch it. It was all about driving slow to carry speed, but I could never get anything extra out of the car if needed. My level was maxed out at driving the car quite slow.
I've tried a few things with springs and links, but the car seems to react very little to my changes, and it always has the feeling of floating on top of the surface; it never really digs in to find grip.
Also, trying to hit the throttle early will just end up in wheelspin, nothing more.
This makes it a struggle when there's a track with big jumps, as I neither get enough speed, and also I struggle with the car not having enough bounce to jump high and far enough even when I get the power down perfectly.
So that's where I am. I'm basically running Dustin Evans setup as a starting point, and I've tried a few things at my local track that hasn't really helped me a lot.
So I ask you, all Ooplefriends, any tips to radical things I can try whilst practising this last week? Also, some inputs in terms of pistons and oil on jumps are very welcome!
