This hits on a good point.
When I used to race when I was younger I just drove the car. I hardly ever changed settings, I just adjusted my driving and over compensated for how the car performed.
I got plenty of help from lads at the club, and they gave some good advice on how to overcome some of the problems I was having. Hopefully I've sorted that for next week.
I think part of the problem is I'm using LIPO's in the SP, which I believe it wasn't designed for, so the front needs some weight adding and I've had to soften up the suspension a little as I had 1 hole pistons in the front shocks and the oil was slightly too thick.
I also struggled a bit with rear end grip. The floor was a dusty sports hall, more experienced drivers seemed to have way more grip. I'm using schumacher yellow mini spikes with medium inserts (I think). 2 hole pistons and yellow kyosho shocks.
After reading one of the articles posted earlier, I've moved the rear shocks into a more upright position to hopefully get a little more traction, and I've added 2 degree of negative camber.
Any more tips would be good.
