OLD
NEW
Do you spot all the differences?
It's new geometry for the rocker arm system up front. In the last test I was made aware that the rocker arms were hitting extreme angles - causing a lot of forces to be applied onto the axle of the rocker arm, and not actually into the rotation (=into the damper). This may make the suspension less consistent - and it sure will compromise it's durability.
Also, it turned out that the car had less droop on the front end in practice than in the CAD model - in fact the droop of the car was quite low (only a few millimeters really). The new system allows for a lot of droop, so much that I'll probably be running internal shock limiters
At least then I'll be able to adjust the droop accordingly.
On the 11th of November I'll have my next racing event - I will take the car with me next to my TRF201 - and I'll probably be driving this car or the TRF201 in the 4WD class (it's a club race, so it's not a big deal) so I can get the most from the few events I'll be able to visit this winter
I hope I'll have the new parts in by then, it promises to be a lot of fun!
