Thanks for the advice Chris and gnarly.
I've taken a look at your setup from Maritime Chris and it's not all that far away from what I came up with for my previous round on the carpet/slippery floor track. I do however have a few questions if you don't mind?
You say on the setup that you use 55 pistons all around (I used 54 in the rear last time) with a rounded edge? Does this mean you screw the piston to the shock shaft upside down and what advantage does this give over the standard 55 piston?
Secondly, you are running the +.75 rear hexes, are these BRCA legal and how do they help the setup? A more planted rear end under power?
And finally, I find it curious you are using the 3deg caster blocks, I imagine this would make the car very aggressive and pointy or does the addition of the 4mm trailing axles tame the front end so much that a 3deg block is manageable?
I would consider myself a pretty quick driver but I lack consistency at times which damages my qualifying (especially during round by round qualifying) so I need a safe setup I would have thought.
I intend to run your setup (using either a 3.5deg or 4.5 deg HRC block as that's what I have) at the weekend and make tweaks from there that I will post on here.
Chris, outdoors I race mainly at Bury Metro which is a fairly flat astro track with some harsh bumps and off camber sections.
Thanks again for the help
Chris
