X6 rear end loose without solution

[samboneecanada]

We had a track on grass here in Canada for a DEMO day at a festival. it's was tons of fun. I know now about how all you EURO dudes must feel setting up your buggies etc... I did find that the motors got super hot.

here's what I noticed, the x6 outperformed all the other 2wds, hands down. on hard pack clay with dust off and on the line, I find that my bk2 tends to fish tail less.

any thoughts. I have already been running with the packs 6 across the back. any other thoughts. the problem is on-power coming out of turns.

thanks

You should post your entire setup...
I would try little or no antisquat and hubs and rear arms forward. Some lead on the rear should help too.

Are you using the 4 deg toe-in bar ? that will help a lot. Like Gayo said ehhh.... types, the whole setup would help.

Well I would recommend:
4 degree rear brace
2 large washers under toe brace (slight anti-squat)
arms and hubs spaced forward.
Ballstud mounted far out on rear hub (low too if on alloy hubs)
Use the new alloy camber link brackets, mounted with no washers in low position.
Raise the gearbox, to perhaps 0.06 or 0.09 - (higher = more traction)

Don't mount the cells accross the chassis, this puts too much weight to the rear and the car swings around like a pendulum. Mount them 4+2 and add lead (20g) around the rear, perhaps between the motor and gearbox.
