Default How do i stop tail happy under acceleration

Right guys im running my cougar sv and i really think
its great for riding the bumps and jumping,
But i seem to get the back end kick out alot
under acceleration from the corner.

The grip into and mid corner is great but under acceleration
out of corners it kicks right out.

How do i stop this? do i get a new rear brace of 4degrees
or stand the shocks up on the tower maybe.

Can never remember if its standing shocks up helps or laying them down on exit traction.

Any helps much appreciated.

Or maybe try the longer chassis would this help?
Im running on astro using staggers on front and yellow spikes on rear

I'd give Tom Cockerill's setup a go that he used at Stotfold or RHR. It's in the setup section on here and on www.racing-cars.com
Seemed to sort out the majority of issues I was having with rear end grip.

Probably first off, try backing your slipper off a little see if this helps.

I usually set mine so that I can just about move it when holding the rear wheels.
It would have to be stupidly loose to burn it out.

What oils and springs are you running?

Perhaps try spacers under the rear block?

This will be less anti-squat, so it will squat more, hence more weight transfer to the rear. Increased traction on power?

4 degree block might help too? Not sure.
