Default HELP !! TC handling problem !!

hi all,

ive been off the track for around 6 weeks while my wife brought a new person into the world. so i took the oppotunitly to complete a ground up rebuild on my TC.

however upon returning to the track on saturday gone the car was behaving VERY strangly with no obvious signs of fault.

the car was put back to a basic setup and all seemed well but had 0 rear end low speed traction, on or off power the rear would break away

however on the longer high speed bends the problem was not so evident.

even to the point where i was using full additive on the rear and non on the front the problem persisted

i tried a few things and had a few peeps look at it and no-one could come up anything there and then

the car is a corally RDX PHI and was raced on carpet with jaco foams

basic setup inc, 40wt frt and 30wt rr oils no roll bars etc

ive run this a few times before and never experienced anything of the like

any help would be fabulous

many thanx

tony

Did you try a different set of foams?

I'd be inclined to say that as you've not raced for a while the foams may have dried out. Unless of course you've kept them in a sealed bag.
