410 Rear wheels lifting under braking

[dibble34]

Hi all

Just fine tuning my setup, one issue I have is under heavy braking at the end of the straight the car dips and the rear wheels lift. Sometimes to the point it flips over from the front. Brake is not extreme, I think around 50%. Is there anything on setup that can reduce the weight transfer under braking?

Cheers

I would say either reduce the brakes. Or maybe put some spacers in the front shocks

Hi Dibble, your slipper clutch is too tight, back the nut off a full turn, turn your brakes back up to 100% and try it again. If in "Endo's" again, back it off half a turn and test again.

This will also make the car easier to drive under acceleration and will make your braking more predictable.

Another way is to limit the droop some more. But slipper sounds the best bet, as you car is already very punchy. Backing it off a touch will not do any harm and should feel a tad easier to drive in the damp too.

Cheers Jamie, really happy with the car now, just need to iron out little things like this to be more consistent. Not having you taking the credit though if it does work

You better get some stick time before I get a 4WD out to play! Yeah your going very well at the moment. Car seems pritty good too, as you said its just fine adjustments.
I do find sometimes, I and other's try to fiddle too much with setup once its nearly there. But don't focus on driving it better if that makes sense?. I used to run my 410 fairly light and with Ghea pistons. Which seemed to work well at Torch, over the slight ripples the track has at the moment.

Hi
Brilliant, thanks very much. I worry about burning the slipper out if too loose, but it is quite tight.
Will report back next week
