B44 Polished Wood Setup

[gav4wd]

Ive been running a B44.1 for a few weeks on polished floor and found the car suffers understeer, all things ive tried to make it more postive on the front just make it unstable think it may just be that type of chassis.
If you want a steery animal maybe the b44 is not the beast to have but i think it could be a great safe chassis outside.

Dunno whether this is any good for you,but it's the technique I used to use
to get around a polished wood corner with my old Mid.

These lot call it a "Feint Drift" instead of a Finnish or Scandanavian Flick:

I know it's done on GT3,so it's a game,maybe useful to you,maybe
complete bollox.

ive been running mine on polished since it was released and have never and do not suffer from understeer, probably the opposite, its just lacking in over all grip is all,

Finally cars working alot better, up'd the oil to 35 & 30 wt and removed both roll bars. Also borrowed a set of worn mini spikes of BigG.
Managed to finish 1st in the B hopefull make it into the A Next time
Also wezzers car now looked dialed!

That's good to hear Westwood. The A's not far away.

Wezzer, was yours the same setup?

[wezzer]

yeah pretty much. usually run a little toe out on the front , say one or 2 degs but ran it parrallel last night and no roll bars , car was dialled :-)
but hadnt upped the weights so am running 25 rear 30 front !
green rear srings and silver front with ghea rear pistons and i think number 2s (AE) front !
would of tried silver springs on the rear and maybe the rear roll bar but didnt want to change it last night as it was super fast :-)

[westie]

I think il still the ghea pistons in there next, then maybe a black rear roll bar and middle wheel base as i go through the night next week

[westie]

Managed to get in the A this week did a few little set up changes, changed the wheelbase to the middle, also fitted the black roll bar on the back car was dialed untill someones shock leaked all over the track. Trying ghea pistons out next time out

Nice one westwood.

Wezzer, your car looked alright in the final? Your final time would have put you 2nd in the A final.

Did you change your setup after qualifying?

[wezzer]

yeah it was ok , but not like it was the week before, i did yes only slightly, tightened the rear diff.
i think there was more oil down in the a final !! about 3/4's in rob morris dropped his load on the track :-s dirty boy !!!
