CS tryout on asphalt
by admin on Dec.06, 2009, under Uncategorized
Initially the chassis setup was base on several common setup I took from various websites. Typical front soft spring, one way diff, camber -6*, toe 0*, caster 4* and rear medium spring, spool, camber -1*, toe -3*. Both front and rear internal ratios has been changed to meet overdrive of 2.00. Surface was smooth asphalt. And the car is very very snappy. Its really hard to modulate the rear throw
Gave up even by changing my driving style. So then I tried to change the internal ratios to meet overdrive 1.50 just to give a feel. CS was very easy to control but at times occasionally it was neutral drifting, which is not what I wanted.
So I changed back the overdrive to 2.00 and tried different springs on rear. I tried about 5 sets of different spring and ended having the rears on soft-medium spring (slightly harder than the fronts). CS is way much better to control with transition is predictable and controllable I’d say. And I did some changes to the camber along the way when I tried the springs, front camber -6* and rear camber -4*.
I tried to put more weight on the front about 100g, I think its twitchy so I decided not to put any weights yet. Later on the weights.
Next week I will try to play with the front and rear toe. Currently I’m having front 0* and rear -3*. Plus will also need to try out the weights and shock position.
As for today, the car is controllable but still couldnt do a complete perfect CS run over the track. Always spinning (this is because not enough run time, need more practice). I still havent change my driving style which I should.
And I also notice that even with the CS setup, the car speed is similar to my non-CS setup.
Sorry no pictures, I was alone (…and freezing) at the track. To be continued…
