Heya folks,
We are getting more and more of the Tom Thumb regulars into racing the Cup Cars. One of the things we have noticed with the conversions is the cars seem to really want to flip around on left handed turns. We race our cup cars on the road course, so no LTO here, but a few of us are struggling with a setup to combat this issue. Seems like the f1's (not converted) may not have been as prone to this.
This past week, I was able to get my car to handle a bit better, but it still wanted to turn on itself on the left handers.
My setup:
- Kyo ribbed 30 G front tires
- Kyo ribbed 20 G rear tires
- green front springs
- red rear springs
- Kyo diff
- Xspeed
- 8 tooth pinion
One of the things I did late last night was dig up a 2 year old megatech huge mono-shock. It was long enough that I could make a mount for it and use it on the rear of the cup car. I am hoping that having some rear adjustability will help in dialing out the tendency to flip on itself so easily. I have checked the tweak, and it looks to be ok, pretty much spot on.
Do you guys have a good working setup?
