Not 100% happy with these but may be of
use to others…
These are what I developed at the
Carpet Thrashnal on the 15th November. They were good enough to
qualify 5th in 13.5, and finish 5th and 2nd in the finals. There is
definitely a lot more to come.
The initial setup is what I threw on
the car before arrival. It has a few tweaks to the roll centres,
shocks and bars compared to the kit setup. It proved to have a bit too
much steering, so during the day I stiffened the oil, springs and
bars, and raised the roll centres to get the final setup, which was
well balanced but a bit edgy at the limit once the grip came up.
Unfortunately I ran out of parts before
I could try any stiffer suspension or chassis settings! Will be trying
the foam top-deck and 1.4mm bars at the next meeting – possibly
more. These parts seem to be working well in other hands.
