Recently I've been an advocate for the b6.4 front end (since my 6 keycap is broken we will just refer to this as the old front end). drivers like Nick, are of the opinion that since there is no KPI, it has more steering, while this is true, the front link gets super long, and for a little I was combating this by going to the outer hole on the front link, however this made the car traction roll, which noah really didnt enjoy that one time i let him race it in stock :D. so I returned to the center hole on the front link, which makes the car feel like it either has a super high front roll center, or it has too soft of a spring, it felt like the weight just didnt want to transfer into the correct spots, and it was super annoying in turns like the 180 after the triple, to combat this, I moved my white spring shock to the outer hole on the arm, and added 2mm of droop, and by extension i had to add a 2mm external limiter in order to stop the suspension from binding. this made the car feel.. better. then I went to the higher diff and axle height (2) and that made the car feel... better, even with some rear roll center changes, the car didnt want to rotate in those slow 180s with the old front end, but when i added some droop, and raised the diff and axle heights, THEN ADDED ANTI-SQUAT, that made it work more, which im assuming is less of an effect from droop, as changing the axle height by extension changes droop. Regardless, the car feels pretty good. Now what I really need to do is test it after a Saturday morning race session, because right now the car feels a bit light on grip, now I did put a lot of runs on that dirt, so the track may have had more grip than I thought, and I never reverted the change of raising the rear roll center, at 19mm, and -1* of camber all around, i feel like when the track is more grippy (like ins which is what i really had in mind), lowering the car to 17mm, which is what i usually run, will make the car turn more. I do have a few more changes in mind.

  • go back to the 1 rear heights, and try a stiffer rear spring (1up gold or white)
  • go back to the 1 rear heights, and move the battery 1 position fwd, or even use the 1/2 offset to move it 1/2 pos fwd
