Re: loose exiting
Circle track cars have some quirky setups, but regardless...
Rather then just chassis setup, what are you as a driver doing when this happens? I assume you are trying to accelerate out of the turn so your on the throttle... so maybe your right foot is a bit too enthusiastic? Other wise, when does it start to slip? ass soon as you increase throttle? Just trying to figure out if its a damper or other chassis setup issue. |

Re: loose exiting
when you say "411 gears locked" are you saying you have a locked rear end? If so thats not going to help things. I would suggest a limited slip diff instead. That way you can fine tune the lock ratio so your wheels turn at different speeds in the corner but not so much that you spin a wheel.

Re: loose exiting
thank you guys for your help, just discussing this with someone is helping me alot..thanks. as far my gettin on the throttle too hard or too quick, i try not to do this. this definnetly worsens the problem. i would love to accelerate out of the corner but i can't get on it till my tires plant.
this causing me to slow. alot of times i get passed on the outside coming out of the corners. i've also tried coming into the corner higher so i can get out lower wich has only helped little. i can't remember drivein an open diff. as opposed to the locked rearend but i do remember arguein the point that one of my wheels has to break free on the corners. however this is supposed to be taken care of by stagger, wich my team has tried a number of different things. most racers evedently lock the rearends. but that is a good point i'll bring up at next team night. thanks again. |

Re: loose exiting
Stagger should be able to deal with the locked rear end much like an LSD, However unless you are running at only one track, you are going to have to re-adjust the stagger for every other track you run at. I know Circle tracks are suppose to be simmilar but there are differences in bank angles and such that can throw your stagger settings off.
I'll dig up one of my chassis setup books and re-read the section on Wedge, there might be some info there that can help. This could be something as simple as your cross weights being off, or in need of tweaking. |
