    Best way to get to turn off throttle

    I know this is a generic question without numbers, but with a car that is really fast and wins but if the track is hooked up or ruff it needs to turn better off the throttle on entrance what would you do

    More lower bar angle, stiffer LR spring (but could cause a tight spot in throttle).

      Any way you can gain cross weight in an off the throttle situation. Many different approaches to take, each with their own trade offs.

        If the track is pretty hammer down and the off throttle time is short and aggressive you might want to try more preload or a stiffer 6th coil, if handling is good every where else then you will only affect eoff throttle entry.

          Shut off rf brake.(seems obvious quick fix)
          lower ph bar at frame/raise on pinion
          more angle up to front in rr upper bar & esp. lower bar
          more compression dampning/pressure rr shock
          more rebound in lr shock
          take rebound out of 5th coil shock
          increase rr air pressure
          anything to keep weight on lr and not have car get on rr as fast/hard will help

          and as always less lf spring

          YMMV

            Adjust shocks is the easiest way. More compression/pressure RF

              Soften left front spring,no affect on exit

                i agree with zeke,take 100lbs of spring out,she'll turn,it may like more than that

                  A common problem some encounter is getting tight on entry off throttle due to rapid lr hike down and rapid loss of rear steer.

                  If it turns on the gas don't lift....LOL!

                    If your running a lot of rear steer It could be set down issues to look at your LR shock settings. You can raise the LF rebound too see if it helps that might indicate a spring change on the LF could help. Depends on how bad you are. Lowering the Jbar on the frame side, More RRL bar Angle, So many areas to look at. Maybe just Tighten Up your Chain Limiter on the LR
