2014 Gen-X slick set up

[Matt49]

I'd say 5 1/2" - 6 1/2" depending on your scaling. Ultimately that doesn't matter. Your limiting dynamic wedge and roll steer with the chain. This is an adjustment that is way more critical than most people consider in my opinion. 1/4" at the chain could be 1/2" of wheel movement and you do the math on bar angles, birdcage indexing, roll steer, etc. It makes a pretty big difference.

Dry Slick

Well, I tried the advice given concerning the car this weekend and it didnt help. Car was awful. Removed LRF shock, set drop at about 13 3/4" 300RF, 500LF, 225RR, 175LR. 54.5% LS, 54.4% REAR, 1 1/8" Front stagger, 4 1/2" Rear stagger, 1/2" toe out. Ughhhhh.....about to sawzall this bitch in half!!

What track Cranky?

4.5" of stagger may be a problem.

Shocks?

5th coil?

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here since I'm really not sure what all you changed besides the drop and what the rest of the set-up is like on bar angles, j-bar, tires and etc.

I'm gonna say the car was way looser on exit then it has ever been before and the car either seemed to just want to spin the wheels or the ass end wants to go up the track towards the outside wall (if you're making sure your not spinning the rear tires).

That left side percentage is way to high....

[mod88s]

What would be a good left side % for dry with the Gen x dry slick?

[MBR Performance]

Doesn't matter if it's dry slick or racey it should be around 53.7. To much left side will make the car free

[mod88s]

with or without driver?

[MBR Performance]

Always scale with the driver

Just curious, What is your chassis number? We have a 2014 Gen-X with many of the same issues you speak of. This is our 3rd Gen-X behind 2 others that we were really satisfied with and I know newer cars have came along and stepped up the game, but this one will not react anywhere near what the other two did. We have a new car of another brand on the way but just curious as to how close in production yours was to ours.
