Sidebite....

[Roudy73]

Looking for more sidebite on a track that never cleans off, anyone have any tips? Thanks!

More jbar angle and/or more lf spring

rr spring and lean the rr shock in if you can

Caster gain could be an issue. What type of car?

How much change are you talking with the LR. We are normally on a 225. I mess with the J-bar a bit when the driver says he needs side bite but it seems to bite me in the a$$ when the track cleans off.

13 blue rocket

The way the cars are now, I think caster in general is detrimental to side bite.

What's the anti dive in uppers as well as the Caster in it now? What's j bar at? RR inset fromRF???

It is the standard setup out of the rocket book, with the rf out...

You likely need a softer RF spring. What's in it now? Track condition? If relatively smooth and medium to low/no moisture, with that year car, a 275-300, with a proper bump stop is pretty common. You need to get with someone experienced and with the correct equipment to get it set up correctly or you will spend a long time figuring it out....and bottoming out chassis and pushing.

Matt could you explain that further?

Still just running a 350, the track has moisture around the bottom so it never really cleans off.

I think what Matt is getting at is with too much caster, when you countersteer the rf jacks weight to the lr.

So people are running less than standard?

I'd give a 300-325 a try if your completely on the most current baseline Rocket set. What shock mfg on RF?
