    3 link set hard. loose off

    New to sport mods this year, only 4 races under my belt. I need help the car takes a s et when entering the corner and rotates well but from there It's very loose mid to off and I can't get into the throttle as soon as my competitors and they really pull away coming out of the turns. Any help would be nice.

    Thanks

        Bite number with or without driver? If everything else is good, I would raise the LR bite until entry starts to get loose.
        Bill W. and Dr. Bob......who could have known.

            Car is already loose so maybe decrease bite?

            1/4" stagger.
            3/8 mile track lots of bank turn radius different on both ends egg shape track.

              I'd do what Confused? said first.

              Then if you need more, move your pull bar on the axle over to the left.

              Decreasing bite generally tightens entry and loosens exit.

              You may find that increasing stagger will help. Right now, you don't have enough and your LR has already broken traction going around the turn. This could be causing it not to bite coming off the corner. I would think you need at least 1.5" stagger.

                Speedbuggy decreasing bite Tightens Entry and Loosens Exit the with increased LR bite on Decel the LR will turn the car making it loose on entry and on exit the Increase in LR bite will give the LR more drive Tightening your exit maybe you just had a typo because you said do what confused said which was increase bite to loosen entry

                  You're exactly right...I was distracted and got it bass-ackwards.

                  My bad...thanks for catching it. I corrected it above.

                      Found some binding on the right rear. Wow what a difference. Sometimes It's the simple things back to the basics

                          Shock body to brake caliper, slight contact. Not hard enough to dent shock body just enought to cause havock.
