Faversham Off-Road Car Club - FORCC

Gnarly I noticed your setups had appeared on Petit for the FORCC regional and you had both rear and mid configurations. How did they compare? What did you settle on?

This True - we had a 2 day regional at Faversham last weekend and I took the opportunity to run both configurations - the mid car during the 2WD class on the Saturday and the Rear car during the 4WD class - just so I could learn a little bit more about them both.

Firstly - the weather was massively changable during the weekend and we'd be on yellows for one run and BB greens the next. But I found both configurations pretty decent nad even when the grass wore down, the balance of the car was still evident and I could gain more forward traction than most of the other 2WD runners and even in round 4 of 4WD qualifying (after 2 hard days of racing), I got a sub top 10 time in round against the 4WDs so I was pretty stoked.

A couple of things I noticed about the 2 back to back 1) The rear car needed less pack in the front shocks than the mid car

2) I reversed my roll centre washers on the front as the mid car would naturally stay in the corner longer but the rear car needed a bit more encouragement to keep in in the corner on power.

3) I reversed my logic in terms of wheelbase settings - to gain more 'traction' with the mid car- I went SWB but with the rear car, all this does is add to the pendulum so I went back to Medium Wheelbase (i.e. longer) to prevent the car over rotating. 4) You can run more front tyre with the rear car than the mid without it getting all unnecessarily nervous on corner entry
