Tyres: Tried Yellow Schumacher Blocks on OG 2.1" wheels Fr & Rr (outside row cut off fronts) - good on astro & outdoors on grass. Yellow Fr (2wd Slim) & Rr Minipins used at West Bridgeford on BossCat Aerodish wheels & most recently wide (4wd) Yellow compound cut staggers front & Yellow Minispike rears on JC Racing dished wheels - worked well on indoor astro at Silverstone & Deanshanger
Track name: Silverstone, Deanshanger, West Bridgeford (all indoor) Wicksteed park (outdoor)
Track surface: Astro, Primafelt Carpet & old-skool grass
How did the car perform: Car always has a tendancy to grip roll from the rear on the high grip astroturf surfaces hence the high inner link position but is excellent all round on grass & on the lower grip carpet at West Bridgeford. I would like to try a rear roll bar in the future. Another issue is the front 'bouncing' when landing off a ramp - the damping is a soft as I dare given the grip roll issue & doing the 2nd hole shock tower mod & outer lower shock position has helped the front end feel slightly less 'dead' on landings, but on close inspection it appears the shock towers flex about the crashback pivots about the same amount as the shock absorbers move! Some thought is needed here! Best result so far is 4th in the A final amongst the regular modern 2wds on a club night at Silverstone
