Default TC setup rules of thumb...

hi all,

i was just wondering if some where theres a list of general effects to the handling of a touring car for certain setup changes ( if that makes sense )

i.e the harder the spring used.....
the lower the ride height...more? less?
camber..more? less?
castor ...more? less?

etc etc

its just im in the process of making a return to RC (was my first race in 8 years the other night) and im completely new to TC (having raced off road before)
while it all felt good i dont wana upset the car by changing things the wrong way...

i totally understand that all cars ar different and so the set ups are different but there must be a gerneral rule for all adjustments???

im driving a corally RDX PHi in case anyone needs to know

many and huge thanx

tony

I can seriously recommend the following book, it explains everything to do with TC handling perfectly!

http://www.xxxmain.com/bookz.shtml

If you have a specific handling issue (eg understeering out of a corner) it tells you exactly what to do to the toe-in/out, camber, springs etc.

I found mine for a fiver on ebay, its the essential pit box book!
