Does anyone know if the chassis protective tape (UMW709) comes precut for the screw holes?

Are they still available?

Can you guys give me some hints to gain some more steering?
On our indoor carpet track I need some more steering at higher speeds...

[PaulRotheram]

Longer wheelbase will give more steering at higher speeds.

More washers on the front inside camber link for more mid and exit steering - you will loose some initial steering doing this though.

Swap the spindle washers on the front end to lower it, this will give more overall steering.


Posting your base setup will help others to help you more accurately though.

Do you mean dropping the hub within the c hub by putting the thicker washer on top?

[PaulRotheram]

Yep, apologies, should of explained it better!

[Kurtje]

Thank you very much!

I've got +- the base setup from Roger Mills on it.

So lowering the front axle height will give more overall steering?

[PaulRotheram]

Yeah, but this may also make the car a little snatchy, any of the above ive suggested will help.

Looking at that setup both washers are on the bottom, so even moving to the next setting up would help.
Which would be 1mm on the bottom, .5mm on the top..

Then after that .5mm on the bottom and 1mm on the top for further steering,

Then both washers on the top for uber steering.

[Kurtje]

Thank you very much Paul!
I'll gonna try that on Friday!

Yes both washers are on the bottem now.

I've already shortened the front link (hub/bulkhead) and used the outside hole (bulkhead) but this had not much effect.

I'll post the results after Friday over here!

[PaulRotheram]

A shorter front link will make the car roll less and more reactive initially, which wont give more overall steering, using the middle link will give more overall, with the side effect of the front end rolling and diving more. Its a preference of what you wish to put up with

[Kurtje]

Thank you Paul!

cheers, i'll give that a try (not that im struggling for steering, but good to try things )

[Kurtje]

Today was testday with the RB6

Followed the advice from Paul and the steering was very good!!!
Thank you!

[PaulRotheram]

Glad it worked out for you!!
