Eclipse4 Manual

When using the alloy speed secret pivot parts (U7918 and U7919)
the roll centre can be adjusted by adding or removing spacers
from below the alloy pivot mount and alloy pivot block.
Lowering the roll centre (removing spacers) will give the car
more grip and increase chassis roll.
Raising the roll centre (adding spacers) will increase steering by
making the car rotate more from the rear.
The alloy pivot mount and block need a 1mm spacer in order to
maintain kit roll centre.
Softer springs will ride the bumps better and generally allow the car to roll
more which can increase steering, especially in the middle of the corner.
Harder springs make the car more responsive and are more suitable for
high grip tracks. They will generally increase initial steering but improve
mid corner stability.
Front damping can be used to tune the car depending on the track traction
levels. Like rear damping, in high traction track conditions, thinner oil is
required, compared to low traction track conditions, where thicker oil can
improve the cars driveability.
Thicker oil on the kingpin generally always gives a less responsive,
easier to drive car. Too thick oil on the kingpin may lead to a ‘lazy’ feeling
car which lacks corner speed.
We suggest a wide range of possibilities here starting from 12,000cSt - 40,000cSt
Wider front track width will make the car easier to drive, provide less
steering and give a slower response.
Narrower front track width will make the car harder to drive, provide
more steering and give a faster response.
Wider rear track width provides increased rear grip and an easier
to drive car.
Narrower rear track width increases corner speed and steering
making the car harder to drive.
Kit rear width has a 0.5mm and a 2.0mm spacer on both sides.
Remove or add spacers to suit (equally both sides).
MUST have equal spacers
beneath both parts.
Racers Tip: Using U7897 1mm
Alloy Pivot Spacer can make
this adjustment much easier.
Please note: These must both
be inserted from the front side.
Oil can be filled inside the
kingpins to give a long
lasting damping effect.
After some oil squirts out of
all the holes, spread evenly
around the kingpin surface.
