:: Tuning Tips Tips for Beginners: Before making any changes to the standard setup, make sure you can get around the track without crashing. Changes to your car will not be beneficial if you can’t stay on the track. Your goal is consistent laps. Once you can get around the track consistently, start tuning your car. Make only ONE adjustment at a time, testing it before making another change.
PAGE 25
:: Tuning Tips Anti-Roll Bar: Anti-roll bars are only effective during roll (when the chassis leans from side to side when cornering). Because of this they isolate a change in the suspensions spring rate in the corners only, and can be a very useful tuning option. Anti-roll bars stiffen the spring rate of the suspension during roll movements when cornering. The larger the roll bar wire, the stiffer the spring rate will be in roll.
