need help with tuning

[traxxasking20]

hey so ive made threads like this one before and never got a descent answer all i get is just practice or learn by youre self but right now im really desperate for a good tune. right now all im doing with my s15 race modification is spinning out. ive tried all the settings i could find online and tried to tune it by myself but nothing working for me so if you guys have a good tune for the s15 race modification that will not make me spin out every single turn or move that make please post it here.

thank you

here are a couple of driffts were i got lucky

i also have trouble with the entry and exit of the drift

Well lets start with basics. How are you at drifting in other cars? Is it a problem with this car or your ability? Post up the best settings you found so far, and maybe we can help to alter those for you.

 

[traxxasking20]

this i the best setup i found so far

it has about 467hp

ride height: -10 front & rear
spring rate: 6.0 front, 5.2 rear
dampers (extension): 5 front, 5 rear
dampers (compression) : 5 front, 5 rear
anti roll bar: 2 front, 3 rear
camber: 3 front, 0.5 rear
toe: 0 front & rear
LSD: 60 all around

Try this.

ride height: -10 front 0 rear
spring rate: 6.5 front, 5.5 rear
dampers (extension): 4 front, 4 rear
dampers (compression) : 3 front, 3 rear
anti roll bar: 2 front, 2 rear
camber: 2.0 front, 0.8 rear
toe: 0 front & rear
LSD: 60/60/40


EDIT: Report back with how it "feels" and I'll recommend changes based off of what you tell me.

 

[traxxasking20]

how did you come up with that??

 

[articzap]

Because I know what changes to make based off of what I see. I don't really need to test it to know what I would want.

 

[traxxasking20]

ill try it later on today because got to share the game with my father and he is playing right now.

thank you

 

[articzap]

Like I said, tell me as specifically as you can, what the car is doing that you like and dislike. Only way I can alter the setup to better help you.

 

[traxxasking20]

The setup is almost perfect but I think the front end is a little to grippy maybe it's the rear end I don't know but sometimes in the middle of the drift the car just turns in the opposite direction like it's trying to link another drift. And most of the time when I exit the drift it also turns in the opposite direction and I cannot stop it. other than that it's great

 

[articzap]

Sounds like a throttle control issue personally. You can try either raising the back swaybar to 3 and/or dropping the front spring rate to 6.0.

Let me know what that does.

EDIT:

Leave the front springs alone and try sway bars at 3 F and 4 R. If you have a good amount of understeer you don't like, put front sway at 2. =]

 

[traxxasking20]

ok thanks ill try it out tomorow tonight im watching hockey

 

[articzap]

Better or worse??

 

[traxxasking20]

Worse but I practiced alot with the setup you first gave me and came pretty good with. But i'm still have trouble with alot of corners. All need is some practice. And again thank you for you're help.
