Random overheating wheel?

[zedfonsie]

Well I had this problem for quite some time now.

What happens sometimes is that when I drift into a corner the the front wheel that is closest to the inside of the corner overheats and I spin out instantly.

But also some times the wheel on the outside of the corner overheats and causes dramatic oversteer.

What do I do to stop this?



Edit it is RWD and I use comfort hard tires with about 530hp 370z

what tyres you using and is it RWD?

Sounds like you don't have enough toe out on your front wheels.

Toe our is negative right?

 

[SixCylSamurai]

Yeah toe out reads as a negative on GT5.

 

[zedfonsie]

Ah, I was running with 0 toe on the front of most of my drift cars

I got that problem all the time. Both front tires overheat and completely lose grip (there's no more resistance from the wheel).
Unfortunately I don't know how to set up the toe properly, it's stock on all the cars.

Try adjusting the front toe out by small increments like -0.02° or even -0.01° at a time if you want precision and check out until you got the sweet spot. I'm not 100% sure if this is the proper way but I getting my rides in great angles and keep going. Usually I'm happy with around -0.15° max to -0.08° min.

Lol, mine overheat all the time, it doesn't really bother me, 'cause to me it doesnt feel like i lose grip at that point...

If youre on the wheel you might be applying too much countersteer or throttle making your car lose traction in the front. If youre on controller, I dont know. It might just be your technique or something.

My g27 is coming back after it broke soon.

When I first attempted g27 drifting (right after it broke)
It is was almost impossible I am going to watch the whole drift bible some time today. 👍
