Report post. Posted December 6, I recently discovered a few tricks that are being used to cheat in the sport mod class that may help the tech guys in the future; 1 The use of oxygenated fuel. The cars that I have seen using these tricks have won heat or feature races this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites. Nathan 0.

Posted December 11, Posted December 11, edited. HiTech 0. Posted December 12, The question is how do you go about finding the set up that will work for you? The first thing I will tell you not to do is go out and try to out dollar the competition. Set yourself a budget and only buy the necessary components needed.

When looking at buying a part I always think first: is it necessary? Second: Will it make me faster or potentially faster? The driver plays a huge role in the setup of the car.

They have to be able to know and remember what they feel from each change made to the car. This is another reason we recommend making only one adjustment each time you race. The driver must learn to not only feel changes in the car, but describe what they felt in the car to the person helping them. If you are not able to determine what is going on, or how your car felt, I would recommend trial and error. It is a good way to try something that is completely different or just something you think might work.

I have had great defeat in these cases and great victory in these cases, but I learned from every experience. This entire sport is a learning experience; those that learn quickly will succeed in a much faster manor than others. No matter what you change make sure to write it down and document the way it made the car feel.

Document how the car drove into the corner, through the corner, and off of the corner. You can never keep enough records. Another way to get your car set up and going in the right direction is to have a weekly maintenance routine. After you race your car or even practice, the first thing you should do is wash it. Get it nice and clean before you start to adjust or try to work on it. After you wash the car, go directly to the scales.

Once you have looked over the scale numbers and percentages, write everything down and begin to adjust if need be. When you get done scaling the car and documenting all information, you have one final task ahead of you. You will need to do a complete bolt check of the car.

Put a wrench on every single nut and bolt. This may seem simple because it is! Unfortunately it is commonly overlooked and often causes major problems for the racer.
