Mission set up

The back end is a bit slidy and cant get rid of it, can some1 give me any pointers on how to give the back end more grip? ???

It may be a good idea to post your current set-up, that should help people to help you.

Try softening the rear up (moving shocks in, softer sprint, different tyres etc)

I have been having the same problem, I put softer springs on, took off the anti-roll bar, layed the shocks down a bit. Still getting back end sliding. Then tonight something happened. I slowed down round corners lol, and I got more laps in, in fact at the start I got 32, at the end I was getting 37, just by going round the corners slower and more controlled. Not saying thats your problem, but give it a try.

try Half or maybe 1 degree more toe-in and camber

I found that puting the role bar on the rear the car was much more stable!

Well tbh I'm thinking it was my driving style to blame all along so things like that probably would help.

Your driving style shouldnt be the problem! You shouldnt realy change a persons driving style to suit the car, you should change the car to suit your style of driving.

First its good to know what surface and your current set up and when the back end is losing it... i.e. are you losing the back off or on power? This decides which end needs working on first.

Driving style counts alot as if you are too aggresive then you will to work on smoothing out you throttle control. Go slower where needed will get you round quicker!

Normally i'd quite agree, but I'm a complete beginner. I only started racing at the beginning of Jan. Up till then i'd never even moved a stick. So i'm learning, and part of that learning was to learn that going hell for leather and sliding round corners aint the quickest way.

Cheers guys, I'll play around with it and see what happens. :)

Im not sure i agree with the rest and wot about where you race is it carpit or wood if so wot tyres you using wot amount off grip have they got or (POSSIBALE)it might be your springs low on oil.

i would get the Fusion R12 upper bulkheads for the front and rear...it gave me more grip, more control over the car and it made the car more responsive...making it go faster round corners!
