Post by: TomTom on August 28, 2009, 08:16:13 pm

What type of camber settings would you need for 1/4 mile high bank asphalt tracks, not running the Legend tire???

THANKS

You really need to buy the Dwarf Car Technology book that Stevie Smith wrote.  It will answer most if not all of your questions.

   I have the smith book it's mostly for dwarfs on dirt. I run a legend chassis as a dwarf on high bank asphalt. Did you look @ the ride height suggestions for asphalt tracks something like 5" plus, ya ok you try that & see how it goes.  The few things it does say to do for asphalt is for low to medium banked asphalt, not  18* to 22* banked tracks.

Lots more information needed in order to not give a less than half-assed answer. Knowing nothing about the rest of your set up, type of pavement, barometric pressure etc., I would start with +2 LF -3.5 RF and check your tire temps after hot lapping

 I must of not explained what I was wonderin, does the higher the banked try need more or less camber ? I got a caster/camber gauge finally and set my LF @ + 2*, RF @ -4*

That would depend on your cross, roll center, and tire. I would go with what you have, and measure tire temps after hot lapping to adjust from there

Tom,

There is plenty of information for asphalt cars in the Dwarf Car book. Don't have mine handy at the moment or I would give you the page numbers.
