TRACK SETTINGS
REAR ANTI SQUAT SPACERS
The Kit build anti squat is set at 2°. This works best on most tracks, and
with the included parts can be increased or decreased. Generally less
anti squat allows the suspension to work better over the large bumps and
gives more power on steering. Reducing the anti squat makes the car
handle better over small ripples, but not so good on the tracks with large
bumps.
See Page 16 Bag E - Step 37
LOW ROLL CENTRE
Lowering the kit pin height to pin low will give the rear more roll. This
gives more side grip to the rear and more on power steering. If you
are lifting a rear wheel going into corners then lower the pin or lay the
rear shock over.
The base setting gives the best balance between steering and stability. Using a wider front hex will
make the car more aggressive. Using a wider rear hex will help with more forward drive and initial
turn in. Narrowing the rear will give more on power steering and increase side traction.
See Page 09 Bag C - Step 19
FRONT YOKE
The LD2 has a rake angle (kick up) of 25°. This should be
added to the castor block angle to get the total castor angle.
The standard car uses a 5° castor block making the standard
car 30° in total. This can be decreased to 25° by using the
optional 0° castor block.
The 30°
angle will increase on power steering and stability.
The use of less castor will increase initial turn in.

GEAR DIFFERENTIAL
Geared Diffs can give variable driving characteristics. The handling of the
diff is tuned by changing the oil. A recommended starting point is 12,000
cSt (CR229). Recommended option oils would be 10,000 cSt (CR222) and
7,000 cSt (CR221). Running two gears will give more drive and off power
steering. Use 7,000cSt on high grip tracks, if you start spinning a wheel on
power, go up on oil until it stops.
We recommend changing the oil more often when running 2 gears.
