Tamiya TRF416 - Jilles Groskamp - DHI Cup 2008 - 11-13.01.2008 -

Marc's set-up was same.

Viktor only used 0.5mm roll center shims and front 0.5mm anti-dive.

Do you remember the upper arm spacers in front?

The upper arm spacer was 5mm. Standard is 3mm but we all used 5mm to get the front camber link more level. This gave smoother steering, not so much camber change.

When you say Viktor used only 0.5mm roll centre shims, do you mean on the rear (i.e. Kit setup)?

Also, is the rebound strock measurement how little rebound you use? This is a setting I've only just started to play with, when do you alter it for your setups, or is it something you tend to set and leave?

The shims that Viktor used were on the rear on both suspension blocks and front only on the back suspension block to have little anti-dive. Tonight I tested it at my local indoor track and it was awesome.
The rebound I set very little in the shocks (3mm) so that helped the car not to flip to much going in the corner.
When the traction is good that always works with little rebound.

Can you please explain your technique for setting/adjusting rebound in the shocks?

When building the shocks I adjust the rebound by lifting the shock piston up till a certain height. Then I check the rebound and make all for the same. Normally I use very little rebound so I move the piston all the way up and let the oil coming out as much as possible. Difficult to explain but try as much as you can and you will learn it.

What tire additive did you use? And how did you apply the additive to the tires. From some of the pictures it looks like you were just applying a stripe of additive down the middle of the rear tires? Anyone know the part number for the EVO arms that Jilles used on his DHI setup?

I used CS high grip. Most drivers used it. Rear we applied full and 40 minutes before the run. Front 2/3 and 15 minutes before the run. The additive dryed out pretty soon so that's why it looks like we applied it in the middle.
The arms we used where the Evo5 arms.

The short suspension have the number 53928 (will fit on TRF416 / TRF415MS and higher / Evo5 and TA05 with reversible / TA05IFS)
