What's rake?

These cars are tail happy with being so light, check your rear shocks this can cause tail happiness.

Is your ABS working ok? Have you checked/adjusted your level sensor on the rear beam? This is linked to the head lights and the brakes. It automatically adjusts the headlights to suit your load, but also adjust the brake bias for the same reason.

Looks lower at the back than at the front now. Thats not right?

 

[Pat 182]

What suspension did you have on that Jim?

It looks very similar to apex.

Of course rake will have an effect on handling. That's why the corner weight race cars! Best you can do in terms of setting up is stick it on flat ground, and measure from the sills to the floor. Or just do it by eye like I did haha!
