:: Tuning Tips
Camber Link Position:
The camber link is used to set static camber at ride height, but it is also an effective setting to adjust roll center height and camber
gain. The TC6 has 7 positions for the front camber link, and 14 for the rear. These positions vary in both length and angle.
Longer links will produce less camber gain, stiffening that particular end of the car in roll. These are particularly effective on large
tracks with big sweeping corners. Shorter links will give more camber gain, softening that end of the car in roll. This will make the
car more aggressive, and is a good setting for smaller indoor tracks with high grip levels.
The angle of the camber link will make fine adjustments to the roll center height. Typically the camber link will be no more than
parallel to the suspension arm with the inboard side of the link lower than the outboard side. As the inboard side of the camber link
is moved down, the roll center goes up, stiffening that end of the car. Camber link angle is a good adjustment to help fine tune the
balance of the car to the track by setting the front and rear at slightly different angles.
Caster:
Caster describes the angle of the kingpin from vertical while looking from the side of the car. Positive caster means the top of the
kingpin leans rearward. Negative caster means the kingpin is leaning towards the front of the car. Since caster is measured at the
wheel, it is affected by running any inclination in your inboard arm mount. Kick-up adds (+) caster, and anti-dive adds (-) caster.
When figuring out your caster at the wheel, add the number of degrees of kick-up or anti-dive and add it to the degree caster blocks
you have on the car.
Typically for most racing surfaces, 4 degrees caster is the normal starting point for the Team. From there, increase caster to reduce
mid to exit steering and make the front end less responsive. Conversely, decreased caster gives a more responsive feel and more exit
steering.
Arm Mount Position:
The TC6’s arm mounting system allows for maximum
adjustability for all track and racing conditions. Six arm
mount positions allow you to run the pins flat, or with angle
to produce kick-up, anti-dive, anti-squat, and pro-squat.
The arm mounts are indicated zero, one, two, and three,
with the corresponding number of dots on the outer face.
Zero is the lower roll center and three the higher roll center,
with one and two in order between.
Each bulkhead has two positions to attach the arm mount
to. The lower position (A) is used for the lowest roll center
options, and the upper position (B) is used for the highest
roll center options.
In general, lower roll centers will effectively make the car
softer in roll, allowing the car to lean more in the corners.
Lower roll center positions are good for low traction condi-
tions. If the grip level is high, then raising the roll centers
to a higher position will help to stiffen the car in roll
making it more stable.
The following chart shows some examples of arm mounting
positions along with their resulting arm angles shown in
degrees.

Droop:
The standard settings of 7mm front and 6mm
rear will work best in most cases. Droop is
measured just underneath the outer hinge pin
as shown in the photos to the right.
On bumpy or low grip surfaces, increase the
droop (going to a lower number on the droop
gauge), this will help increase traction and
consistency.
Droop adjustments of 0.5mm to 1mm can be
very effective on the track!
