OPTIONAL SHOCK SPRINGS
Some basic guidelines when setting up the Delphi Indy car
are that if the rear end is stiff (by using harder rear springs or
softer front springs) it will give the car more steering and have
less rear traction. Stiffening the front will result in less steering
and more rear traction. (Note: Just changing the position of the
threaded shock pre-load adjusters will only result in ride-
height change. It does not change the spring tension).
TIRE TIPS
Typical with pavement style cars like the Delphi Indy car, tire
selection is the most important tuning component you can
make. Installing softer compound tires (whether rubber or
foam) will give you more traction but will wear faster. Installing
harder compound tires will result in less traction but better
wear and durability. Typically, choosing a slightly softer tire for
the rear and a harder tire for the front will give you a car that
will under-steer or push. This is a good set up when learning
to race as it is much easier to drive. Use the many available
tire compound options to tune your car to your driving style.
For example, if your car doesn't turn in hard enough at the
end of the straight (pushes), try using softer front tires.
Conversely, if your car tends to dive quickly into corner and
breaks loose the rear end easily, use a harder compound
front tire. If your car tends to break loose easily in tight high
speed corners. Try using softer rear tires.
There are many different settings for the Delphi Indy car. An
important tip is to only do one thing at a time and test run each.
Have fun!!!
