AutoX Tips/Setup

M3NetNerd · 03-16-2015, 07:51 AM

Anyone AutoX'ing an F8X? Anyone want to share tips and setup?

My first AutoX was all about traction or lack thereof. I couldn't keep the rear end straight at all.

Try more rear toe-in, might help. Going to be difficult to keep rear planted in 2nd gear no matter what you do though.

Can you get Hoosier A6's?

Higher front tire pressure will reduce oversteer.

I believe you can get a tiny bit of additional rear camber which would help corner exit although 2nd gear is mostly just a power issue helped by the hoosiers above.

Front toe-out will make it turn in harder, more rear toe-in will make it straighten up better exiting but not if the tires are spinning.
