Roll Over

[Al Nasiatka]

How the heck do you keep a strike from rolling over?

[L@gger]

I dont have it but main reasons why cars are rolling over are: high ride high, weight center is high(try to get everything down as much as possible)

Are you traction rolling ?

[Al Nasiatka]

Whats that? I will be in a hard turn and the inside wheel will lift. Then over I go. Springs set loose, I can move them up and down. The truck sits higher then my Blitz. Is there anything to lower it?

[Briguy]

If your pulling the inside wheel then you need to change the setup to that track . Traction rolling is when the track has a lot of grip and you go around the corner to fast and the truck has so much grip it will pull the truck over .

:)Yeah that has happened to me. My short course thruck was just fine at my local track, but when I went to a track that had some sort of glue put down on the track I was definetly traction rolling!!!
I guess I should have put my front shocks to the outermost position or something. "I was tempted to run slicks on that track!":)

For high grip track thicker oil/ stiffer springs and if you are traction rolling lower ride high.

You can limit the droop of the car. Kind of hard on an 10th scale as you need to take apart the shocks but this helps with traction rolling as well as it limits weight transfer.

The adjustable threaded shocks is the way to adjust ride height...is that correct? But if I adjust them all the way down, aren't I also stiffening up the springs too? Is there any other way to adjust ride height other than the shocks or is that the primary way?

[Casey Peck]

don't forgot the most obvious and overlooked fix, and that's tires. try a harder tire and foam sometimes this is when those terrible spec tires come into play.

Shock collars are for adjusting ride height. Screwing the collars down in an attempt to stiffen the spring is a bad idea. You need to ride height set so the shocks have up and down travel when sitting at rest. Basically arms level in the front. Rear bones to arms level in the rear.

Here is my starting setup for the strike. Give it a try and see if this helps. The kit setup has a lot of roll in it and this could be causing some roll over issues for you if you have lot lots of traction.
