My daughter is running a Badmax, I think a 2011 or 2012. All season she has been running great, running in the top 3 most nights. Today we went to a different track to run a couple of weeks there to end the season. The track was smaller with shorter straights than our usual track, it was a lot flatter track with very little bank to the turns, and it was sandy. Everything coming off of the track was dusty with fine sand, so it was a very slick track. There was a very narrow driving lane where they could get traction.
Here is the numbers she has been running on.
Left 54%
cross 55%
nose 44%
RF camber -2.5
LF camber +.5
front stagger 1 1/4 and rear stagger 3/4 inch.
In the hot laps she was feeling a bad push, so I increased the stagger in the rear and moved the left rear out 1/4 inch, from 3/4 to 1 inch. She was still having a bad push, so I decreased the cross by 2 washers. In the second heat she was feeling a little better, but still pushing bad, enough to throw her off the track a couple of times. So before the feature we lowered the cross by another 3 washers. She said it was handling a lot better, but I could see it was still pushing bad. When she came around the turn in front of the stands I could see her front wheels turned as far as they could turn to the left and could hear her tires squealing. She was able to hold it on the track, but she had to put way too much wheel in it to make it turn. She also was stuck in last place, she just could not make any speed. She is running on a Briggs flathead, turquoise plate on 15 / 68 gears.
She is running Maxxis pinks and blues. For the feature we prepped the front and right rear tires but left the left rear without prep to try to loosen that tire up a little.
