Ride height is a critical area when setting up your chassis. Too low a ride height could cause the car to bottom out. This will not only upset the chassis on the track, it can caused damage by creating a hole in the tubing.
A higher REAR ride height, will create more drag on the straight-aways, but will help the rear stick in the corners.
The higher the R/F ride height the tighter the car will be. Tightness means the front-end will plow or push in the turns.
A higher L/F will tighten the chassis. A higher R/R will tighten the chassis also.
A higher L/R will loosen the chassis. In other words, the rear of the car wants to sweep out or come around in a spin.
A higher L/R lowers the R/F. This may cause the R/F of the chassis to drag. A higher R/F lowers the L/R. This may cause the L/R of the chassis to drag.
