No forward bite — spins up, won't drive off the corner
On acceleration the rear just spins instead of driving the car forward.
💡 The idea: Plant the rear under power.
Try these in order
Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.
-
1
Increase anti-squat
Makes the rear squat and dig in when you get on the throttle.
-
2
Thicker rear diff fluid
Meters power to the rear tires more smoothly.
-
3
More rear droop
Lets the rear tires stay planted over the bumps under drive.
-
4
Softer rear tire / fresh compound
Mechanical grip where it counts.
-
5
Shift weight rearward
More static load on the driven wheels.
