What is the XXX MAIN TOURING CAR CHASSIS SETUP GUIDE and why is it important to you.??

This book is very well written and even seasoned racers can benifit from it.. It goes into great details about how adjusting certain tuning abilities of your car can effect the handling and why..

Do you find that your car is loose on-power coming out of a corner??..Not sure what to do about it?? After reading this book you will be repeatedly instructed on weight transfer and how changing the characteristics of your cars set-up effects weight transfer..You will learn that your cars handling is all about weight transfer.

I understood that softening/hardening the suspension in one end of the car directly effects the traction of that end of the car..Softer meant more traction and harder meant less traction.. What I didn't quite understand was why...After you read this book from beginning to end you will know exactly why and knowing why goes a long way to understanding what changes to make and when..

This book is a fairly recent publication and I've now added a copy to my pit box for quick reference..The one thing I noticed at my last race was that there is a new "catch phrase" floating around..You wouldn't believe how many times I heard "weight transfer" being mentioned in the pits.. And that is directly linked to this book..Everybody is getting a whole new sense of what their cars are all about and it shows at the track..

It comes with a handy little quick reference guide on the last page..No need to read through its 62 pages for that quick answer you need..But be sure to read each and every word when you first get it..Understanding the concepts of weight transfer is everything and it is mentioned repeatedly throughout the book..If you remember one thing it will be the phrase "weight transfer" and what it means..

Nobody says it better than Martin Crisp himself:

Have you ever wanted to better understand why your car is handling the way it is and more importantly make it handle the way you want it to?
Have you ever wondered how to set-up a car for different tracks?
Have you ever wondered why your car oversteers one way and understeers the other?Have you ever wondered what oversteer and understeer means?
Have you ever wondered why they put so many holes in shock towers for the shocks and links?
Have you ever wondered what roll center is and why should you care?
Have you ever wanted to drive faster?

If you answered yes to any of these question then this guide is for you(Martin Crisp)

Final Thought??

I don't hesitate to recommend this book to everyone..I borrowed my fellow R/C Ontario Racing Teammate's copy for my first read and immediately went looking for XXX Main for my own copy..My only regret after reading this book is that most of my fellow racers are getting the same info I am..There goes my edge..Get the book and you will see a difference at the track..
