Car Settings Ride Height In general always run the car as low as possible, without the chassis grounding out. A good starting point is 4.5mm front, 5.0mm rear. Ride Height Damping Roll Damping Thicker roll damping oil slows the weight transfer of the rear and makes the car easier to drive on corner entry.

Car Settings Roll Spring Roll springs are used to control the car’s balance. A softer spring will generally give an easier to drive car, however, if too soft, corner entry stability will be compromised. Stiffer roll springs can be used to give a more aggressive steering car.
Car Settings Wheelbase The icon has the option to adjust the front wheelbase by moving the front end assembly. A shorter wheelbase will give the car more steering but will be more unstable, especially at high speed. A longer wheelbase will make the car more stable at high speed but will have less steering in the hairpins.

Car Settings Front Track Width Wider front track width will make the car easier to drive, provide less steering and give a slower response. Narrower front track width will make the car harder to drive, provide more steering and give a faster response. Using the option part U8123 camber strap allows for a track width 6mm narrower when paired with the outer holes on the wishbones.
