I did't even get into oval racing. Road course or bashing, it's front or rear. Pretty simple. If you are doing oval racing, now, you have 4 corners and 4 different weights. And it all depends on 4 parts of the track. The entrance to turns 1 and 3, the middle of the turn where you are transitioning from brake to throttle, the exit of turns 2 and 4, then the straights. And if 1&3 and 2&4 are different, you are in a whole new setup process.
I will tell you this, I spent a lot (let me get this straight, a LOT LOT LOT LOT) of time and money practicing. Back then I was using brushed motors and I spend hundreds on commutators, brushes, brush cutters (still have one brand new lol), what works best, serrated or cut and so on. Then there is the hours and hours of practice getting just the right setup on the vehicle. It takes a lot on these to get them just right.
Yup, that was a ramble lmao.
