In this riveting episode of AMain Hobbies, the team delves deeper into the Yoko Ms 1.0 Touring Car Series, facing a myriad of challenges that push their skills to the limit. From the get-go, the car's resilience is put to the test as it breaks not once, but twice - a dog bone mishap followed by a hard-hitting encounter with the track's unforgiving barriers. The resilience of the steel out drives is questioned, leading to a bold switch to aluminum counterparts in a bid for enhanced durability. But as fate would have it, a subsequent crash shatters the steering block, proving that the road to perfection is fraught with pitfalls.
Transitioning to a new on-road track layout, the team encounters a peculiar phenomenon - the remnants of off-road buggies' knobbies wreaking havoc on the pristine carpet, unsettling the balance of their finely-tuned machine. Struggling with excessive front steering and unruly rolling, they tinker with dual rates and Expo settings to rein in the beast. Amidst the chaos, a recurring mystery unfolds - missing drive shaft pin protectors plague their efforts, prompting a deep dive into the intricacies of camber, toe, and Caster settings with the aid of a setup station.
Armed with a newfound arsenal of harder front Springs and sway bars, the team embarks on a quest to restore equilibrium to their unruly racer. Shifting the battery back proves to be a game-changer, tipping the scales in favor of stability and control. A chance encounter with a fellow racer yields a game-changing tip - dialing down the dual rates to a mere 40% unleashes a newfound sense of stability and finesse on the track. Despite the setbacks and challenges, the team presses on, fine-tuning their machine with surgical precision, inching closer to the elusive goal of a perfectly balanced and lightning-fast touring car.
