Hi, I enjoy your videos and Iv studied them over and over so I can really understand what we are trying to achieve when it comes to setup, but I have one problem with this video and explanation! It's the camber gain. Now I understand displacing the chassis makes all 4 wheels produce camber gain or what's called camber intake, but when your tuning with the upper camber links is the main priority that the outside wheel under lateral G doesn't go into positive camber? Because if so we should be calling this camber loss under later G. We reduce the amount of camber loss by making the upper link more inclined or the link shorter. In your demo with truggy you inclined the upper link more to reduce camber loss. Am I right or completely wrong. Thanks
Under normal conditions you do not want to go into the +ve camber range. If you go there less grip will be the reward.If you want to simplify the terminology then lets just talk about camber change versus roll. So the more parallel the upper and lower arms are the more the tire camber will change as the chassis rolls. The greater the difference in the angle between the upper and lower arms the less the camber will change as the chassis rolls. By increasing the length of the upper (camber) link you will get more camber change as the chassis rolls as you are reducing the difference in the angle between the upper and lower arms.You are 100% correct in what you are saying we are just using different terminology.
