With some great help from Dave Bristol and Mark Headling, i finally got my 503 working on high grip carpet.
Car was initially very unstable, with so much front traction, and very little rear.
So back to the drawing board, and we came up with this set up.
Its still not perfect, still some slight front inside wheel lift on corner entry, but a stiffer front ARB and adding some droop may help this.
One huge improvement was using a shorter rear link, really helped stop the rear of the car rolling in an excessive manner and going to 20K diff oil in the front, was originally 10K at either end.
I did this meeting on front slicks, that were made from Yellow minipins, first run on additive, which was very good, but i think if you went this route, id apply every run as it was starting to push a lot by the later rounds.
Next time out ill try some tweaks, and do some runs on 4wd staggers, but overall the car was very stable, and very quick.

Just to note, i used the outer most hole on the rear arm, and, im running the Fibrelyte carbon chassis and 2.5mm decks.

Thanks to Dave and Mark, and a few other nice fellas, I now have something to start with on high grip.
