Quote: I'm running Caltracs in a 11.0 foot brake car. When setting up the Caltracs, they are preloaded against the spring about 1/4 turn. When foot braking, bringing the rpm up, "preloading" the chassis, doesn't that negate anything the Caltrac preload is doing? Don't the Caltracs get preloaded when it's footbraked with rpm's? I know what I'm trying to ask, I just hope the question acually makes sense.
The harder you are up against the convertor the more the preload on the chassis ( diff nose goes up, driving the Caltrac bars forward and the cross pin in to the spring ). I believe they recommend 2 flats of preload to start with - cross bar touching leaf + 2 flats on the bars. Thats what I have been running, but this Saturday I am going to try 0 preload on the bars ( or might even go a little loose ) to see what happens. I'm hoping to get the car to sit down in the back a little more for some improved weight transfer .
