Traction

Post by Scummy »

Hi! I would like to suggest about traction inprovments. For example dounuts, not capable of doing and then power slides, that the bike could go realy sideways and still controllable. Becouse now it feels like the bike is especially in low speed just hoovering, an update for v2.0 maybe. Does anyone have the sam feeling?

changing advanced stability makes a big difference in traction. dunno how technically but it does. fjeldbergs setup feels like it has alot of straight line traction and really goes where the front end is pointing. i like that
if you want i setup that you can really get the bike powersliding and squarin corners i suggest you try tyskorns setup. i dont like it in nationals. otherwise i would use it full time. pretty controllable too. but with his setup you really have to ride over the bars or the front will tuck. once you get the hang of it its sick though.
hope i helped

+1
But I feel that JLV should make it track more on certain spots. Such as on the straight aways, corners, and on the landing on the jumps, not on the face because we still want to slide so we can throw sick whips. :wink:

Where would I find these setups? (< I might be asking a really stupid question)

i like the iudea about donuts!! but I think the bike powerslides fine already. it would be cool if you could pull the front brake in and if going less than 5 kph gas it and it would donut when you steer.(sort of like how the auto align works, but you control it.

The supercross tracks definitely need better traction. You can barely land at and angle without doing a 360 on your side.

Traction has little to do with that. That's the invisible frame dragging...

Take out the frame SHP file and all is better.
