TSW and Linearity Question

by ABE » Mon, 15 Apr 2002 21:43:49

I run a linearity setting any where between 15 to 30 %.

Do you guys change wheel calibration (linearity) when you move from track to
track, especially from a short track to a SS?

Could you give me an example of the degree of change you make between
tracks?

What linearity do you run at a short track, such as Martinsville, and what
would be the change when switching to a SS such as Tal?

I am really only interested in linearity as it applies to the TSW.   I know
it differs dramatically from wheel to wheel.

Also, I currently have the ball bearing shaft on the TSW, and while I like
the feel I am thinking of going back to the stock version.  With the ball
bearing version I seem to be have more difficulty controlling the quarter to
half lane drift I seem to have when on the straight-away on SS.  Any
suggestion appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

I use as little as 18 around a road course or short track, to around
25 at mid-size tracks such as Rockingham, to max at 32 for the plate
tracks.

TSW and Linearity Question

by Philste » Tue, 16 Apr 2002 08:46:06

Wow, that low. I use 70% linearity at most tracks and 60% at SS. I then
play with the steering ratios, depending on the tracks.

I have a Stock TSW with ball bearing. I bought a 15" Grant Winston cup
style wheel (separatly) and am pretty happy with it. The ball bearing
shaft does need some getting used to, but I wouldn't go back to my old
setup.

Oops...my bad. I didn't read close enough, and thought Abe was talking
steering ratio, which is what I quoted. I don't generally change my
linear settings. It's set at 20 for all tracks.

TSW and Linearity Question

I was going to say the same thing.   I have mine even higher at 85 - 90%
most of the time on my TSW2 Modified.

Mine is at 20%, same exact wheel as you have...
