I was finally able to run my E4 in full anger on the weekend... it was very quick but not as stable as I thought it might be... I am also going to have to go in search of on-power steering in faster corners as it is definitly lacking in this area for me.
For the track I was running on it was also VERY softly sprung which caused quite a few headaches as I had limited springs available... I ended up with Tamiya White springs on the front, Tamiya blue on the rear and I feel it could still go harder.
Also, as the tires got hotter (Sorex 36R... the track kills tires) the car started to really try and "hook" into corners, in particular the 2 slow left hand corners on the track... I am not sure what that is a sign of... someone at the time suggested the car might be slightly tweaked but I checked that and that doesn't appear to be the case... any suggestions?

Sounds like you need stiffer sway bars all round on the car. Also like you said stiffer springs too, but i would try the bars first.
Tweak in the car is almost 100% perfect, in high grip conditions you may notice a difference due to more flex to one side from the extra grip. If the grip is high i would suggest the new centre brace.
Brace will be available in OZ by the end of this week. Bars are a little furter away.

Well I've always been an individual :P
Yes its got PLENTY of steering... especially turning into corners and where there are quick direction changes needed... it was the quickest car through the twisty sections of the track on the weekend bar none....
But I am finding, on the track surfaces I am running on, that I could use more so I can get back on the throttle a bit earlier and hold tighter lines coming out of certain corners.
I won't get to run it again now until after new years so I can wait for the new bits... will get my lhs to order them after xmas.
One thing I would like to see just because I think like this, is I'd like to see that little plastic bit that locks the front diff made available separately... seems like a possible weak link to me

In addition to what Ari has suggested, if you are running the kit setting, maybe remove some of the front toe out, I took mine to 0 degree toe out from kit settings because it was so sensitive on initial steering. Generally, less toe out helps with steering on power and in longer radius corners.

The Team Magic sponsored Sydney Grand Prix was run and won on the weekend.
Jake Zarb TQed and won the first two main finals with his E4, first race meeting first win.
Jakes E4 was basically out of the box except for the Motor Heatsink and Alum. Centre Brace.
Will have a setup for you all soon.

Ari
