Roll center drives me koo-koo

Okay...

Need 8th scale buggy to turn better on power.
I looked at my hudy sheet, had two people tell me two different things, then tried to read the XB8 manual and got even more confused.

IF i want more on power steering do i raise the inner rear position??

Its so easy to change those settings, why dont you just try going up, down, long, short etc. Try each setting for a few laps and see what you like.

well lowering the camber will raise the RC and free the car up. And raising the camber link will lower the RC and improve handling. Basically it is that in a nut shell.
