I ran the torment at my lhs indoor carpet offroad track yesterday for my first race. It was the open/novice class. I know the torment is not as good as the other trucks, but figured I'll try it out to see how it does. Running it stock, except for adjustable turnbuckles, it seamed to have a ton of oversteer and had a hard time getting it make the sharp turns. I know it has a higher center of gravity then the onther trucks. Is this why is does not handle well? Is there anything I could do to it to make it turn/handle better. I know getting a better truck would make the best upgrade, but not really in the budget. I don't mind upgrading it, but juist wonder if it will actually make it any better.(I know more track time will help, but know the truck can only run so good)Thanks for advice.

Changing the diff grease to a lighter diff oil will help. Tires will be your best investment and biggest improvement.

Correction, I ment it has a ton of understeer

a good servo will help with the steering too...plus you can always keep it for future trucks!

Yea the servo is painfully slow in stock ECX trucks. Upgrade that and get some decent tires for the surface you are running on.

Props to you for trying out a entry level hobby grade RC and racing it too!

nice thing about a good servo is you keep it, year after year car after car. I have a 20year old servo in a new car, works great.

my lhs/indoor carpet track has torments for rentals and it's the same thing as what you're dealing with. I think it's a mix between the tires, pillow soft suspension and the super slow servo.

Thanks guys. Is there a certain servo I should look for or will any high speed/torque do the job.

130+ oz of tq and .14 speed or faster at a price you can afford
