Just something easy to try. It was pretty huge on my high bite track.
What trail? Removing washers at 4mm trail calms down entry steering.

Well that's the beauty of selection. I personally don't like that body at all, but, that's why I wont buy it no matter what paint is on it. I'm just glad there is more than one to choose from.

Front: 2 hole 1.6 32.5 wt white spring 2mms under b.s inside on c hub 4mms trail 25` kick up plate 5' insert hub ride height 24 outside mount on arm middle on tower.

Rear: 2 hole 1.6 30 wt white spring camber block low with 1mms under b.s aluminum hub inside back hole 2mms 3-2 toe antisquat inside mount on arm middle tower hubs middle 24ride height.

Tires are phenomenal so I know that's not it. It's got good grip just no mid to exit steering.

The first thing to try is to maybe go to 3/2 in the rear instead of 3/1... and take out a tiny bit of droop from the front end. This will help keep weight on the front tires under throttle, which will give you more steering mid to exit. A longer wheel base will also help.

Did you mean 3/1 instead of 3/2?

He said 3-2.



Skeeter, how tight is your diff? I would run it standard, and go to 1mm washer in the front. Have you tried moving the battery up to 2 thins in the rear?

3 on trailing axle for more steering with Ackerman adjustment would help.

Skeeter, your front end seems fine. Perhaps its time to free up the rear. Easiest things to try, move spring lower mount to outer hole. Add some height to outer link.

Hi,

How does the car drive for you?

Looking at your set-up I would change the following:

Lower ride height, I'm running on a small indoor astro track, small jumps, rumble strips under the astro. Ride height is 19mm front and rear.

A gear diff would be worth trying.

2.5 deg toe on the rear if you need to free up the rear end.

Mid motor 3 gear would also be the way to go.
