Instructions on epa/dual rate for a 28mm foam TC
I am getting confused here...Is the correct order:
1. Set Dual Rate to maximum
2. Set steering trims until car drives straight
2. Set EPA for left and right turns
3. Do "circles" test to ensure that the steering is the same to the left and right.
My issue is with step 3. My XXX-S has a one foot wider turning radius on left turn circles than right hand circles. If I increase the EPA to correct this, the wheels cuts through the shocks lower eyelid mount.
Thanks for your help.

- Adjust trim so your car goes straight.
- Adjust Dual rates to 100%.
- Adjust Epa so that you have an equal radius turn each way(on the track). As much throw as possible(no binding though).
- Adjust dual rates down to what you like.
- Check L and R turning radius on the track.

With the xxx-s, you need thick hex hubs for 28mm wheels. You can use either the AE graphite ones or the AE FT clamping ones. They are a good bit thicker and will give you alot more clearance between the shock eyelets and rims.
The problem with unequal steering on the xxx-s is the result of poor design. Look at the draglink. See how the ballstud on the drag link is way off to the left side?(looking from the rear diffcase). I corrected this by finding the dead center of the draglink and drilling another hole there. I put the ballstud in that hole and installed a long-style ballcup used for camber in offroaders, and a standard RPM short ballcup on the stock tierod. Works great, I get perfectly even steering. I have heard of some people putting the ballstud in the right hole(again, looking from the back of the car).
Make sure to check your tweak also.
Hope this helps.
