Hot Bodies Cyclone

Hi Guys! I have been converted from 1/8th Truggy nitro to 1/10th on road with the Cyclone TC with a certain amount of success and loving it. My Dad is tearing his hair out (he dosen't have much to start with) trying to set up the steering curve, as the car is very sensitive and twitchy. We have tried all different settings but it would appear to not be working. Have reset the VR etc etc. We have spoken to other Helios users and they say they are experiencing the same problem. I also have my Dad's KO PROPO Mars 2000R limited edition (#0169) which works fine, although my hands are too big for it. I am using the Spektrum 2.4 Module and Receiver. Can anybody using this system please help with settings as here in the UK the main distributor is in the process of changing from Horizon Hobby to RC-Disco so it will take time to get the required info. Please HELP!!
that's what I usually do when I have a car that's just a little too twitchy
Actually pretty much all my cars I start with -5% curve and adjust from there

Hi all;
I have a Cyclone, and i have a question.
¿What is the difference between the diferent FF suspension blocks ?
More open (2,5º) ¿more stering? ¿fast response?
Less open (1.0º) ¿less stering? ¿low response?
Thanks

Thanks for swift reply, we have tried everything from -5 to -90 but it doesn't appear to make any difference.

remember, an Electric TC is mucho lighter than a truggy, so if you got a SUPER high speed/high torque servo, that might be causing some issue..
usually electric TC needs about .10ish speed and about 100oz toqrue
I'd try a different receiver, crystal (if you're still using them), and/or a servo and see what happens

I run with Helios, few years without problems, with Futaba and KO diferents servos, Fet, Digitals, Analog. But always, i need to put the rear button to N,in F, some servos, even they cost to find the center.

did you try a different servo and/or receiver??

usually electric TC needs about .10ish speed and about 100oz toqrue
I'd try a different receiver, crystal (if you're still using them), and/or a servo and see what happens

Luic; I will reset the 'N' from 'F' and try, thanks.

YEah, I'd follow what luic suggested...I vaguely remember something about the spektrum having 'issues' with being in a high response - but I think the Spektrum Pro modules work fine...
