Need more steering on my Losi 2.0, whats the best thing to try first?
I was wondering what the most "noticable" adjustments are on a losi 2.0 buggy to play with for more steering, mostly on power? I am running for the most part the adam drake base setup. Thanks! 871

you could try moving your rear hubs forward....and moving the camber link location in a hole on the rear hubs.
and also switching to this setup is a good idea the shock setup is perfect works almost everywhere. http://www.losi.com/ProdInfo/Files/SetupTruhe.pdf |
try limiting your front droop by 1mm.
|
Maybe try adjusting ride height and the sway bars.
|
From the std. Drake/Truhe world's setup:
If you want more consistent and linear steering: Raise the front ride height a little. Drake/Truhe ft. shock collar preload is usually around 8mm; go to 10mm. Reduce front toe out from the +2; down to +1 or even ever so faintly toed in. Creep up on the rear bar preload 1mm at a time after changing the ft. ride height. You should see more consistent/linear steering with the front rd.ht. raised a little, combined with the toe out reduction and slightly stiffer rear bar preload you should find a chunk of usable steering. Also run a a slight rear brake bias and make sure the front won't lock up until you're going really slow on the dirt. |
go to the losi T 2.0 or losi 2.0 thread all the info you need is their also you have a better response. You should list your current setup thus giving a better response hard too tell you what too do if no one knows your current setup. Are you running the stock setup?

Lighter sway...
Try the lighter front sway bar.

chased more steeringin mid corner 4 a long time. on tighter more dry and dusty tracks. found lower camber position on the front tower + front smartdiff to be awsum.run this on all tracks now. just adjust adjust sway bars + centre diff fluid depending on traction
|
Tires would be first wouldn't they?
|
Thanks for the help. So wow, does sway bar thickness really make a big difference?
mblgjr, how do you adjust sway bar preload? Thanks again......871 |

how much runtime on the car or how many gallons on it?

If your front CVDs are worn badly the torque on-power can cause your front wheels to straighten out everytime your turning and apply heavy throttle.
