thanks for all the replies guys... i really appreciate them... well, err the brake pad came off a bit loose n the diff oil was suppose to be 30,000 but my frens said that it has became to thin (i don't know y) but i've replace with 40,000 now... the rest of the pulleys r default with no OD n tyres... ok, i'll get a new set to try again tommorow... i'm running 37 front n rear... matrix... yes i'm running front cvd (it came with the kit) n front solid one way... i'm running much softer tyres n front solid to avoid getting into accident... still learning... i'll set it up to all default setting with new tyres n try again later... thanks...

I don't think going to a thicker oil will help, but definitely fixing the break pads should. You may also want to try harder compound in the front (i.e. 37 rears, 40 fronts) to make the car push a little bit and make it a little bit more stable and easier to drive. Good luck and keep us posted.

I just wanted to take the time to thank Serpent-USA for the fine products that they supply. This weekend we had our state race and my car was great. There was good traction and normal tire wear. I was able to take the win with my 720. The car was great all weekend and it really showed in the main. For those of you in need of a good set-up for the Winternats let me know and I will be glad to help.

i just thought your front toe out is way too much.. i never had more than 1 deg. have u check your tyre split differences?

s10dude

i have used 2 deg. before , but on very rare occasions.....very tight track...

have you checked ur "droop" setting??? you might be limiting your weight transfer & not even realize it...

just a thought....

Give this a try when you get a chance......

1 degree toe out front

45degree front roll bar

40 fronts 37 rears (0.5mm split i.e. 60mm front, 60.5mm rear)

yellow front springs, red rear springs

35wt all around but 2 hole piston front, 3 hole piston rear

5mm front & 5.5mm rear ride height

rear diff 20k

stratus 3.1 body and if you don't have wing rules, cut the wing 1mm above the cutting line when you prep the body. when mounting the body on the car, make sure it's not too forward.

what radio and servos are you using?
do you have a picture of the track?
