Scott, how can i eliminate the push on my car when exiting a turn? I'm using A ackerman, 0 mm droop in front, 400 wt shock oil with 1.3 x 1 piston,1 deg toe out, stock shock position up front. 5mm rear droop, shock position 1 hole higher,2 deg toe in, 30k diff oil. 5mm front ride height and 6 mm rear ride height.purple springs all around. Using 40 shore tires.

he's already using this diff setting..........
i'd try front spool..........
reduce front droop (+2mm should be ok)
move some caster clips forward......

what side pully are you running ? if you are running 24t then give about 3mm splits between the front and back, it should give you little better turn ins.

Maybe 10k rear diff... would help...

You could try reducing the front droop, or adding some front caster, but I would try reducing the rear toe in first. Try going to 1.5 or less per side. If you start spinning out, then look elsewhere but it might give you just what you need. If you notice no changes, then at least you will pick up a little bit of straightaway speed.

Now I've read somewhere that if you run the 25 tooth pulley on the side, you don't have to run a split. If thats the case, then you could consider the roll-out distance and all that other stuff and just cut all four tires to 63 MM or whatever. Also, its my understanding that running a split helps with on-power stearing in the corners since the front tires are spinning faster than the rear tires at an angle.

running 25t will give you close to 1:1 ratio so you dont have to run splits for front and rear not to mention your tires will wear evenly.

to anyone out there:
I recently purchased an MTX-4 and I wanted opinions on the cars performance and quality, especially in relationship to the MTX-3 and Team Magic G4. Are there any quirks about the car which most owners have a problem with? If so, what are your solutions? Are there any option parts that are absolutely necessary to be competative?
