as what razzor suggested, reduce yr steering servo end-points on yr TX or reduce the steering dual-rate on yr TX.

try softening yr rear or stiffening yr front. lay yr rear shocks down more or stand yr front shocks up more.

Not knowing the track you running on is a hard but i run a similar setup but with front roll bar flat/softest. I have teh Mugen rear roll bar but id suggest running the rear roll bar stiffer.
Rear shocks move to 3rd hole from inside and also try taking out roll center shims on rear outer upper mount.

I use the Serpent quick reference guide when i am at the track.
Try it its very usefull for solving hassles and to help learn setup.
You could also download the setup manual for more in depth info on setup and everything that effects it.

Tyres-40 front and rear
Differentials- F-solid axle
R-10000
Shocks- F-tm Blue(6)- 600 cSt oil
R-tm Pink(3)- 600 cSt oil
Front width- 196mm
Rear width-200mm
Camber- F-1Degree
R-4Degrees
Toe- F-0Degrees
R-Toe in-3Degrees
Caster- F-6mm
R-1mm
Cluch- Tm White with little gap and a shim.


There’s no way that this setup wont work on that track , maybe you are to aggressive with your moves like rookies do and you just NEED more practice , I usually use 20000 at the rear and the car push like aeroplane and no 360s no spins .Try to use the front antiroll bars and USE THEM to see how the car handles ,the manufacturer designed the car with this thing on because they have a reason to be there, don’t change any diff oils or suspension oils , change some caster clips put some at the back so the car wont oversteer at every corner exit on full throttle , front camber 1 ,front toe -1 , your rear is FAAAAARR out of the point of use in that track , use 2 for camber and 1,5 for toe , front width 198 , road clearance 8mm with new tires , AND setup your clutch its tooooooo aggressive , try to tension the spring a bit more.

And a tip ‘’don’t try to be a pro without practice and only questioning , you have the car you have the track , USE THEM’’

hey make sure you are running a high amperage regulator or you will get power loss when running these servos
cheers

Hmm.... a question... i think im having a clutch setting problem... my rear will spin out (not 360 about 90 degree) when i on throttle on a big bend and when corner exit. i try to lossen abit the clutch spring tension n make my car rear softer but problem still not solve.

My question is, should i loosen the clutch spring tension more or should i change to a harder spring? what the different between higher clutch spring tension and using of harder clutch spring?

As for the spin at corner exit (once exit i throttle) is it that reduce the caster angle will improve?

Thanks!

When you increase spring tension, clutch will engage later but with a big impact.. if you increase it too much (winding the coils) then it will slip and won't engage fully and overheat (clutch and engine) rapidly..

Hope this helps..

Thanks for reply.

hmm... if i change to harder spring ( does it mean that it will reduce the impact? ) therefore reduce wheel spin?

I would maybe just tighten the spring a little bit and then test it and go from there. Make sure you don't use the throttle like an on/off switch aswell.
