Several months ago I bought Sockets car because I didn't feel like I was getting my setups quite right and I wanted to try his. When the car arrived it was very similar to mine but it had the -2 mm of ackerman. I liked it but It seemed like the -2mm was giving me too much push on initial turn in. I had to brake hard and then pound the throttle for tight corners. I also noticed that I was wearing out front tires 2:1 vs rears which is the opposite of what happened with my Kyosho buggies. Even @ 0mm my fronts wear fast. There's gotta be something to it. Even if the amount of mechanical steering is the same, when you feel it most certainly does change. Which brings me to the OP. If his traction is so so and he needs a little more aggressive steering, why not try 30 degrees of kick up if all else is correct?
