1: I'm fish tailing around a 90 degree turn after a long straight away. Am I entering the turn too fast or do I need to adjust the setup?
2: The front tires are building up clay much faster than the rears. Am I landing too hard on the front?
I'm not sure about problem 1. If its not a set up issue perhaps your on the throttle too hard or maybe you're letting off the throttle too much. Not sure about that one. Lots of variables....if you're using gold compound, what kind of inserts are you using?
Your second problem is normal. The rear tires are under power and throw the clay while the fronts just roll along and collect it as they go. When you jump and you blip the throttle you largely clean the rears off but the fronts don't "spin" quite like the rears.
