What we don't know is how you are driving it. You can't go into a sharp turn still be on the gas. I can with the short course SC8 but thats a whole different animal
I've tried kinds of different ways to get it to turn. Even if I almost come to a complete stop it still seems to be way behind how the losi turns. The only way I have been able to get my to turn even decently is to brake hard coming in, and then tap the brakes quickly right when I start to turn.

It's almost like I have to pump the brakes to get it to come around at all.

I'm making some changes to my car right now, and going by a setup shane racer said to use after I got the big bores on. Next time I go to the track I'm going to really try and use my buddys setup tools to get mine better. I haven't bought any setup gauges yet at all. I've been busy buying shocks, parts, and engines and have kind of drained myself for awhile. I think me and a friend might go in on one of the setup stations. Are those worth getting?

One thing I don't understand at all is droop and how it effects the car.
