well agreed driving style is very important. so the new kit number is #2033 right. i saw the bmi chasis too. damn nice.sumthing very special. but the servo is on vertical side. this doesnt reali lower the c.g. tat is my opinion.not sure it does affect anyhting compare to the kit original chassis.

The servo on the BMI chassis doesnt lower the CG, but overall everything else is lower. The steer servo has advantages as I stated earlier.

didnt read the earlier one u wrote. well seems like the bmi chassis is harden and it make the car more precise. servo wise base on wat u wrote i assume tat it doesnt reduce the steering travel at all, right ? i like the bmi too jus tat this vertical servo is a
thing tat make someone ponder why its place in such a way ?

The steering travel is the same. Jason Briemer (BMI King Pin) said that the upright servo was to stop binding in the steering linkage when running beefier ball cups. I like it because you can adjust the rack for zero slop & run a standard servo saver.

I have a problem maybe you NTC3 gurus can answer. My car seems to understeer really badly, especially on power steering. The throw seems fine so i have ruled that out, so im guessing its suspension related. Im running the Barry Baker setup from the '03 McCoy race since i still have V1 rear. The only difference is that I have no rear sway bar and the front is blade type

With having no rear sway bar, you have a lot of weight transfer in the rear and not so much in the front.

Try running with the blade at '--' full flat position. Otherwise you could make the rear springs firmer, soften the front springs or put a sway bar on the back. You could also try running 1 mm less ride height in the front to increase the weight balance onto the front wheels.

Cheers,

Mike.

I run the 3 shoe with copper springs. I have a centax but it is so small the bearings overheat.

ok, i already run the blade sway bar at ---, so that cant be changed. I run at a ride height of 4 mm, but thats without trued tires (next purchase). I run purple springs in the front and red in the rear, using 70 wt. Im gonna get a sway bar today and try that out. I wonder if i could also tighten my servo saver a bit to stiffen it up a bit and allow a bit more throw.

Purple springs in the front is way too stiff! To increase steering, you'll need softer springs up front. Try red front copper rear, or copper front red rear, and change the 70wt shock oil to 40wt or 50 wt. I tried using 60wt shock oil b4, just couldn't drive it right, meddle with my diff settings and springs, just didn't thought it was the damping, finally changed back to 40wt, and the handling comes back. Never try never know.

With my setup, I run #3 shock pistons with 50wt oil all round. Seems to be ok for my track. I use purple springs up front with shock top mount on the outermost hole. I use red springs on the rear with the top shock mount on the middle hole. I do prefer a bit more understeer though as this suits the way I drive. I also use a front one way.

If I needed more steering I could set the top shock mount at the front to the middle or inner hole or move the rear shock mounting to the inner hole.

Or as has been suggested, move to using a softer front spring.

im slowly but steadily upgrading my rtr tc3 and the front blade is kind of expensive ...would i loose much handling if i went with the sway bar up front like the ones that come in the rear??????

It will still help, but you wont have the adjustability.
