Built and ran my f1 and it was AWESOME! So much more smooth and fast than my touring car, hooked up nicely. The only issue I had was a couple of times the rear end would slide out in a turn, I think I might have been locking up the rear when using brakes?

Was it coming loose, getting into a turn, after a long straightaway?

Yep, sounds like you might have been over braking

You have too much rear droop. Check to make sure that it is between .5 or less than 1 mm of droop in the rear. That should eliminate the problem. Also make sure your steering throw is equal left to right and you have about 1° of toe out in the front.

Thanks for the tips - I am pretty new so I don't have any of the setup stuff to even measure what I have right now. I will run over to the hobby store in the morning to get a droop gauge to see where I am at. I am following this tutorial: http://site.petitrc.com/reglages/xra...dChassisFront/

This should also help. https://lookaside.fbsbx.com/file/new...cCBAYYUUELDDMg


To measure droop, you do not need the droop blocks just the ride height gauge.

I'm assuming you're measuring droop at the rear of the pod?

What servo do you run?
Sorry for the late response, went racing and stuff, lol.
I am running a Spektrum version of the same servo. I had a couple of them laying around and used it.
