try moving the batt all the way foward, lighter oil in the diff (loosen ball diff), add weight to the nose, and clean or traction compound the front tires. or try the black ae servo spring. it's a little stiffer than the stock one. if none of this helps, then glue

Just installed the FT titanium front axles after I stripped the threading a little on the stock axles. What a neat little upgrade, instead of holding the wheel on with a locknut, all you do is screw in a button head screw that goes straight into the axle. Plus it's titanium, so you save some weight too

Make sure you lock-tite the screws. I had them loosen up during a race until the screw fell out.

If you can't get the steering you want with these changes then you can stiffen the rear suspension and soften the front so that weight transfer can help front traction. The rear sway bar may help too.

Well, yeah. Nobody said it, but tighten the servo saver all the way down FIRST. It should be way better after you do that.
why didn't I think of that?

NEVER ASSUME guys. right?

What brand servos does the stock steering arm fit. ie. is it a Futaba/JR style?

It should come with servo horns to fit all servos

I'll check my kit, but I believe I only got the one. It was an RTR.

Wet day at the track




And a shot to show the snazzy transponder mount. No shoe goo here, folks! All screwed in from the TOP of the chassis

T-Bird, you need your own thread in the Paint section. Gotta show those pros how to really lay down some paint
