Reset it for each track, especially with a Tekin. It only takes a moment.

That said, my brake strength doesn't vary much. I run around 40% and try to decrease the EPA no more than 10%. If I have to go below 90 or above 100, then it's time to readjust brake strength on the ESC.

I'll give it a try...
Are you running 223 software? What is your min brake level set at?

Either way, I would try the trailing before you do any other changes. Don't take my word for it either, click on "search this thread" and look for yourself :P

I lost 80% of my total steering running the in-lines with the +8...

I might install them tonight ( broke a caster block last night) so the front end will be apart and test them out tomorrow night. Last time I used them I hated them I lost most my steering everywhere. BUT the buggy was not dialed like it is now

Older v203? version. 'Been awhile since I've had Hotwire up on this ecs.

No problem dialing in or out brake strength through the radio (Ko Eurus), just dialing anymore brake in upsets the car...

You definitely want to update to the new 223 software, much smoother throttle and brake.

Default Retro fitting bodies

I am interested to know which of the past rc10 bodies will fit the b4 chassis.
In particular the B2 body or the viper body.

Anyone try this?

cool, don't forget, you have been tuning your suspension for the inlines so you may have to change things up

Yeah, that's the way mine is now. Don't know if the loss of traction is because of my setup or not. Ran a 22 last year and was able to dial in quite a bit more brake than this new buggy.

Where did you hear the Avid rack causes problems? I have read several threads about people having problems with Savox servos. I would start there first. I bought a 1257 and altough it did the job, it was very noisy, and caused problems with my other electronics. I installed a Futaba 351bls with the Avid rack since day one, and have not had any issues what so ever.
