How to get more low speed turning
So took my Kyosho SC-R out to the track today for its first run. It jumped great, but low speed turning was a little too wide. What can I do to create better low speed turning? I am running -1 camber on front and back right now and about 1 degree toe out

Im working on this also...
Find a good line to follow, and the turn that you are taking now you need to set up for the next turn
another way is you need to set up the turn before you even get there
I get so upset about low speed switch backs i end up slamming gas, pulling brake and turning wheel followed by more slamming gas to "drift" it - not always consistent with clay though

A couple things in question...
1) what tires are you running, and are they correct ones for your track?
2) is the car running the correct suspension set up?
3) are you coming into the low speed turn correctly (steering in to late? entering the corner from the inside lane?).
90% of the time a car with a true low speed push will have a high speed push no matter what..

I don't know if there was any mid production update in any of the steering parts, but my old UltimaSC RTR had a lock to lock issue in the hubs/rack if I recall.
The more toe-in I run the more I can get the outside tire to turn in.
The other fix is to re-grind a few of the steering rack parts.
I think my EPA is over 105 to 110% on the stock servo horn.
Front caster set for 25deg not 30
Softer front (careful on high speed stability)
Stiffer rear
Proper tires #1 of course.

And speed is you best friend upon entery of the corner. You can also try the EXPO setting if your controller has it. I set mine at a -neg 10 so it turn's faster at the begining. Allowing me to correct any over steer/push that may occur from high speed entereing to the corner.
Just in my experience and driving style, as track condition's and driving style always have the biggest influence.
