I just can't seem to carry the speed through the corners that the fast guys can due to an on power push/ not enough mid corner steering. Just wondering what I might be able to change to try and combat this. Thanks in advance for any help.
I switched to a 3 degree lrc block and raised the transmision 1 mm the way it's explained in Franks blog on the TLR website. It made a big difference in onpower steering. I use to have to roll all the way through a turn. Now I just let off a little. Try it.

Thanks for the input. I got back in to the hobby after a 15 year break. Spent the most of this year trying to get consistent. The consistency is here just need to reduce the lap times now.

Ive found that staying on the throttle through a turn gave me a more consistent turn. I.didn't spin out as much on exit. Ill let off entering but keep some throttle input. So technically it still on power I guess. But getting back on can still be tricky. Depending on traction.

Matt Chambers provided the explanation in this thread:
Front Spindle Location : running spindle higher acts similar to limiting the front shocks, a noticeable increase in mid corner to exit steering
Hope this help!

I agree. Its a thing that can be derived from full scale racing.
Its a simple thing about physics and on / off throttle weight transfer.
The less you come on and off your throttle, the less your car will transfer
Its weight and upset the grip of the outer tyres.

Default Spinning out
Recent changes raised tranny 1mm, standard battery and 3.0 lrc (Chambers set set up). Was at WEST COAST last night, and the car kept over rotating when turning and spinning out. It happened at the end of the straight and 180 turns. First I tried to roll into the turn with no break off gas (no drag break). Didn't work. Then tried to tap the break, only got worse.

I need suggestion to correct.

There can many things, but I would start with tires and maybe a little too much drag brake.

This is a really good start to a high bite carpet setup however all carpet tracks we have here are raced in mid-motor.
