Do you need more steering? on power or off power?

It works awesome if users who post repetitive stuff annoy you, or for getting rid of trolls, or the insane, or whatever.

Thanks, that'll improve the experience here alot.

I have too much steering off power and on power. But if you put a gun to my head and make me pick one I would rather get steering out on power.

Was just thinking up a hypothetical reason for those having an issue in that race clearing the monstrous high speed triple, and those that have flight pitch control issues. Is it plausable to consider that the chassis brace or even exotek chassis may stiffen up the chassis to the point of contributing to the bad flight charachteristics compared to other vehicles?I held the vehicle and accelerated with the brace on and stabbed the throttle, than did the same without brace. It seems that the downforce and torsional pull is stronger without the brace?Just something to think of..

Oh so you want less steering.

What's your diff fluids? The easiest way to calm down steering is to throw a negative curve in your radio on the steering. I think I'm at -20% on my KO, but I'm also running a stupid fast servo.

Going really heavy up front (like 30k) will help a lot.

I don't think it's that. I think it's a weight/inertia thing. The truck is lighter, a lot lighter, so is more susceptible to the parachuting effect. A lot more so than with the Losi.

I'm going to a race next weekend that usually has a few good sized jumps, we'll see how it goes. I'll be going with a new body that I'm going to vent really aggressively. More so than any of the bodies I had on my Losi previously.

I also have the Exotek now and am going to add even more weight (probably about 4-6oz) and corner balance the truck.

I'll report back, but it's a bit away.

I am running 30/5 on the diffs. What setting is that under on the radio? I have the Airtronics MX-3X.

I'm not familiar with the Airtronics but I think it's expo on those radios. Try like -15 or -20%.

It's easy to mess with while you are on the stand. Make changes in -5% increments then drive a bit, change it again, drive a bit, etc.

That's what I do, depending on the track I may run more or less curve.

Ok, I will look in my book to find it and give it a try. Thanks for the help!!!

From what I can see from the manual, yes.

Out of curiosity, has anyone tried driving the truck without the body to see how it acts? Sounds silly I know, but it would answer a lot of questions.

use the D/R function to dial out steering. Try aroun 80%

Yes, and the truck feels so different. Almost like a 1/10 4wd buggy.
