Can't wait for the vid. Looks like you're gonna do the box-art colors proud.

Hey guys, running the .2 and I am looking for some more on power steering, any suggestions?? I am running the kit setup with 5,5,5 in the diffs, silver springs, 37.5 Losi shock oil in the front and 32.5 Losi oil in the rear. The only real change I have made is moving the rear links up one hole. Any help would be great.

Is there a specific reason you moved that camber link up in the rear? By moving that up you lowered your roll center in the rear at the expense of some steering up front. If you felt like the rear was under control with the link down farther, then I would try putting it back. Also without knowing your whole setup, it's really hard to help you out with anything else.

One thing I've felt the RC8 platform never lacked was steering. Mine actually steers better than my RB5 in my opinion. Post your whole setup and I will see if I can help you more.

I moved my rear links up one because the rear was washing out all the time. Someone suggested it and it helped with that

try going to 7 in the front diff. I'm running 7-7-3 right now on a tight high bite track. Works really well for roating around the slow corners without having to slide the rear end. with the 3k in the rear it will diff out sometimes if I get out of the groove and the 7 up front helps keep it straight without having to let off the gas

Looks good! Which D8 motor did you get? I'm running the 2100...great motor! Also where did you get your sensor wire from? It looks like a motor wire...pretty cool!

It's a great motor! I was running the castle 2200...I don't know why I haven't gone sensored sooner! The 2200 is a great motor as well, but when the track gets loose a sensored motor is the way to go.

JGO is $50 plus shipping. Thunder is roughly the same but I forget, you'd have to contact him.
