Default Setup help..

I pretty much have the basics down, i bought a Integy Setup Station, it sat forever, i thought man, i wasted my money.. Well i didn't, i have used it several times now and love it.

I am wondering if there is a link or page that gives trouble shooting info and what to do to fix it..

For example.....

Truck is unstable in the straights = can be caused by X. You can fix it by adjusting X to said parameters..I downloaded the AE Cheat Sheet APP for my droid and it's cool but im wanting something more in depth..

This is where i am really loving the hobby, adjusting and tweaking things to make your RC run better for different conditions..

I have the 'RC Workbench' app by Martin Crisp on my droid. More setup information then I can keep track of! It goes into great detail on what changes can do and what to do. Only downside is the app cost money... don't remember how much though.

+1 on The Guide by JQ. good read and has a nice Quick reference in the back.

Also the Hudy setup book is a good one.

I keep this one in my pit box for 2wd. Very easy to understand.

Well, we been racing all over really, i been wanting to learn the different types of tracks from loose and dry, to hard and high bite to technical ect ect..

I bought my pass for CCRC because it's the closest outdoor track to me and i love that track, im actually in Hamilton. Any track time for me right now is good, im still in the learning phase.

We went to The Factory last weekend, good track but my truck was not setup for that track at all and i hadn't received my pit tools yet! Had a great time though..

We are wanting to venture down to GO FAST soon...
