Not so much not enough steering. More like to much push. If I'm not on power swinging the rear around it's just a real wide turn. But I'm working on it lol. Just got universals and hoping it lets the front dig in more on a turn.

I tried that. To me honestly it feels like it bites in harder with a longer link. The short link felt like it pushed more.

If you need detailed pictures or instructions of the best way to install these just pm me I've put about 6 of these in a Tekno chassis at some point and know how to route everything now. The XR8 is far easier to fit though because of where the wires exit the case.

Longer front link will make the roll center lower as the car leans in the turn which will make the front dig more than the rear and therefore transfer weight to the front of the car.
The reverse is true for the rear. A shorter rear will also make the front dig more.
It only then depends if you you rather prefer a responsive car in mid corner (shorter rear) of a bit smoother mid corner responsiveness (longer front). All of which shouldn't alter how the car behaves in entry and exit corner.

I just bought this kit. I'm a news to rc Buggys. What kind of grease should I use when I build it? Will any kind work? (I have a tri flow grease that I use for my helis. I'm not sure if that will work though.)Also what size battery would be good? I'm still trying to decide on the motor and esc right now. I'm also trying to decide on a radio system too.
Thanks

I'm interested in this kit but I am increasingly worried about having fitment issues with my Hobbywing Xerun 150a.

Shortening the front link makes the car more stable. Sweepers, off-power, on power, etc. It will land better as well. We have been moving to a shorter front link lately and the results have been great.
Theoretically it gives you less initial steering but more on power steering. What we have found is less twitch and the rear follows the front better around and out of corners.
Start with the front link short (shortest on hub, shortest on tower, middle on tower). Tune the steering with the rear end:
thicker sway bar (more steering everywhere)
more rear toe (more entry steering)
less rear toe (more stability entering, but more steering out of the corner)

Most guys run around a 5000 4s pack. That will get you 10 to 15 minutes run time which is more than enough for racing.
Motor and esc depend on your budget. Hobbywing sct pro and smc 1900 motor work great and you can get both for about $150. Or tekin rx8 gen2/1900 combo is around $300. There are other options like lrp but those are the most popular. The new hobbywing xr8 plus is getting popular but the price is close to an rx8. That paired with an smc motor would be about $230 which is in the middle price wise.
When recommending a radio I always tell people to buy what fits their hand the best. Some radios are bigger than others so get what feels good to you. Airtronics, Futaba and Spektrum are most popular. Any of their radios that aren't entry level will have more than enough features. I personally run the Airtronics MT4 and love it, but have ran Futaba, Spektrum and KO with no complaints.

Thanks for the replies. I'm supposed to get the kit next week.

Is there a battery manufacturer that you could recommend? Like reedy glacier, etc. What discharge like 30c or 45c?
#585
SMC are pretty good. I've also had good luck with my Reedy and Eco power batteries.
