Okay daft question, but fairly new to f1. For those that are running stumpy 7.4v lipo's on foams, running on carpet,are you running your battery forward or as far back as you can?

Plastic camber plate position 2
Tamiya hard foams in the front, dia. aprox. 57mm
Tamiya soft foams in the back, dia. aprox. 61mm
Battery in the back but with aprox. 3mm foam spacer for better access to connectrors
Front ride height 4mm, rear ride height 6mm
Car feels very very good!

and they are probably out of stock because of the availibility of the tamiya foam rims
mounting pit tires is not as difficult as it may seem - i was surprised it was way easier then i initially thought

I didn't see any pre-mounts there...just a combo set of wheels and tires with no mention if they are glued or not.

Just received some of the TRG front hubs for the 104... they look awesome. Can be both trailing and inline, and also raise lower the axle, meaning I might be able to acheive a front rideheight lower than 6mm with Ride tyres now, sweet! Bit pricey, but top quality Time to start fiddling this evening

I was able to get down to 4mm with the stock knuckles and could have gone lower if I wanted to.
Those knuckles look really nice...looks like it might lower the ball stud a little bit making getting the right steering angle right without rubbing on the upper or lower arm.

Hey guys, having an issue with my 104Pro... I replaced the rear tyres as the old ones were poked and now the car is handling so so poorly!
I got the same foams again, however this time I glued them rather then doubleside taped them.
Car used to have more understeer then anything which made it easy to throw into corners and no issues with the rear end sliding out.
Now it oversteers a lot! Try to put any power down going round the corner and it ends up facing the wrong way!
I've tried tightening the screw for the t-bar, loosing it right off, slowed the steering right down and the turning angles etc trying to combat this oversteer issue...
I'm running hard front foams and soft rears and they have always been on the money.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get the car closer to understeer?
