Making the usual changes to tighten up the car then makes it worse. Changing the setup towards more steering can actually solve it.

But of course as Paul mentioned, if your rear diff is bound up, that can make it kick out. Also if the rear belt is too tight relative to the front, that can make the rear kick out when you get on power, too.

Would a harder front have the same effect? Instead of a softer rear?
My first time ever driving a 1/12, they're fun

It is his first time driving with a spool. I am sure that is a learning experience for him.

"Just out of curiosity...
Suppose I'm running maximum caster at my front end (all 3 shims to the front) and 5* Blocks.

What would be the difference between:
moving a shim to the rear...
or changing to 10* caster block

I already know the reactive caster allows you to have more in the straights, calming the car, and less in the corner, allowing the car to turn in harder.

I just want to know under what situations would it be better to make static caster changes vs. reactive caster changes."


Cheers.

That reminds me, do you have your old T3'12 base carpet setup laying around somewhere on the internets?
