The more I look at this car and what it is doing, the more I find myself working towards my xxx-s setup. Anyone else who had driven that car find the setups to be similar?

I tried that and I have come to the conclusion that this is a MI2 not a Losi. The Losi was very stable (IMO) and easy to drive but lacked the steering that I was looking for without sacraficing too much rear traction. The MI2 has too much steering for my blood and I had to adjust accordingly. The softer I've run the car the better it has gotten for me while the Losi was run semi stiff. The biggest little difference (if you understand what I just said) that I like about the MI2 over my Losi is that I can take a tighter inside line while keeping my corner speed up.....where the Losi couldn't turn in the way I wanted it to with a tight line and keep the speed up without pushing wide some.

See, for me I am having a problem with the car scrubbing so much corner speed because the chassis is so compliant. I just have noticed that, on carpet with rubber tires, I am getting amazingly close to the setup I had on my Losi and it's getting faster. I also agree that with the Losi the car either was plowing or spinning, where the Mi2 just carves.

Hey Stlnowin,
The Module should get to you anytime now.Went to Santa Cruz yesterday to test the Teemu chassis. What a freakin' difference. I also tested the spool setup Troy sent me and I still prefer the oneway for now. The car was a handful at first,but after a couple tweaks the car in the main{s} was awsome.Have fun this coming weekend and hurry up so we can work to get the dialed setup for the rug already.

we pretty much always ran staggered tire's front to rear on carpet but for a while I ran the same compound all around on the Losi to try and free the car up some. Traction can get pretty high bite on the rug and the last thing you would want is a losi pushing out more. I really love my MI2 and can't wait to run it head to head with the better TC3 driver's in my area since I feel that the TC3 has been the better carpet car for a while. Do you sauce your tire's? We use TQ orange and I sauce full front and rear.
