Schumacher Corner
So that would be why Teemu, had the arms mounted further out at the Euro's? Because the offset on the HPI hubs is different to stock?

Do you have any anti squat in the car? If not that's usually the first thing I do if I need the car to square up more coming out. Add a 1mm shim under the front suspension mount for the rear arms. That and move the rear arms back.
Tech Master
I would try moving the rear arms back, and or Less caster up front. That will give you a touch more turn in, but less steering mid corner. I have used this when my car has been as you describe.

bob33....When you raised the car's ride height, did you reset the droop, camber etc etc??

When you raised the ride height did you adjust your droop. By raising your ride height you lost 1mm droop on each end of the car. In the UK guys run thier with quite a bit of droop to let the car roll more on low bite tracks.

i have the 1mm spacer under the front pivot on the front, and 1mm spacer on the rear pivot block on the rear of the car. i got told to do this by some 1 at the track. bob

I'm gonna pick up an MI2 pretty soon here. For running on rubber tires/indoor asphalt, could you guys give me a short list of any optional parts I'll need to pick up at the same time?
Sorry if this has been asked a million times before, but what better way to keep the thread near the top?

By having the spacer under the rear pivot block in the back that gives you pro squat which can make the car very hard to drive and loose coming off. Plus having the Kick up in the front by raising the front pivot block up 1mm essentially adds caster to the car which can give it a lot of (probably too much) mid corner steering. That should give you a better place to start from at least.
