Depends on what servo you have. I have a Futaba S9650 and turn down the speed to 75% and have my steering expo at -15. By turning down the servo speed can make the car less twitchy and as Race19s has pointed out, tires will also make the car more drive-able.

Agreed, I've tried some Magentas & liked them(but only when doing a bare minimum of doping, less than 1/3 of the fronts), but I was also using pink rears(it's my go-to rear), if my car is going to be less than perfectly balanced, I prefer it to be more stable. And more often, up front I like Purples, might be worth a try to calm the car down. And about expo, yes, you can use it to initially slow the steering down, but to still get full travel, it will actually speed the servo up toward the end of servo travel. I used to use it a lot, but more recently, I decided to train myself to work with full travel & a Linear expo(in other words, no expo at all, set to be linear as possible), first in Virtual RC Pro, & then started doing it in my real car, & now that I've gotten used to it, I'm liking it that way(& I think it's made me faster as well, relying more on my driving than on an adjustment). Something to think about...

If you have a floating servo mount the savox 1250 is real nice for the price. Has little to no lash as well.

I added a bunch of bodies to the wiki, if ya'll could check it out and see if I missed any post up and let me know!

I have a rough idea of which classes the bodies are for, but didn't put anything in the wiki about it since I wasn't positive. Here are my thoughts, let me know if I have anything wrong!!

BA Bodies:

R8C - Lots of steering, stable rear - Superstock / Stock

Black Market - Stable with precise steering, smooth cornering - Mod

Lola B10 - Less rear down force, lots of rotational response. Precise, smooth, and direct handling - Stock

Toyota TS030 - high down force, straight line stability - Mod


PROTOform bodies:

AMR-12 - high downforce - Mod

BMR-12 - high downforce, more stability than AMR-12 - Mod / Superstock

Strakka - reduced downforce - Superstock / Stock


RSD body - More high speed stability than AMR-12 with more low speed steering - Mod / Superstock / Stock
