How to limit front wheel spin while turning
 
Hello everyone, long time hobbyist, but with many years of absence from the hobby until recently and how things have changed since my days of rc cats, my last car was the original RC10GT haha. In any case my main question is I have a kyosho neo 3.0 as a cheap starting platform with a red 521S engine and I have been having some annoying trouble with one from wheel spinning like no tomorrow when turning, this has lead to blowing the rubber of tires and its driving me nuts, I'm not sure of they makingocking diffs nor if I would really want that. Any help guys? Thanks

no I the more throttle I give it the more wheel spin I get on the wheel on the inside of the turn

That is because the roll movement of the chassis giving more weight on the outside wheel and less on the inside wheel.

There are things you can do but you can not fully get rid of it. Read some setup books like those from Hudy (google to: Hudy offroad setup book).

Tough question. Car setup, shocks,diffs, tire choice, clutch setup, engine tune, can all play a part in "wheel spin".

Might check into invisible speed as well. It’s a good book. JQ came out with a video series that you can pay for as well if you would like. Look up JQ racing or search for the title.
