Hi guys

I am having a setup issue here.......

took my RR on a test drive to a parking lot and this is what i faced......

when i turn left and give power the car sort of stops turning. I think its called push......as it skids away

when i turn right the rear tires skid and i think its over steer..

Can this be possible to have understeer at one side and over steer at the other side......

What diff oils is the best for a sandy track ? 10k frt and 5k rear ? or something else ?

How is the parking lot surface? is it dusty? I would take it to a local track to fine tune it. I would never try to set up the suspension anywhere but on a track.
Are you using the set up that came with the kit? Mine was perfect this weekend with that set up.

3434, I gave you their phone number did you call them?

I spoke to Terrance about you and he told me something like what you wanted was out of stock and you would not read what he responded but just kept sending him email saying the same thing.

I am not saying I know what happend or making a judgement either way, but I think you should take this up with them directly or start another thread instead of using this forum as a venue of your furstration.

Yes I will. I will go look for them as well as the front carbon shock towers for the RR tomorrow.

Default RC Model HK

Hi guys, just got back from an afternoon of shopping in Hong Kong. I stopped by RC Model HK and told them about all the problems I hear online. They tell me that they have been slow to clear the orders due to the new year holiday in Japan and subsequent Chinese new year for Hong Kong and Taiwan. Terrance hopes to clear the back log this week, but they are at their suppliers' mercy as things are coming in rather slowly.

I've bought from them on the phone, in the store, many many times and they alway have great price and reliable services.

This is the last post I will make on this subject on this thread. If you have problems with them I'd be happy to help by giving you their phone/fax number and you can contact them directly. They speak English fine so don't worry about calling them. I am just too a customer and I've had good experience there and am just trying to help.
