In the tool Hudy set up, it comes marked up to 30 degrees, but maybe the car works better with fewer degrees...
Thanks.
Turn Left: outside tire 24 degree, inside 19 degree, EPA 105
Turn Right: same as above, EPA 100

In other scales the maximum draft adjusts to 20-22 degrees, but in this scale it seems to me to be very small.
Thanks.
Not really, if so, your setup problem. Mine got outside tire 24 degree,inside 19. I normally adjust the steering to max turning angle. Adjust the rear roll centre, track width, spring ... can help to get rid of oversteering.

TL: 30 Degree outside / 21 inside
TR: 30 Degree outside / 21 inside
(max steering on radio 100%). too much? to less? I don't know...

It is also interesting how much you fix preload of the spring the front servo saver. Personally 1.5mm i think is a good choce.

it don't have the actual answer,it mostly depends on few factor,driving style,tyre hardness,track's traction,chassis setting and etc....

This gives a good idea.

I run mine pretty much bone stock. All the upgrades you need are in the WC kit already. I don't use all alu pulleys as they are heavier than the stock pulleys except for one, the middle centre pulley. The rest are standard. The only other upgrade have have is the delrin shock pistons and shaft guides.

Cool. Glad you enjoyed it! Wow traction roll on an 1/8th car! Get the weight forward that helps a lot.

Ah ok that makes sense. I've been to that track for the 1/10th IC worlds and electric touring car TITC 2013 and so I know exactly what you are talking about. I've never experienced traction like that.
