This is
Identical to what I am experiencing.
I can however say, it is not 'perfect' for me at my track. Our 180's, I am a slug through the corner, in order to drive like a Professional. (term used for reference only) You think raising the rear up a bit and dropping the oil will help power steering? I can try that.
I tune, can tell someone what's wrong by looking at the truck drive as far as shocks, ride height, camber, motor/esc issues, Bench repairs, mods, etc. But I'm sort of at my tuning limit. example: limiting, weight dist., lowering roll center. And it's not that I don't know 'how' to change those, it's "When I should, and why." I'm more of an engineering and repair kinda guy, my tuning knowledge usually came from fixing something. Just looking for the next step to fix this issue. I don't want to hunker down into what i'm used to.
There is no 'good' place to learn the causes and reactions of tuning phsically, only environmentally.(at the track)
1. This is happening.
- This is what is 'really' happening and what changes that and why.
It's on a really feint basis or unless you've just spent so much time in it. I've even turned people down on my knowledge of the level of tuning they are trying to achieve at work being totally honest in saying "I don't know. I don't know 'how' to learn that" and they don't blame me. RC Tuning for dummies?
Anyway. I'll put 7 in the front, and lift up the rear 2-3mm.
Disclaimer: I did not just ask for a tuning class.
