Yeah...I tried different degrees of sweep in the car this past weekend, and it did add more steering. I tried a 0/3 block sweep, a 1/3 block sweep and a 1/2 block sweep in the front. The 0/3 had the most steering, but I liked the feel better of the 1/2 block combo.

I think this coming summer I will get an 811e and try offroad again. I always liked the design of the serpent 811 with the batteries being on either side of the car keeping the CG very low compared to some other models out there.

I am glad to hear you are using the app for offroad chassis tuning. The concepts should apply for the most part. I really do need to create an off-road version eventually, to add offroad specific setup info around things like tire and insert choice etc.

Cheers.
