For a long time i had driven the Durango DNX Nitro.
Now i search for a very good brushless buggy with good handling still in standard setup.
The Durango has the problem of a very light rear.
I suspect that even the Tekno has a very light rear to, so control is very difficult.
Is this correct that the rear of the car is not so stable and difficult to tune?
It is horrible for a better hobby racer when you must search many howers at the race for a setup when your car is so comlicated to tune?
Sorry for my bad english and i hope you have some feedback for me.
We have been able to get the rear planted or be loose, depending on driving style, setup, and track conditions. The comparison to Durango isn't completely accurate. Our roll centers and adjustments are all different. Shock positions, shock length, anti-squat, toe, dog bone sweep, dog bone plunge, etc. are all different.
Traction hasn't really been an issue in our setup tuning. Meaning, we've almost always had enough traction. When we first starting testing the car we were having a little trouble with high speed turn-in and high-speed cornering. We had too much traction and the rear wasn't coming around how we wanted. Mind you this was during the very first test sessions. Our setups have obviously improved since then and we now have a good balance.
In any case, to get more traction with our car you would follow the same setup changes as most other cars. More toe, more anti-squat, softer spring/oil, roll center adjustments.
