Pointy71: Are the tires you using the hot ticket on your track?

When you say you are using 95% of the setup, is that including linkage positions from Maifields setup, the one here:

If so on the rear, I personally would lengthen your rear turnbuckle to at least the middle hole on the hub carrier. I actually ran it full length for the conditions out here but middle on the hub since you say you have medium traction may work for you.

I would also try 1 setting lighter on the sway bars front and rear.

Usually with newbies we would configure there vehicle with more toe-in (almost excessively so) so it would track straighter down the, well, straights.

Here is what the Hudy offroad book says about Front Toe settings:

FRONT TOE
Increasing (more toe-in) • Makes car easier to drive

Decreasing
(less toe-in, or more
toe-out)
• Decreases understeer
• Increases steering at corner entry
• Faster steering response
• Less stable under acceleration
• Makes car more diffi cult to drive

I would think as you accelerate down the straight, you would want it to be more stable which according to the manual is opposite of what you would see by adding in toe out.
