I even just installed a gear diff just to try and eliminate any possibilities. Everything is free in the rear new bearing eft. Nothing binding. I have ran other cars with the exact setup and they are much more forgiving. I have also tried different motors ect. I just want to see if anyone else has had issues under braking and what they have found. I run on a extremely high bite clay track. Everyone is running full slicks in clay compound. Thanks in advance. - Tim




Anyone?
Like others have suggested play with the brake adjustments in your esc and transmitter. Dial down the brake strength a little and add some negative exponential. This will make the brakes less sensitive right off neutral. The other thing you can do is add some spacers inside the shocks to limit the up travel. This will reduce the amount of weight transfered off throttle.

It is nothing with the car setup and everything to do with your electronics setup. Plenty of people are running that setup with no issues so it has to be something with your electronics as I mentioned.

Any 2wd car will spin out if you are locking up the rear tires too hard.
False. If he adds some droop limiters less weight will transfer forward off throttle.

Nice. It gives me a glimmer of hope that not everyone on here is a complete idiot who can't even manage to figure out the most simple of things.
