Hi,

I'm brand spankin' new to 12th scale after 16 years in other aspects of surface r/c. Chose the 12r5.2. Initally, I'm having issues with it "stopping" at corner apex and then turning. Very similar to too much front traction. However, I dont have the rear traction issue. I only use 1/2 to 3/4 rear dope. Being that I'm new to the class, I just threw the kitchen sink at it. I ended up with .24 front springs and 0 degrees front upper arm position. 1 degree neg camber. 0-.25 degree front toe out. I also made the front track width as narrow as possible. No shims on axle inside of tire. 3 shims on outside of tire to take up slack. I went with 13# rear side springs and blue center with 17.5wt oil. (bumpy track). I gained 2 tenths instantly. Im still learning roll out and what not but the car is about 25 grams heavy. Any thoughts? I'm using a 1s hobbywing. ko 411 rx, savox servo, fantom 100c 6500 lipo, revtec motor (reedy on the way). Car balances perfect within a gram side x side with no additional weight. but overall its a pig.
