On my Futabu it was very easy to make all adjustments.
I run the Losi clutch as Mo suggest in his setup. Will changing to the stock clutch help my situation a little more? I will shorten the wheel base to start with. And I about to leave work and break the whole car down to review if I have the setup correct.
Also if anyone could help guide me on how to adjust the suggested setting on my M12 that would be great. Im going to try to read the manual but I understand better when someone explains something to me.
I use a futaba but you should be able to adjust steering servo speed and steering expo with any good racing radio. If you are new or still not real smooth w the throttle or steering than using negative expo on both is great and may help you with the rear stepping out too. If your motor has TONS of bottom, then start with -20 throttle expo and see if that helps at all. With steering, theres Dual Rate, Servo Speed, and Expo and futaba has a couple others but if I were you I would first try -10 or -15 steering expo, this will make the steering less responsive initially. the best way i can help you visualize this is, imagine you are on the straight and you intend to make only a small adjustment but the car reacts way more than intended, the negative expo will help slow down that initial input. basically if you are a spaz or twitchy or nervous, its like a xanax for steering, itll calm it down a bit haha, no idea if that makes sense to you but the best thing to do is go out and try it. Ive spent hours reading the futaba manual and everytime i read it i find new tricks and ways to help with nitro cars specifically.
