To keep the wheels on the ground during acceleration, go into your ESC program and turn down either punch or limit the current to 50% or less.....or try both till you can come down a straight without the fronts lifting or the rears getting loose. It sounds like you are running on pavement, so it might not matter as much as racing the car.
Today on pavement, for the first time. My brand new front tires lasted 5 minutes (durratrax bandito on roads) due to the wheel lift and ballooning. No matter how much I eased into the speed run I'd always lift the front end up when giving more throne too quickly. I'd run out of pavement to ease into top speed.
Anyways.... Thanks for those tips, I will certainly use them.
I think gearing down will solve most of it and what's left could be solved by finger control but it's just so hard to resist pinning that throttle!
What weight differential oil would help for keeping wheels on the ground, and also aid in on power steering?
Id like to get this thing dialed for an all terrain type setup. Pavement, loose dirt, some grass, and gravel.
Strictly bashing.
