I went away from the southern nats setup, and to stock but with 7/7/5 and pink/red. I had the stock steering, bump, camber, ride height, etc.. it felt a lot better once i turned my radios steering to 70-85%. at 100% i had trouble lining up jumps, keeping it straight, and it was a total handful... but i lowered it down to 70-85% and it didnt have as much turning, but it would jump way better.. now if i could only steer a little sharper, it would be amazing. in order to make some of the really sharp turns i had to whip it a little. I also ordered a new aluminum horn since i switched servos and my old tekno horn was only 24t, needed 25t now. and wow.. i went through 3 composite horns in less than 2 hours... i finally found someone who had a aluminum horn that fit, kinda.. i had to add a bunch of spaces to raise the connector on the ackerman, but it works until i get mine later this week. I couldnt believe that 3 composite horns stripped out that fast though... I did change my servo though, before it was a low torque hitec, and now i have a savox and i switched from 6v to 7.4, and its sooo much better, if it doesn't strip the horns!

overall i love the car, just hope i can get it dialed in better. starting with the stock setup so i can get used to the car, then ill make adjustments from there. ill eventually get better tires for the track too. gotta admit, it is a blast to drive!


ps, how unsafe is it to not run the rear chassis brace? and what would you recommend to having better steering? I like having it reduced on my radio so i am more stable and not twitchy, but i can't really steer sharp enough as easy for some turns with it like that...
