Yup I'm sticking with this car now, although I sometimes find myself dreaming over the Yokomo SD and now the HPI 4. The problem with the EVO3 diffs is just a big putdown.
I think I've got a pretty good setup now with Yellow Front/Red rear. This suits my bumpy track just fine. I did not get to test Blue Front/ Yellow rear last saturday since I wrecked my left front knuckle too early.
I got the car at 50/50 front/rear weight distribution. I dropped the aluminum servo mounts and steering arms to save weight...
Now to get back to the topic.
I drop to 50% throttle approaching the corner, then on midcorner, gradually press on the throttle. I have the throttle at 100% as I exit the corner. I sometimes see the car straighten by itself exiting the corner just by using the throttle.
Does this mean I got the right setup now?
Sounds pretty good to me...
I am currently using Yellow springs in the rear and Blue in the front. Seems to handle quite well.
Stick with the Evo II rough. Its good to dream but in the end it just costs too much money to change cars all the time.. I have bought up on spares for my Evo II including a spare lower deck chassis. I intend to use this car for a long while yet...
