Hey guys, need a little help. I have read all the online tuning guides I could find and they all say backwards of what is happening with my car.

I learned about bump steer the hard way fri. The car was almost undrivable! I had to go in for some testing on sunday to get the bump steer worked out. Ended up playing with the front end of the car. I dropped the 5deg reactive caster to zero to see if it would smooth things out. Well, it did smooth out the car going into the corner like I wanted but it added soo much steering every where else that I had to goto a softer rear tire and softer side spring and its still got too much steering. I thought it was supposta take steering out ?

Any ideas ?

If I cant find an answer then I will go back to the setup I posted on rc10.com but was hoping to make the car a little better. It can hang with the fast guys but would like to get it a little easyer to drive. Always looking for an edge !

Thanks
