That was about it. That and I corner weighted the car with 4 scales and added about 8 gm of lead on the Rx side.
But the bigges thing I did to improve the car... was focus on my line more and stop being so harsh on the turn in. I also turned my DR down (at about 55% now) even when running Black fronts /Yellow rears.
I did testing wtih Magenta all around, 2x Pink F / Magenta R, Purple F/Magenta R but they all lost grip and fuzzed up toward the end. Black and Yellow were faster through the entire race.
wow, that seems a little subtle. how low is the front shock location? is it in the shortest location and just clear of battery?
last week to get more steering i went to an angled servo and inline front axles, this seems a step too far(lap times were not much lower but less consistent). so maybe the answer is a little weight back, flat servo and red spring in the softest position.
thanks for the info.
