I raced mine for the first time this weekend and had a blast. I'm not up to speed with the real experienced 1/12 guys, but I was within a few laps. I was riding it around and just trying to get a feel for the class and the speed and not pushing hard at all. The car only developed a little bit of a push when I got offline on the carpet, but it cleared up fairly well within a lap or two of staying on the groove. I had no steering issues and am running a flat mounted servo. I used a 3/8" long threaded spacer (short CRC standoff) a 5/8" screw and the female ball stud on the steering arm and shimmed the axles a touch wider up front so there is plenty of tire clearance. It put the linkage level or just under with the outside a hair higher than the inside. The result was as close to zero bump steer as I could get it. It really does drive nice. Now to be brave enough to carry more corner speed!
