Last friday I had my first day of 1/12 driving, I'm driving an S120LT.
The first two batteries I was turning in way to early and hit almost every barrier.
The next couple of batteries I decided to turn in way later and basically go wide every corner. Because of this I could run several laps without hitting anything and started to find a rhythm. At the end of the evening I was already closer to the curbs and putting in some decent laps.
But still I found the car being too aggressive so I changed the oil in the side tubes from 15k to 30K which calmed down the car tremendously and made it much smoother.
I took some more steering out by going one step harder on the front springs, but I think I will go back to the stock ones tomorrow because now I feel like I can use some more steering.
Next I will focus on the esc settings (we run 13,5 with timing) and gearing options to make sure I'm not down on power.
BTW, 1/12 is a really nice class, finally found a nice class to run during the winter period.
Also don't put too much effort in your first body shell, it will be ruined after 3-4 days of running.
