I just got a message from Manits, and he said he went to a toe in of 1 deg, then won the qualifier! He said "thanx!" for the suggestions. Last night we added more punch to his esc and tuned down the breaks, which also helped.
I know he has not made the new ackerman bar yet, but will get on it soon. I think this truck has too much ackerman built into the bar. which cannot be adjusted. That is the reason we all run our teering around 80% d/r. I for one cant wait to try a new ackerman tht will make the truck less edgy.
