I have never had a problem with my savox servos and my spektrum radio you just have to have the dsm2 recievers like sr3100 or sr3250.

I'm having trouble with my SC10rs pushing through tight hairpins. It just wants to understeer horribly at low speeds. I have to crawl through the tight corners or it will just push wide into the berm.

The track best described as cleared dirt and gravel. Somewhat hard base, but still soft enough that the rears can dig in and leave small tracks in the exits. There is no competitive racing going on, just a home built track for my buddies and I to race on. Nobody has any real experience so asking them for setup tips is a moot point.

I'm running the stock fronts with Proline Gladiator SC rears, not sure if it is the tires or suspension setup, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

the stock front tires are horrible. I would start there. you can also try to soften the front up with springs and oil.

He sai he has understeer probes, I thought stifening up the front( thicker oil, and stiffer spring) was supposed to be a remedy for understeer, not softening, unless I'm mixed up

under steering is push. normally caused by bad tires or not enought weight transitions forward. To get more weight moving forward you soften the front. Stiffening the rear can also help. You can also remove some droop in the front. many things to do, but the rtr front tires dont have much bite. I would swap those out.

Effectively. It's on some graded land that hasn't been developed on for nearly 5 years now.

It is dusty and fairly loose. It has a hard base, but the dirt still shifts around, particularly on the turns.
