I've had parcels reach Australia in under a week and then take another 2-3 to actually get to me. rcmart and HK Post are usually not the issue.

Don't forget too, try playing with the exponential/curve of your steering as well as your dual rate on you radio. Often overlooked, but a huge item. And do circles and adjust your endpoints so that your car can turn the same diameter circle left and right. Will make the car feel much more consistent.

I know most know of this practice, but just in case, I follow these steps:

1. On the transmitter, set dual rate setting to maximum
2. Set trim so so that the car goes straight.
3. Set balance/endpoint left and right so that at max throw the servo is not straining or flexing parts.
4. Put the car sideways against a track board (wall, whatever) and do a half circle, put your foot where the car ends up.
5. Turn the car 180deg against your foot and turn towards the board doing another half circle.
6. Adjust your balance/endpoint until your circles are equal and the car sideswipes your foot and board in each direction, making sure the servo is not straining or flexing parts.

From there you have your maximum steering in the car, use dual rate to dial out as needed (less is often better). You shouldn't ever have to worry about over straining your servo or parts this way. I do this on EVERY car I have.

But...on track the car actually only uses about a 3rd of the available travel and the bump steer effect is inconsequential really.

If it is the CVA shocks, they come with a red o-ring and I am not sure what the spare for that is.

The rear of my V2R hooks when I turn with higher corner speed. Stock setup, Tamiya 60D Type B slicks (control tires for a race this Sunday), running on mid grip asphalt. Any suggestions that can prevent the rear from hooking without reducing cornering speed? Thanks!

Gotta agree here, had the same issue. It seems with Oz Post as their prices go up, their service goes down in proportion.

I'll try #50597 but I was looking for silicon

thank you for your help
