I know it'd be a learning curve for me to figure out the VSS, I guess my biggest question is does it generate more entry steering than the classic crc front end. On a small track I've seen the difference between my car and others that the entry in my crc is lacking. This is after yrs of owning and loving my crc. Now that I'm trying to elevate to compete with some of the faster folks I see where my car is lacking. I honestly don't want to leave crc for xray because all xray does is release a new $400 12th scale every yr and I'm not tryna start that money pit
I’d actually recommend trying the xenon new old skool front end. It’s a nice change from typical reactive styles and provides a very different overall feel of the car. Generally it’s easier to get a ton of steering before the car starts doing weird stuff.

I could never say that definitively. Entry, initial, turn in, response, whatever you call it means something different to everyone. What I can say is that everything is compromise. To increase initial steering without increasing overall steering is done by adding steering on the “weight transfer” phase and removing steering on the “unloading” phase. Maybe it’s as easy as more toe out, or adding some preload to the side springs.

That's a bit of an odd question. Wouldn't today's top cars (A12, Roche P12 evo, Xray 21, Eclipse 4, etc.) be the ultimate 1/12th? They've been tuned and refined over time to be the top cars today.

I'd like to think that the Blackart molded composite style chassis and 3D printed composite accessories would be the next step. As this technology becomes more affordable and main stream, I'd think that we'll see more of it in our hobby.
