How do I increase on-power steering in my XB8? I'm pretty quick on the rest of the track but those damn Losi's pass me and pick up time during a couple sections of the track. I have to take them slow to make the turn in time... |

Increase your caster... take some drop out off the front. Craige |

Add toe-out to the front. Have you done the steering mod to the front hubs yet? I've never had any problems turning inside of a Losi nor an 808 for that matter with my EC. |

Toe out will make it more aggressive on the entry, toe in will do the opposite. On-power steering (but all of these things have different effects): More caster Toe-in Thicker diff fluid in front/center Less rear toe Longer wheelbase Less front droop Stand the shocks up Shorten rear camber link Use the same tires as the 'fast guys' haha! |

I needed more on power steering in my XT8. I went to 2 degrees rear toe from 3 degrees and what a difference. My XT8 felt like it was on rails. |

Make sure you dremel the front upper arm mount where the nuts that hold the steering links to the Ackermann plate hit. |
