Hello all-
I built the car with the european track setup, since I didn't yet have the parts for the US track style. It didn't work too well on the track I run on, with big jumps etc. Here's a picture-
So... I tried Jason B.'s starting set up for the EC-
and tried it today. The car was like night and day better, especially when the track was damp and fairly sticky. There are two things however, that I'd like to improve:
1)the track dries out quickly, and becomes slippery-hard pack base with fine dust/sand surface, it becomes really easy to spin out when accelerating out of the corner-someone reccomended 552 in the diffs. How could I fix this problem? Change tires is an obvious possibility.
2)The european style track setup had a lot more off power steering-I dont have the alu knuckles yet since they are on backorder everywhere. I want that off power steering back-is there anything I could try or will the alu knuckles fix that?
3)I would classify the track as medium bumpy, and I'd like the car to absorb the bumps a little bit more-it dances around a little in the holes/ruts. bottoming resistance is good on the jumps.
By the way, looks like the leaking diff's are fixed, thanks everyone for the help.
