Handling Tips.
On the front wishbone, put a few washers, spacers of any sort to lift the front of the wishbone up by around 2 or 3mm. This will give some castor to front wheels, improving stability.
Under the rear ball joint put about 1mm of washers underneath lifting the pod giving the car a little bit of anti-squat. (Allegedly) Try it and let me know if it works for you.
Put some threaded turnbuckles on using Schumacher ball joints, or whatever equivalent you may have handy, and give the car neutral toe in to 1degree toe-out - more toe out gives more steering. Modified track rod sets are available from trackside shop.
Change the kit servo saver for the small Kimborough type and 'hey presto' the steering returns to neutral every time!
The rear suspension should be set while batteries are in the car (at race weight), so that the weight of the car will compress the spring by about 0.5 to 1mm, this is very soft but it'll improve rear end grip.
But loosen the two screws which compress the 'O' ring on the shaft, these are best used only as a guide for the rear pod and not for damping action. if you do this the car will feel 'bouncy' on the bench but will be very good on the track.
