Steering a BK2?
 
Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to get more steering (ie; setups mod's, etc.) out of my Losi Bk2? I already added the rack steering configuration from my xxx-cr, but it didn't seem to help enough, what else can I do? any help would be much appreciated.

the CR rear end will help with more steering :)

Do you have extra weight in the front?

I'm not sure if they still do, but the 'team' lads were running brass bulkheads up front to add a fair bit of mass to the front end.
Lead under the bumper or stuck to the nose peice will have a similar effect. 20 gramms would be a good start point.

It will give you more steering all round - and particularly power on steering.

There are about 4 million other things you can do also, just try stuff and see what happens.

Where can I get a brass bulkhead?

Were they were made specially for the team - im not 100% on that.

Lead will do just fine.
