Well I gave the front end a little more droop and it was a little better, not much, just a little bit.

I undone the end about 3 turns I think it was, I have a total length of 77.5mm.
I might make it a little shorter yet, I'll give it a little more time.

Although it was a little better, under hard acceleration, there still wasn't a lot of steering and after watching it closely I noticed the rear was just going straight down every time.

My first thought was to take out the squat washer but then decided to put a different piston in the shocks.
So, I now have the 3A (3x 1.2mm) kyosho piston in the rear with 275CST/25w oil.

When I tested it this time, the difference was amazing, just so much steering everywhere.

I don't think theres much more I should do to it for a while now.


I still don't understand why people put down the mid motor buggies though, I can't really fault it at the moment (atleast not the X6).


The new clay track might be ready by sunday, although it will most likely just be a flat pad as the jumps havn't been made yet and as it is now, needs a roller put over it to flatten/smooth it out.
We still havn't decided on a track layout yet but there are a few ideas popping about.

If it's not ready, then we will be mowing down the grass and give one of the track ideas a go.

We also might be getting a new drivers stand, in the shape of a 45' semi trailer, with a roof and a raised floor.
