Hello all,
Another meeting, another failure to finish as I've crashed and broken something. So I am needing some advice on a steady approach to improving my driving.
Generally, the fault is in me - my driving experience is minimal and the car is very quick. This leads to a failure to break in time or generally as I'm still trying to set the car up - a loss of control.
I also have quite an indelicate touch (forward 100%, turn 100%, no middle ground).
Currently I am running:
Xray T2 009
13.5T EZRun Brushless motor
35A EZRun Brushless ESC
5000mah, 35C Lipos
Code 2.4ghz transmitter (with the little LCD screen)
45 Shore foam tyres all round
I also have the D/R on the steering limited to 70% which I find helps in the corners
I am getting this VRC simulator adapter so I can try and get used to more delicate use of the controls, and I think swapping to my steer wheel would be beneficial as I am having issues with braking with the stick transmitter.
Therefore, some answers on th following would be appreciated:
- If I set the ESC with the throttle D/R at 100%, then turn the D/R down, will this reduce the top speed?
- If this does limit the throttle, do I need to take any considerations regarding to the demand put upon the motor / ESC?
- The back end of my car loses traction on acceleration - I have the ride height at 4mm across the car and the suspension is at stock level - any suggestions to retain traction at the rear? (this is primarily when breaking or accelerating whilst turning)
Any help much appreciated
