Default DEX210 terrible in the Wet!!! Help please :)

Hi guys,

i've taken up racing again after about 18 years away from it! Started with my DEX410 and am getting on very well. I have also purchased a 210 to get into 2WD as well as 4WD. This is new to me as i never raced 2wd when i was younger.

So, i purchased a lovely 210 off of here, it had a few mods, such as the cream front end, i've also got around 25g weight under the servo (maybe this is an issue??). Its running MM4 config, pretty much all else as should be and set up using a set up sheet for Eden Park from the Durango site.

So, in the dry the car is fantastic, i feel very confortable pushing it, but as soon as the track gets a bit wet its a nightmare. This is mainly on Astroturf. The car will understear when trying to power a little and then just lose the back end in an instant.

My first time out it was wet all day, and i found i have the ESC set up wrong, far too punchy, and no expo on the throttle. Now ive sorted them, using expo has made it MUCH nicer to drive when wet, but i just cannot push at all. I can put in OK times, but i lose way too much time to people that i was matching in the dry.

What can i do to help in this situation please??
