I've converted my Cat sx2 to 2wd as a stopgap to buying a new 2wd, and I've had quite a job getting the rear to behave when exiting corners.

I think I've learned that the rear camber link is part of the solution, as it is designed with kit settings to make the rear go "loose" to help cornering. On a 2wd I didn't find that was particularly desirable, and I tried it in the middle setting last sunday for 2 packs on a fairly moist grass track, and it seemed a lot better. It was great round corners, expecially medium fast and fast corners, and seemed very balanced.

I've also got 60g under the rear gearbox which I felt it needed on the bumpy grass track I race at, I may try without at some point.

Anyway, I'm hoping it will go well this sunday with some competition now I think I've got the settings roughly in the right ball park.
Well so far I have managed to make a rough chassis out of wood (table place mat, Shhhhh dont tell the wife ) before i make a carbon fibre copy. I need to make narrower at the sides of the batteries, also Im not sure what shell to use or to make one. anyway here is a quick pic of what I have done so far.

I will upload Pics later
