Re steering - I ran at Worksop yesterday and it was again an issue on fast sweeping corners - the car won't hook in - it pushes on through the corners.

Do a test in your cars.

Pick it up and move one side / wishbone up to see the amount of bump steer - you will be shocked. What's happening - is that as the car leans into the corner - compressing the outer front wishbone - the bump steer is actually turning the wheel out of the corner - the wrong way!!!

I compared the Losi to a YZ2 - on the YZ it has very slight positive bump steer - so as the car leans away from the corner - it turns into the corner.

On the Losi - it has massive negative bump steer - so wheel turns away from the corner

Removing spacer on axle side track rod helps - but it's still there.

I know a number of people struggling with steering in low grip tracks - to the point where some have decided to run a different car....

I'm hoping in Astro etc it may not be a problem.

Re running diff looser - bad idea - last thing you want is the diff slipping - I know as I've already had to rebuild and replace balls on mine.
Hi Andy
I ran my 22.30 for the first time at Worksop on Sunday and struggled with it
I ended up with front camber link on the inner hole with 4mm washers
For the final and it was the best it had been all day
Not the best result I've had but finished 4th in the D final
Will see how she goes at Yorcc in 2 weeks next run out
