Default durga understeer

Is it just me or does the durga have major understeer compared to say, the AE B4.

Do you mean the B44? As the B4 is 2WD it would seem unfair to me to compare the two directly as both will have very different driving styles.

Personally, I don't run a 4WD 1/10 buggy but I'm sure one of those that do will give you an answer soon(ish)

I think the Durga has very good steering to be honest. I was surprised I could get the car to turn as well as I did - but this is a race car and the steering is up to you. If you want more steering then it should be no problem to get it. let us know what your setup is and what sort of surface / track you're racing?

Well, if anything I found my B44 oversteers, so maybe the DB01 does have less sterring but that could be agood thing!

Steve, have a word with Dave, I can't remeber what he did to stop his 501X to stop it losing wheels.

Id recomend these if they are like the losi type hex. Ive been running them on my S4 for a good few months now and havent stripped a hex since.
