Steering a BK2?

[Snakesonaplayne6]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to get more steering (ie; setups mod's, etc.) out of my Losi Bk2? I already added the rack steering configuration from my xxx-cr, but it didn't seem to help enough, what else can I do? any help would be much appreciated.

if you post your current setup now we would be able to help you more

the CR rear end will help with more steering

Do you have extra weight in the front?

I'm not sure if they still do, but the 'team' lads were running brass bulkheads up front to add a fair bit of mass to the front end.
Lead under the bumper or stuck to the nose peice will have a similar effect. 20 gramms would be a good start point.

It will give you more steering all round - and particularly power on steering.

There are about 4 million other things you can do also, just try stuff and see what happens.

Where can I get a brass bulkhead?

Were they were made specially for the team - im not 100% on that.

Lead will do just fine.
