Have you tried the new 4mm trailing spindles? Part number TLR1075 - see here

When we've tried them, they do calm the front end down.

Is your issue too much on corner entry, on exit or during the corner.
Running the 30 degree front kick block from the 22-T and 22-SCT also calms the front down but you'll probably also want to change your castor blocks to 0 deg or 3 deg options.

Running the link longer helps and you could modify the link as others have down to have it mounted further outboard at the kingpin. That is known to calm the front end down.

One last thing - just to be sure - is the problem at the front or could it be that the rear end is suddenly letting go causing the back to break away and over-steer to occur? Just a thought - without seeing your setup entirely, much of this could point you down the wrong path but, hopefully it might help.

In case it helps...

Here's some generic starting setups that I've collected along my travels.

I managed to grab a little bit of time with Darren this week to get his current astro starting set up and I've also included my own generic starting set up.

I've also included a couple of setups from Jon Brown (jcb) - big up to Jon - he didn't have to send them to me but he's a good chap. He's recently won the east of England 2WD Regional series this year so I understand with the 22 as well. Not even a Team Driver but well done to him and thanks for allowing me to share this info.

Hopefully somewhere along the line, this might help?

Cheers.

WHICH D-boots?

You've got to give up EVERYTHING, including what kind of set-up you're using.


And, have you tried something as simple as turning down the steering rate on your controller?
I mean there is no rule that says you have to have your steering set at 100% when 80% will do.
