TRF502 Setup help

[Jamie.T]

I ran my 502 for the first time yesterday and loved it, was really solid to drive and generally very impressed with build quality e.t.c.

The only slight issue i had was mid and exit of corners where the back end would come around on itself like someone pulled the handbrake up, then on exit i would power on and it would drift sideways. (and it wasn't too much power as its only running 7.5)

I was running Lee martins set-up with brand new mini pins all round with front outer edge cut off, the only thing i could think of was that im running the kit std rear hubs, am i right in thinking i need more rear toe-in to keep it in line, and if so would the 0.5 ones be the job?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hmm, maybe weight, anyone tried running some? But yeah I'd say more toe in would help too, though may make it a bit too pushy on power!

did you compare it to belstens on the day? i hear that was awesome to drive!

[Jamie.T]

Ye, Belsten said his was a little the same, but looked a lot more planted on the track. He did suggest running the lipos in the forward position, but i dont think thats gonna help this issue. I could also be completely wrong, so i guess ive got to try it first.

i think lipo forward will transform your car mate

[Jamie.T]

Do you think moving the lipo forward will cure the "slidey rear end" problem, or will sticking 0.5 rear hubs be better, or maybe i should do both.

Whats the advantages and dis-advantages of running more rear toe-in?

[GRIFF55]

Myself, i would try the lipo first and try to be smoother on the throttle out of corners. if that doesnt work, bang the rear hubs on and try that. its the only way to find things to suit your driving style
