Did you trim the front tyres at all? If not then try outer first then inner as well.


If still too much then maybe consider stagger ribs.

Ellis i was running the new cut staggered ribs but still to nervous went to old worn staggered ribs made it better but then it had to much push the only way i could get it around was on worn tyres front and rear to stop it grip rolling then had forward brit probloms,would it make it better with a rear roll bar??I'm running losi xxx shocks do you now were i can get springs for them??one more thing on all your set up sheets you run no spacers in your losi rear shocks in mine there are about 10mm of spacers is this right??
cheers chris

Chris, I thoiught you copied Ellis set up to the letter?? ;-)

He already has a 0.9mm rear roll bar fitted on that set up, makes a huge differance to the feel of the car.

Try some "new" staggers of the orignal type, the new Cut Staggers make the car do funny things mid corner we have found and as such we all prefer the older type, but if yours are worn then treat yourself to a new pair, the roll bar will also help with the understeer.

For Losi springs (older XXX type), we have the full range in stock at the shop if you need any.....
