22 handleing

just a quick bit of info required here...im finding that my buggy is understeering so badly when coming off the straight and in general I am wondering what to adjust setup wise to get it to tun a bit better and not understeer so badly. I am running yellow mini pins all round with medium inserts and 4wd front wheels and this seems alot better than 2wd fronts and i also moved the shocks right out on the towers front nd rear and this also made it better. any help on making it better.

I don't know what your experience is - whether you're used to 4wd cars and are new to 2wd, and thus if you're not familiar with the fact that 2wd cars have a natural understeer tendency compared to 4wd cars.

And you haven't really said what set-up you're actually using (you didn't really give enough information) - so it's going to be literally impossible to make any suggestions... because if you're running 4wd mini pins on the front there's literally no way you should be experiencing any understeer.

sorry setup is all kit setup apart from moving the shocks out on the towers.

Again - "I don't know what your experience is - whether you're used to 4wd cars and are new to 2wd, and thus if you're not familiar with the fact that 2wd cars have a natural understeer tendency compared to 4wd cars."

Otherwise, since the kit set-up is only a starting point (along with the fact that people have posted dozens of set-ups they prefer over the kit one), it seems you might try some changes to see how they compare - that's how people find what works for them.

As I tried to say earlier - with you being used to 4wd, you're going to need to learn a different driving technique than the typical "heavy-handed 4wd style" you're used to. Compared to most 2wd's, I not only find the 22 to have plenty of steering but I haven't come close to needing full-width mini-pins on the front (as that's about the highest grip option)...
