went to test the car at the track at new kennedy.

can you say UNDERSTEER. i'm working on geting used to steering that dinky lil thing, but the stock tires and H-frame SUCKS.

think i should put a rear damper on. can't believe they don't come with the stock car.

so can i join? mine is 1/18 and there is the track for mini-Z?

Power off understeer and power on oversteer
That's cos all the weight is in the back with the motor and stuff...try fitting a Type N battery as weight in the front- it fits nicely between the bumper and front axle on my car (on the white thing that connects body to frame)- it helps a lot since I got dinky tires on the front and HUGE tires on the back.

i had these problems on my stock set up as well. all u need is a stiffer rear H bar and stiffer front springs. if u like u can get the damper, but the stock H bar likes to do a lot of wheelhop....so i suggest u change that first. i'm using a medium graphite H

Wait I just went to New Kennedy and I don't see the track anywhere? :???:

Hmm u guys get pretty technical... reminds me of those 4WD 1/24 cars that I used to play back in like grade 4... lol...

Blah, you don't need to change the whole thing- I cut a slit of sheet metal from tech class and stuck it on top of the H bar- it stiffens up the thing real good- and it's FREE! If you want to go further, apoxy another slit on the bottom half.
Unless you got super sticky wheels up front- and you don't like jumping the car, you don't need new front springs. Otherwise, stick a piece of eraser in there and put that crap front suspension out of commission.
