right, things i would do to gain more steering:

-Front wing
-More weight in front
-less washers under front ballstud
-inside hole on arm
-stand shocks up on tower (more low speed turn - less high speed)
-longer front link will give you more aggresive turn, but less initial.
-cut ribs out of front wheels to make softer

Changing rear can also help steering:

-longer wheel base increases amount of pivot
-more washers under rear ball stud will loosen rear end
-standing shocks up at rear more
-smaller spur gear to move motor in.
-smaller wing will make car more reactive

have you tried all of these things??

Cheers for the reply Lee - food for thought there. Will try what you suggest. Already done some of those changes.

Thanks Lee!
Congratulations on your wedding!
and wish you the best of luck at the WC!!!
...any suggestions you have for a blue-groove outdoors setup???
...or anything close to that, hard packed dirt, high traction...
Thanks Champ

Hi guys
Did any of you guys running the 201 at Worksop this weekend get the steering they wanted or did non of the setup advice make much difference?

i found my car to be superb around there and watching daveg28's that looked very good too. shame my driving was shocking!
yellow front springs, red rear, front wing, 1.5mm under inner front ball stud, 0.5 deg rear hubs, rudebits under servo and lipo weight and the rest as per lee's euros setup
