sounds like there wasn't enough camber change on the rear to keep the tyre flat, mid corner it was probably rolling off the outer edge of the tyre.

Ryan ,
Put a shot of your steering mod plz. It's to much interesting.  Somebody go to the European championship at Vienna ? There is carpet, at the warmup, on the straight, the big corner on the left, on the four jumps, on the table ...and on the 360° corner ( halfpipe )Is the rear end mod great for this track ? thx

hi bastos,
the first time i used the steering mod was on a tight twisty carpet track and it didnt grip roll once; i use the steering mod on all tracks even if low grip as it kicks the rear end out and on high grip tracks like astroturf it stops it digging in, also have the front end ride height higher than the rear so the weight is at the back and stops digging in so much. The rear end mod (ball studs upside down) i use on any track or any surface to stop the rear end powersliding. When i used the bx at oswesrty where there was a big table top the bx stuggled to fly (lol its not a plane!!) probarly becuase i got the fattest batteries ever (peak 4300) try some harder springs on the front to push the front end of the jump. Most people are running associated shocks now but i found the yokomo shocks just as good i also had to put limiters in the rear shock to stop the drive shaft falling out. i do want to try it with associated b4 rear hubs and associated drive shafts for even more rear end grip. i have not found my camera yet so no photos of the steering, i will pm you some better instructions. hope this helps!!!! ryan

Ryan,
For the yokomo shocks, if you think they are better ( that's I think ) try to find this yokomo reference ( long shocks shaft 49,6mm ) : YS-5L-2T to have the same lenght as asso shocks.( Use "BRADDERS" rear shock tower )For the rear hub, I've win a french nats on slippery tracks with rayspeed rear hub 0,5° and original rear hub ( to have classic 3° toe in or more) and with CVDs Dogbones...its right that the cvds give something more ( traction out of corner ). Gallery here : http://www.mini-zone.com/plugins/dia...fr&diapo_id=27 See my yokomo ( the yellow one ) Thx for your help YOKOMO better than before ( I still wait the shot of ur steer mod )

The U.K. rear mod is interesting, but, perhaps there is something more simple.`
Take a look on your front hub carrier...you can set the wheel base, long or short, I think you can modified the arms to make the wheelbase more shorter.( just to put two spacers on the front of hub ) By this, the steering is totaly different and the rear end don't go out during corner and the front end is smoother...good for slippery tracks. :santa:

i have two of the "bradders" shock towers that i used with the associated shocks, it is higher than standard. what is the advantage of using long shock shaft and the "bradders" shocktower does it give the car more droop? if it does the driveshaft will fall out with the rear end mod so do you have to run rayspeed hubs and b4 driveshafts? i tryed the front hub spacing and still found it digging in to much so i always run the upside down ballstud it transformsthe car to a 4wd beast!!! do you run the rear end mod? you must be pretty good if you won th efrench national i dont think i can compare my self to you!!!

Is this your car then Bastos, it looks really good, liking it! Got a few questions for you, the white turnbuckles are they Losi ones and you’ve drilled holes in them? Did you move the belt tensioner to the top hole or are you running two, one below and one on top? Also have you ever had any problems with your PT missing laps where it’s fitted, if I do decide to use mine again then that is where I was going to mount it! Also I notice that you have put two screws through the rear diff cover, I wanted to screw mine on, so I didn’t cut it out as per the instructions leaving it as a large square, this enables you to fix it down using the four screws which hold the diff plate in place. Oh and also I recommend buying the alloy front brace if you can, strengthens up the front nicely. David/Bathy

bradders shock tower
the bradders shock tower is a modified version that has some thing to do with neil cragg and paul bradby/bradders it is higher than standard so you can run associated shocks or longer shock shafts, you can buy them of him for about £15. i have a spare one brand new that you could buy from me for £15 + p&p i can not make any chaeper as thats what i payed it does not come in a packet as i brought it of mike bradby.(pauls dad)

1) Yes it's losi ones, drilled for the original ball stud 2) I use top hole of the tensioner 3)For the PT, I never have problem, but 2/3% of detection, be carefull. Perhaps just behind the motor. 4)For the cover, I use small screw from associated/ losi generaly use for fixing the front wing.
