1/8 buggy handleing and speed
Hey guys. I have a werewolf 1/8 buggy that I have modified with a 1512 castle 25/44 drive/spur gears 21volts, foam wheels and lots of other stuff. It has gone a best of 94mph with the Eagle Tree data logger on board but is all over the road. I locked the rear diff and it helped alot. Was thinking about locking the front but dont want to waste a diff if it will not help. Will this prevent the crazy self steering it does? Car is for straight line runs only. I basicily copied the HPI Vorza 100mph build they did a couple of months ago. Any ideas?

RE: 1/8 buggy handleing and speed
Some front tow in should help.
Take off both links and make sure they are identical, at those speeds, just being a tiny bit out could have a big impact.
Or could it be too much rear down force? pushing the rear down, front up, losing front grip.
Soft springs could cause the same thing I suppose.
