Steering servo 1/10. Speed or torque?
This is for a Tamiya F102 (4WD Indy). I got the Hitec 525 which is the speed version. I am thinking it might be too fast, leading to spinouts and the like. Any advice ?

Try messing with the controls on the remote control. Change the max throw or change the steering curve. For the off road cars that have front wheels outside of a wheel well you want to have enough torque so that you can push yourself off of the pipe. Also make sure whatever you have is metal gear.

When I set up my F201, I didn't use near as much rear toe-in as the set-up instructions. I've also read quite a few complaints about the stock tires, but I've only noticed a large difference on the "slick" type asphalt surfaces. After the temps start hitting the 90's, the tire effect will probably be more noticable.

have put the HS-925MG in my pro 2 0.08 sec 60 degree and torque is at 7.4 Kg (103 oz-in) i found this a huge improvement over my last one but just because it gose fast dosent mean u have to turn the wheel on the controller fast u do much quicker lap times if u race smoothly.

a quick servo might have your wheels at full lock before the cars settled into the turn causing problems, but you only notice this if your good, and on a high grip tight track. your spin outs are due to agressive overstere caused by your grip or spring settings and your right thumb.
