I wont be touching a D-box..

A D-box doesnt teach you proper car control, its like training wheels for a Drifter...


I will be leaving it well alone..

I understand that but I really bought it for my HPI Baja 5 because that thing fishtails like there is no tomorrow. I contacted HPI thinking that there might be something wrong ( I dont have another one in my area to compair it to). They told me that they have gotten a few calls like that and have had great results using the DBox. I said that the DBox was a drift helper right. They said id can be used both ways to increase drift or to eliminate it. Now I have used it on my B5 with great results. I then used it on my Schumacher Big 6 1/6 scale, 2wd on road racer with still great results in eliminating the drift. But now I was going to try it the other way. I am not a serious drifter just wanting to play. Training wheels is exactly what i want. I figure that I can use it to see the proper alignment of the car and slowly lower the gain till I get to the point where it is not necessary. Dose that make sense to anyone else?
