Default RE: Hyper 7 Set up for slipery surface ??

1. find a sticky surface

2. try setting the brake bias to give more power to the rear brakes. i ran my 7 with just rear brakes a while and it does just what you are looking for, whips around slippery corners. i run 7,10,3 oils. the only problem with the rear-only brakes is in the jumps it doesn't drop the nose down fast enough, i like to have a responsive flier in the air. on carpet if i hold the front of the buggy up the rears lock. if i hold the rear up the front has just a a bit of tension, a little more than noticeable. then i use the dual rates on the dx2 and adjust it to the track conditions and brake fade. good luck though. you'll soon see why the "whip the rear" technique isn't the best when you end up a couple laps short on you tanks
