Default help with hobayo understeer

hi guys i have a hyper7 pbs and want to know how to get more steer at full power. if i turn a corner and back the power off it is ok but at full throttle the steering is crap, ii have the end points at max and the tyres turn all the way so maybe the toe in/out camber or somthing needs adjusting... know nothing bout cars so a bit of detail in an explanation would be appreciated.

also are there any threds on here that explain how to tune the suspension ?

thanks

This will help and all so down load the X ray manual as it has very good information as well.

Dont overlook the steering servo could be weak. the cars tourqe could be causing the wheels to straiten

All so make sure you have your servo saver set properly.

hi guys, thanks for the imput. the servo is the stock one that comes with the hyper 7, it is a high torque mg servo, hard to stall (just ask my crushed fingers), the servo saver is as tight as but will budge if you make it. i will try reading the information on tuning the suspension and see how i go.

You have to watch your buggy while it's oversteering to determine what the cause is...
1-If your inside tire is expanding a lot compared to the outside tire, you should look into swapping oils in the front diff
2-If you just seem to have a lack of grip at the front playing with the camber can have a night and day effect, too much rear camber makest the car extremely stable in high speed corners but it takes away some steering the rear end is just planted and refuses to come around in this case you can dial out some rear camber or add some camber at the front .
I hope you find my info usefull.

Good steering at WOT is not really compatible by default. The car will always push but you can make tweak it some. Try a thicker diff oil in the rear. That should make the rear end loser.
