my car dont turn
why wont my car turn good??? when im off the thottle and the car is going slow (just about to stop) i will turn all the way and it takes about 5 to 6 feet to turn around, but my wifes evo 3 will turnaround on a dime???? the only big differance i can see is she has the rtr tires and mine has slicks that are thiner and shorter....

RE: my car dont turn
on power or at a faster pace the back wheels get real loose but as far as slow it dont seem to slide front or rear.. just makes a wide turn..

RE: my car dont turn
You suffer either from mass understeer or as foxy mentioned the steering servo for some reason has not enough power to steer the wheels much. Check the receiver batteries in case they are low and that's the reason. If not then maybe your radio dual rate steering adjustment, as mentioned above, is small. In case that everything I mentioned is fine then you need a more poerful servo for steering or the steering system is tight somewhere and it is difficult to move.

RE: my car dont turn
I have the duel rate set for full turn and my batts are new. I guess I need a better servo right now im useing the jrz270(standerd) but i have the same in the hpi.. my steering is to me on the loose side seems that it has alittle to much play for my taste but then too im used to the hpi evo3... maybe its the flimsy white servo horn that come with the servo???? Dont know if it helps but I have the JRXS PRO radio...

RE: my car dont turn
I got the car in a trade so I dont have new springs for it yet.. they are a gold/bronze color.. driver side has one big spacer and I had to add another small spacer to it so the ride hight would be level, but the passinger side shock has no spacers on it?? so im going to get the ft shocks and I was thinking red springs for the front and black ones for the rear.

RE: my car dont turn
With the car stopped and the engine at idle, when you steer fully left or right from the radio do the wheels fully turn at their ending position?? If yes then the problem comes from the suspention setup.

RE: my car dont turn
You never mentioned what car you are referencing. Since you said FT springs I will assume NTC3 which I would recomend checking out the set up sheets on www.rc10.com and match up the conditions the best you can with pro drivers settings, it usually works well for me.

RE: my car dont turn
Don't go WOT at slow speeds when turning... You need to roll on it and limit how much throttle you put in. If you just stick it in WOT, you'll encounter a LOT of understeer and really won't get anywhere...

That seering servo is no good, I guarantee that's your steering problem at speed. Get a futaba 9451 for steering, then start tuning the chassis.
