HPI Super Nitro flips
 
I have an HPI Super Nitro with an OS .18TZ. The car always flips when I turn it. I have new HPI tires- forget the compound, but it was for asphalt driving- warm temperatures. I installed the purple sway bars front and rear. The springs are white in front and red in the rear. I have the ride height set as low as I can get it. I haven't driven it since last summer because it was frustrating that it flipped all the time. I have two other sets of sway bars that are thinner than the purple ones, and I have two more white springs and red springs to match front and rear if need be. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Dont turn so fast?:)


Does it flip more one way or the other?Or is it 50/50 left and right that it flips?Have you tried tires that dont grip as much?Or any other tires?

Try widening the tires by adding offset and stiffer suspension. Or slow down a tad.

Are you turning the controler to rapid.....try slowing down the driver input and see what happens. Good luck!

The side belt has a tensioner, do you mean the belt that links directly to the rear differential?

How much camber do you have?
If you have 0 or so, then I would recommend adding a bit of camber as it may help.

Does the car flip because it has so much grip or does it feel like it doesn't have much grip but somehow flips anyway?
