I know I have posted thread on how to ...... But I am just not sure I should do it ? I am using some borrowed saddle lipo 3200 and I have loads of weight under them and when I take the weight out it will not turn in ! I am thinking that if I stick it then I will have even less weight in the front !
And I race on very slippy flooring !
Any ideas ?

I went from saddle nimh to stick lipo and you get more pivot into the corner and i feel more mid corner with the stick. Basically the more you shift the weight back the more pivot into a corner you will get as it acts like a pendullum. I run 20g under the front shocks to bring back steering out of the turn and thats about it.

When you take the weight out the front have you re-adjusted the front ride height? I always fing the steering becomes vague when front wishbones are level or above.

Everyone i've spoken to who has gone to the stick layout has preffered it so its probably worth a try. Steering arms for swapping sides are in the pipeline so it may be worth hanging if you don't fancy modding what you have?

Out of interest is the rear hub mounted to the wishbone in the upper or lower holes?
