I am running 60g in the spine and the shocks on the rear of the tower, tried moving them to the front of the tower as I thought it might be a pendulum effect but this actually made the car worse still ... so much so I pulled it off after 3mins as it wasn't going to finish the run in one piece!
In the summer I was running the FS rear end most of the rear and 65-70g under each LiPo too. Actually when it got slippery I prefered the narrower still SP width rear .... I think this is all pointing to one thing sadly. The more I think about it the more I suspect I will end up with the FS2 rear back in the box. God only knows how you guys run it with a rear ARB! |

in my veiw sticking more weight in is not the way forward i agree a heavier car with todays power can feel more settled but i feel to much weight can make a detremental effect to handling and it seems to get over looked. i run 60g between my batts but i would never put any more in that area. stu |

Tried 4 rows off the fronts too just to be sure (and worn tires for that matter). Fairly sure it's not initial / front end based but not 100% |

you are having an intresting problem rog its odd though how the fs2 rear end seems to be the issue i must admit im not the best person to ask about the fs2 or fs rear end as my kyosho doesn't run either what may be best put the fs rear end back on get the car as you like it and maybe step out the box with setup as a lot of drivers i know only tend to go down the same route once you have done that go back to the fs2 rear and see how it feels.

Reading through all this again, i would too suggest its the front end thats the issue..
Especially if its hooking round lifting off into a corner.... Try different pistons, the spacers to alter kickup... ( on high grip carpet i take them all out..) remove any spacers of the ackermann.. Also on the slipper... are you using the same colour pad front and rear??? At Broxtowe on sunday, i could come round the corner at the end of the straight by just lifting slightly then back on the power once round it... if i gave it too much (trying to line up for the next corner..) i could opposite lock it and drift it totally controllably to square it up.. its never like what you describe... Infact when i drove your car at the Xmas Cracker briefly.. the car seemed ok... then only thing i didnt like was the whole feel of the transmitter, just felt extremely " slow " in response.. YOu got my email.... i sent to the googlemail work one you set up when you finished for xmas.. |

Mike, I am certainly not saying I think there is anything wrong with the car as there are many people who have picked it up and are flying with it.
I loved the FS, great car in my opinion. I am just asking those who have run an FS2 longer than me to help me solve an issue which might very well be more down to how I like to drive than the car. |

Roger, are you sure everything is working OK on your FS2 parts? I know you are a veteran racer (so I am ) but I didn't find such a handling difference going from the FS to the FS2. Your problem sounds as something is binding, bent, or broken. A stiff CV joint, a gritty bearing or a bent axle can look OK when checked by hand a make a mess of the handling on track.

It doesn't feel like a "hook" from the front, it's mid to late corner and I can almost see the rear coming around and the front, if anything, was pushing slightly as I normally like it. It might be a hook but it really doesn't have that feel about it. Quote:

Please explain as I am not sure I understand what you mean there. It's the same handset and spektrum modual as you run, all the curves / exps / rates etc. are set to neutral as I prefer a linear feel to the throttle / steering. Not sure if it's relevant but I'll try anything that might help me understand this issue as I know I can make the car nice again by going to the previous rear end but its the not understanding the problem that is driving me mad!!! |

I gave the car a really good look over when I got it home hoping to find something like the above but it all looked fine. |

I'm not ready to move from under the big red K just yet mate. Tamiya seems to suit you well though.

I know I'm just winding you up... This just sounds like my old ZX5 when I ran it with the plastic chassis, I could never get the rear end to stick...
