Default B5M Initial turn in

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows how to improve the initial turn in, on a B5M?

It is going into a corner and has a lot of under steer, but on the way out it has a lot of over steer.....

I've tried different weight combos but it doesn't seem to help. Any help or advice appreciated.

Reduce the trail with the inserts in the kit. Try 2 or 3mm instead of the standard 4mm.
You'll be surprised.

Mine turned in far too aggressively for me on high grip causing it to roll a lot. I switched to the offset caster block bush set and it's miles better.

I'll post the set up this evening if I get a chance to. To be honest...everything on the car is feeling as good as I could imagine an rc car to feel...it's literally the initial turn that's giving me an issue. I have to slow down way beyond what everyone else seems to be doing, just to get that first bite into the corner.

The inserts are on 3mm, so in the middle. I was going to try the 4mm ones, but I wasn't sure what way to go with it. I'll pop in the 2mm and see if that helps.

To be fair....it could just be my driving!

I have the same issue, I added some weight in front of the servo but am yet to run it with this change. It might give it some more bite on turn in or over steer I'm not sure yet.

Weight, springs and offset bushes calmed mine down.
