Question: How the heck do i get my truck to turn sharp enough for these tracks we make in the skating rank? Roger's matt francis seemed to have the same problem after we finished the races last night. Do i have to get a dif server or what! cause the server only turns so far in once direction, and what is a good motor to run there, and what is a good ratio of spur and pinion gear to run? caust it seems like when i run like a 16-18 pinion, my batteries die fast and dump, but then i run a 21-22 tooth, it gradualy looses power at the end, i dunno, maybe i just need good batteries

And some more questions

Should i buy some sexy good batteries and charger and a few parts for my Matt Francis or start in my new career of sedan racing, or should i save for a nice nitro for this next summer racing?

will update as i have more boring questions

I would stronly suggest getting some 3300 matched stick packs. The motor should be fine. Have you ever had teh com turned? how long have you ran that motor?

As far as turning goes what kind of radio are you using can you adjust it add or remove steering

You rturck should have plenty of stearing ecspeciallly with the bigger track. Check to make sure your server is centered and it turns equaly the smae left and right, also make sure that if you have an adjustment for servo throw that it is set right. If that doesnt fix it check to make sure that the servo isnt missing some teeth on one of its gears.

it has the the steering trim and trottle but also it has a dial to choose how far it can turn too

I run the xxxt and there is no more need for steering on this carpet do you have the right servo arm. Are you going on your experiance from last year. Start with the stock setup after you get it back togeather again. The track had way more traction in the truck main then it did in the heats so keep that in mind. I know that I was coasting threw the tight ones so I wouldn't traction roll.
