Last night I headed to Hardcore R/C Raceway in Flamborough, Ontario for some practice with my 801x-t. I didn't bring the buggy because I am very happy with the way the buggy has been running, and feel like my truggy still needs more work to get it to where I feel it needs to be. Hardcore is probably one of the best, if not the best 1/8th offroad track in Canada, and is a fun place to go spend a Wednesday evening in a relaxed environment to try any setup you please.

 I have been trying to find more low speed, off power steering with the truggy but just haven't been able to obtain the amount that I would like. On power steering is great, off power steering at high speeds is great, but I am just lacking that ability to get the truck to turn in enough initially for me to be able to pick the throttle back up and steer out of the corner. Last night I played alot with roll centers and improved the car, but not in the way I was hoping. My car is really fast in all the high speed sections of the track and still jumps/lands with little drama. I have set my brake bias to about 70% in the rear and 30% in the front to help the car rotate under braking but that is of little use to me on low speed corners when I don't have enough speed entering the corner to warrant using the brakes. I need to do some major research as to what suspension parts are working at high speeds that give the car a perfect amount of steering at high speed, that are not working at lower speeds to give my truck such a push.

 I will check in again next week after I try some more things. Thanks for reading my blog.
