Corner Entry / Off-Power Troubleshooting

Back to RC Setup Troubleshooting Guide

Reduce understeer

Most impact

• Anti-roll bar: lighter front / stiffer rear
• Weight distribution: more weight in front
• Tires: softer front compound / harder rear
• Diff fluid (4WD): lighter front & center, heavier rear
• Roll center: lower front / higher rear
• Camber link: inner stud lower
• Shock springs: lighter front / stiffer rear
• Shock damping: lighter front / heavier rear
• Ackermann: increase

Medium impact

• Shock angle: outward at front tower / inward at rear tower
• Droop (R): more
• Rear axle: use differential instead of solid axle (on-road)
• Front axle: use one-way or differential instead of solid axle (on-road)
• Caster (F): less
• Ride height: lower front / higher rear
• Toe: more front toe-out, less rear toe-in
• Wheelbase: shorter

Less impact

• Camber: more front / less rear
• Anti-squat: more
• Kick-up: less

Reduce oversteer

Most impact

• Anti-roll bar: stiffer front / lighter rear
• Weight distribution: more weight in rear
• Tires: harder front compound / softer rear
• Roll center: higher front / lower rear
• Shock springs: stiffer front / lighter rear
• Shock damping: heavier front / lighter rear
• Diff fluid (4WD): heavier front & center, thicker rear

Medium impact

• Shock angle: inward at front tower / outward at rear tower
• Droop (R): less
• Rear axle: use solid axle instead of differential (on-road)
• Front axle: use solid axle instead of one-way or differential (on-road)
• Caster (F): less
• Ride height: higher front / lower rear
• Toe: less front toe-out, more rear toe-in
• Wheelbase: longer

Less impact

• Camber: less front / more rear
• Anti-squat: less
• Kick-up: more

Reduce traction roll

Most impact

• Anti-roll bar: stiffer in front / lighter in rear
• Tires: harder compound
• Ride height: lower
• Caster (F): less
• Roll center: higher in front / lower in rear
• Rear axle: Use solid axle instead of differential (on-road)

Medium impact

• Droop (R): more
• Shock springs: stiffer in front / lighter in rear
• Shock damping: heaver in front / lighter in rear
• Front axle: use solid axle instead of one-way or differential (on-road)
• Track width (F): wider
