The actual problem is the rear of the crt.5 slides out too much. The car drives too square and looses too much speed in the turns. On lower speed corners I can drive deeper in and get on the throttle quickly if not leave it on a bit through the whole turn. But if I stay on the throttle too long down the back straight (into a tight 180 turn) the rear of the car will slide out every time. I just can't carry the same speed through that turn as a true 10th scale vehicle.
I believe this is caused by three things:
1. Not enough weight in the back. I'm working on a new layout for the car and will have the new batteries by the end of this week to do it.
2. Too much drag by the diffs. I'm running 2/3/1 (front - rear) in the diffs, but the rear still seems to thick. I'm thinking of going back to stock 1/1/500 to see how that handles.
3. The front has too much steering. Some of this should be cured by moving weight from the front to the rear. I think there can be some improvement by working with toe and camber on the front.
