Unhappy E-Slayer handling woes - 09.14.2008, 04:12 PM

So I got my new Slayer fully converted running a Neu 1512/2.5/D, 4S with a Mamba Max, and tranny locked in 2nd for motor brakes and reverse.

My first couple of shake down runs with this little rig and I’m pleasantly surprised by the speed; but the suspension handling is terrible. With the narrow wheel-base any attempt to corner at speed and it goes over. I spent more time on the lid then on the wheels. It seems really off balance while at speed when you roll off throttle. The rear is in a constant squat and when you let off the power, the center of gravity moves forward collapsing the front suspension and it wants to nose over while in any kind of turn. You actually have to adjust your driving and unwind your steering input when you roll off throttle to compensate.

I’m no suspension tuner and could use some input. Not sure if I should attempt a different fluid weight, change the springs, or take some other approach. I’m thinking in the front I need to at least drop down a spring rate as I have the adjusters all the way out and the front is still fully extended under normal ride height.

Any thoughts?
