i have a supra w/ stage 2 motor upgrade w/ 8 teeth, foam tires, AWD, suspension, rechargable batteries, body kit

what are the best settings for suspension with my AWD and stage 2 motors so that i have the best handling and will improve my turning radius...

im riding on comercial grade hard carpet w/ the foam tires.


my turning radius sucksssss... i tried so many different configurations, different stiffness springs, all the toe-in bars, using the red differential, the white differential, interchanging the red and the yellow suspension parts...

im stuck i dont know what to do the car is apart more than its together... i can't enjoy it...

i tried searching but i cant find anything....

This might be obvious, but did you turn the steering trim dial to "maximum" on your controller?

Otherwise, I would look in that little magazine that came with the car and do everything that promotes oversteer. Soft springs and tires up front; hard, stiff in rear :eek:

A more extreme measure can be found here (http://bitpimps.lixlink.com/pages/phpForum/viewtopic.php?t=2371)

Also, as I understand it, the stock tie rod/steering arm will give the smallest turn radius. Shifting your batteries to the rear-most setting will help as well.

yea... everything is adjusted on the controller properly, the steering range, the throttle...

i might try out adjusting the toe-in rods..

i dunno whatelse i have to do...

I'm gonna try that hot salt trick... I didn't even think about it...(duh) hahah how clever... what can it hurt... I don't notice a difference at all between any of the tierods in the suspension upgrade... the springs change a lot of the handling.. but the turning radius is $hitty on any degree.
