Help me understand what my RC is trying to tell me. This isn't for an Arrma, but i think the principles should apply regardless of the make. Edit: this is for a street basher.
The back end wants to slide out when i turn, even when coasting (not braking, not on throttle). It might be awesome if this were a drift car, but it's not. It's the point where anything over 20-30mph can get super sketchy since, if I have to make a quick correction or avoid something (like a parked car...), the back can suddenly shift it's weight and the rear end will go sliding out -- then it's bye bye control.
I don't have a racing background in RC or anything, so i don't have an extensive experience with how suspension changes affect handling. It's a SWB car, so is it just part of the game? Should i start by replacing parts to get rid of some of the slop in the suspension (it's an older truck)? One thing I think I need to do is rebuild/refill the front shocks. I was having "death wobble issues" at speed until I rebuilt and refilled the rear shocks -- no more death wobbles. I'm thinking the fronts might need a rebuild/refill too? Just spit balling ideas here.
