As some of you know i've had my nitro truck for a couple of months and im now starting to get a good knowledge of how to tune it. As a result the thing is absolutley hammering :p and when cornering hard i keep either picking up the inside wheels or even rolling :( .....Short of slowing down how should I set the suspension to make it handla a bit better?.....Hard front, soft back? soft front, hard back? softer all round etc etc? I do about 50/50 on and off road with it so im after a bit of a compromise....for those that dont remember its a traxxas nitro sport that loves the shag pile :?

how is your shocks set up atm? soft? hard? and what weight oil?

my buggy (which is sitll undergoing tuning) has 35 weight oil in the rear, 25 in the front. springs are medium.

i think the best thing is : experimentation

try hard. try soft. try it all.

yeah i might head to the hobby shop next weekend and stock up on a few different parts....at the moment its completley stock out of the box so im not too sure what weight oil or anything is in it.
