Better turning radius

[arfin]

I have tried using 4 fatties all around, and the turning radius actually got smaller then i would expect. On one of my epoch i had to sand down the left inner sides, because it was touching the steering arms, but on my other 2 i didn't.

I have the original springs but want to replace them with softer ones

arfin, is the radius due to understeer, or the physical restriction of the arms? What surface are you on?

I ride on wooden floors and tiles, i have no track yet. But with the fatties, you get a better turning radius, i'm not exactly sure why but it is a good setup in a track with many turns/sharp turns. You should try it if you haven't yet. :)

Here is a diagram, to help get you the turns you want, btw the tires needed can be found at the shop right. I have my own, but for the others that don't.

Hey Arfin, and guys --

So, after inspecting all my various tires I have found that there are 5 different tires basically.

1 -- Stocks - harder, taller, black and "stock" to the Spec 2 RTR and Chassis/Body Set. Also sold in a set of four seperately.
2 -- Medium - black and "stock" to the front axil of the Spec 1. Also sold combined with 2 fat mediums in a set of four.
3 -- Fat Medium - black and "stock" to the back axil of the Spec 1. Also sold combined with 2 mediums in a set of four.
4 -- High Grip - gray, a softer compound, and an accessory in the Spec 1 RTR. Also sold combined with 2 fat high grips in a set of four.
5 -- Fat High Grip - gray, a softer compound, and an accessory in the Spec 1 RTR. Also sold combined with 2 high grips in a set of four.

I like the "D" setup on your chart for my Spec 1s -- high grip in the front and fat mediums in the back. I need to do some experimenting with my Spec 2s but I suspect I might like fat mediums on the back and fat high grips on the front.

Yeah Thats the setup i use, "D". Nice, gripy, and better turning radius.
