Buggy footage at half speed.

Don't think I've posted this here before, apols if I have.

Sound is essential Sounds more like a scrambler, but lets you know the grade of engine your dealing with, even if it's small.

The flick is just something I managed to pull off and miss the camera mans feet, but only just. The maneuver would have been complete if I'd been able to boot it into a 4 wheel drift, but... I actually figured spraying my mates feet with thumb sized pebbles at that close range might be impolite.

The tuning quiz in the later part shows clearly why you can't stress enough to warm the engine before tuning it. If you'd fired that up as your first buggy on xmas morning you'd have assumed it was rich as hell and leaned it way out. Then had it cut out, die and be a nightmare to start warm or at all.

I take it you can't edit the title?

Ah yes, the Scandinavian flick. The Losi does like to do them.

Title corrected.

Those few bursts of speed about half way through sounded like you had a perfect tune.

Very, very close. Towards the end, the "Tuning update" you'll see it was slightly lean. After that the post on here with the idle tuning method (extreme Rcmods) prompted me to make it 1/8th turn richer and it now always drops to that burbling purr of an idle within a few seconds and still screams like a banshee the instant you hit the trigger.

It's only about 1/2 turn from factory, nothing more needed.

Ah yes, the Scandinavian flick. The Losi does like to do them.

It takes the ... turn one way on the brakes to compress the suspension, then rock the car the other way on the 'faint' roll, when the weight transfers to get a slide going and do the turn... from the Scandinavian flick. Not sure I've seen the SF used to do a 180 on the power though.

Would love a little more front end grip at speed on the power, maybe a little stiffer centre diff oil so I can 4 wheel drift it more and it's a perfect set up.
