Supernitro setups for better handling ?

[Supernitro17]

I am havin a real pain in the ass time keeping my super from spinning while exiting turns. I'm running the 23 r tires and i think that my fantom 15 just throws down too much heat for them to stay stuck. anyone have any tips ?

Unfortunately I don't think many user's have a super nitro. I think we are the select few. I don't have the Fantom engine, but I have the stock .15 and I use the sticky 33r tires and they hold very well on turns.

yeah , the stickys hold up well with the stock engine . but my fantom has a little more than double the power of the .15 fe ... so it needs a bit more to stick . I'm going to start working with some things testing new stuff out soon

I've been looking for other sets of 2.2m tires (foam) but only came up with a set from pro-line. I can't find anywhere that sells them though/ If u have any luck let me know.

 

[Supernitro17]

I've never seen the pro line foams. if you could send me a link to the pro line site with them on it i can probably find a place to get them . or i can have my LHS get me a few sets and mail them to you or something , i noticed you are in NJ so its not very far for me to ship them ( I'm from cherry hill )

Sorry for the miss info. The manufacturer is Powerline. At http://www.brooklynhobbies.com/specials.htm they have them for 28.00 for the set of 4. I did a search and they came up. Let me know what u think.

 

[Supernitro17]

all that came up was the specials page ... so i couldnt really see any info, but if they are like the regular powerline foams they should be pretty damn sticky. i think i may try them.

If u scroll down on the specials page u will see them listed. I'm calling them tomorrow. I hope ur right and they are sticky.

 

[Supernitro17]

as long as you are on a clean surface they should be . I'm not so sure how much stickier they will be than a really good rubber. but i guess we'll find out..

In one of ur old threads there is the powerline tires for 32.00. Here is the link:

if it aint your tires....

if it spins a lot coming out of turns, it could be a lot of things. first, make sure that your caster is set up correctly (use more caster for less exiting steering).

next, make sure all of your toe in/camber/shock settings are CONSISTENT!!! if they are unevenly balanced then it could throw your whole car into a crazy gyroscoping machine. try using less toe-in in the rear (1.5-2.0), and like 0.5 to 1.0 degree toe-out in front.

make sure your shocks are evenly damped (they have the same amount of oil in them). you know you put too much oil if the shaft rebounds when compressed (without the spring).

use less camber change (links are as flat as possible). -1.5 to -2.0 is good for the rear, -1 or maybe none at all for the front.

my reflex nt drives like its on rails on a crappy parking lot with lots of stuff on it. its got a SX12 MS 5 port on it (TOO MUCH POWER!!!)... my rear tires wear a lot faster than my front, and i am using purples all the way around. sometimes i can hear wheelspin (that hum that you hear in an electric car... yeah.. i get that when i floor it after coming out of a turn).

oh yeah, try swaybars in front/rear (not at the same time)
