Hey folks - new here!
I recently built a small dirt track in my backyard and was running a 1/24 car that worked great. I picked up a WL Toys A959-A 1/18 scale RC, and unfortunately, some of the turns in my track are too tight for it. The car seems to have a very wide turning radius. The wheels don't actually turn that far relative to other RCs I've had.
Is there any way to make the front wheels turn harder? It seems pretty limited by the hardware where the wheels attach (knuckles?). I'm not optimistic, but thought I'd check here first.
Also, would love recommendations for solid RCs good in dirt/light jumps 1/18 scale to 1/24 scale in size. I've got an HBX 18859E on order to give a shot. Really liked my 1/24 HBX Wildrider but it stripped its pinion gear. Only a few places stock parts for that car, and shipping is expensive and takes a while. That model seems to be discontinued. I did order the new pinion gear though. Something higher quality would be fine too - Losi Mini T 2.0 looks cool but I think 2WD might not work great on my track. Here's me running the 1/24 scale on my track (and thinking to myself - this used to be faster....then I took it apart and saw the torn up pinion gear that is probably slipping a lot)
