I have an Ofna Z10 MkII. The problem that I am having is that I can't get it to turn very well. All the other cars corner tight, and I have to rebound off the wall to turn. The car has ball diffs in the front and back. I have been told to loosen the front diff and add some toe out, what else could I do to make it corner better? thanks for the help

Universals maybe. Sway bar, less caster if that's possible.

Long story. BUT, I do know that less caster will decrease the steering capability of your ride going into a turn..........You want more. This is accomplished on most kits using different caster blocks (pic)

Adding toe out on the front end alone is a good suggestion. But not on the rear - It will leave your ride "twitchy". You can do this by adjusting the steering linkage accordingly.
You might consider testing new spring rates around you local track as well. And also your tire compound, insert compound, etc.
W/ the help of your fellow racers, you will get "hooked up" to the tarck eventually through trial and error.
Good luck !!

Oh here' something else for you. Its a R/C glossary at HPI . It has just about every term (ex. caster) you can think of..........And then some you don't think of as well.
