well id unscrew the dumb supercharger first and play with your trim. see how much that helps before cracking open the steering.

What's the supercharger do in an electric car? Cool the motor?
Actuator steering is often more powerful and/or reliable than their motorized (servo-based) cousins. With a proportional actuator driver, you can get far better performance for your money.
Alternately-get a Micro Joule flight pack (made by cirrus), it comes with a 2.1 gram servo, a 3 gram reciver, and a 1.5 gram ESC. That'll give you proportional controls, ad it'll run happily with 4 cells.
Lithiums are great!
Triple the speed...
four times the duration....
And they explode if you crash them too hard!

musclemachines

Post by jmays »

i bought one of those muscle machines and have played with it a few times, the tires are hard and it spins all the time, the motor on the fronts of the cars make the front real heavy and it bottoms out, the hard wired motor, and so on and so on, i was never too crazy about its drive ability but its cool to look at.i guess if you put some serious time on one it has great potential, it just seems that all aspects of the car needs tweaking, mine is squiraly as hell, all over the place.

but there is good news i saved a tone on my car insurance.. :lol:
