Need some setup help.
Buggy is pushing into a slow speed turn (far right corner at loganville)... basically I go into that turn, tap brakes, and when I go to punch it again, it pushes hard, and it kinda forces me to slide my end around.
My current setup on Jammin
40wt shock front - New big bore Silver springs 30wt shock rear - New big bore Silver springs
Not sure about the sway bars (its how you had it last setup before I bought it Danny ;D )
Diff setup
5k front 7k center 1k rear
Thanks!

Or just learn how to turn it, DUH. Turn the wheel on your controller REALLY hard, it will turn more.

Wow....look at all that help you got!!
Okay, you described two different things....off power push at low speeds and loss of traction on power. Can you give me a little more info about what you are experiencing? Could be as simple as tire choice based on track conditions.
I can't remember what size sway bars are on the car to be honest, but that might be a starting point. Could also try changing diff setup.

yeah... I got the 3 stooges that never race trying to help i will try to describe it again (probably will come out the same way!) you know the far right at loganville (its like a switchback / u-turn)? I take the apex of the curve, as I get to the lowest point of the apex, and I give the throttle a little blip with the wheels still turned and instead of taking the same line/path I have been on, it pushes out. What adjustments with the diff would I make to lessen this effect? any other ideas beside joining the flavor of the month club and buy a Kyosho? HA! ;D thanks!

Comm'on now....I give them their fair chance....at least a year before switching. Not going anywhere for a long time now! ;-)
When was the last time you changed your diff fluid?
Looks like you are close on your shock setup....chad bradley posted this fairly recently on the grid:
really hot 95+ (45/35 shock oil) medium 80-90 (40/30 shock oil) cooler 60-70 (37.5/27.5 shock oil)
with the 1.4 6 hole pistons (silver springs)
I'll try and call you tonight when I get off from work.

I know that when my Jammin got a little age on it, the steering servo saver got a little weak and would allow the car to push at times, so you might check that and replace it if you can't get it to hold well. Basically, turn the wheel to full lock on the radio, then try to turn the wheels back to center. If you can do it fairly easily, then I would replace it.

Schmitty, No way I'll even try to advise on buggy setup I'm having similar issues with the Red Revo. Tell you what....I'll use your buggy setup and you use my MT setup and let's see what happens ;D Seriously....I like Gene's suggestion and coincidentally the Professor said basically the same thing Saturday night. Part of our problems could be relative to a weak servo. We may think we have a push when it's really just not turning. Hold the front end down till it bottoms out then see if the steering will turn lock to lock. Yeah Kansas, I'm old school... Now Ravager....He got kicked out early

What servo is Schmitty using on steering?
