Hi all,
After selling my two previous FGs, I have bought another. This time its the one i wanted- the LWB. This is mainly as the Bodyshell range is better
Hoping to purchase one of the discontinued Bmw 320i STW shells...love the old touring cars!
I got a fair bit with the car when i bought it. It was actually listed on ebay and has previously been raced at Mendip. Spare tyres as well as a couple of small boxes of bits. Came with a good radio system too as well as lots of bits i would have bought such as the carbon side guards, FG intake, ali arms and discs all round. Also has an EVO chassis
Just need a couple of pointers from the more experienced of you out there..
After doing a little bit of car park running, the car has HIDEOUS understeer! From previous racing experience in 1/10 and also from reading posts on here, Tires seem to be a BIG thing on these. Perhaps, the ones i have are not suited to the colder weather at the moment as they are of the harder C/D compounds, but it still runs on either on or off the brakes/throttle, even with temperature in them. I have adjusting things which i knew worked with 1/10 such as softer roll bar/springs settings but there wasn`t much of an improvement.
It does also have a Limted slip in it, which appears to be adjustable as it has a grub screw. Not sure what i`m doing with it though.... All i know is that coming out of turns you can still hear a lot of wheelspin through one wheel.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Although i am just running it in local car parks, i am keen to race next year!
