Stampede XL5 suspension

[navyflier]

I have a question for all of you "Pede" and other r/c truck owners out there. Just took my pede out for her first run today (what a blast!), but I have one concern. I don't seem to get a lot of ground contact with the front wheels if I am running qith any amount of decent speed. This of course affects steering and control. Is this normal? (would account for the cool wheelies and jumping ability) but, ss there anyway I could help this? Lower the front, raise the back? Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

And for anyone looking for a FUN all around r/c truck the Stampede is AWESOME!

The Pede is fun........

I have both the Pede and Rustler -
Both have inter-changeable parts.....

As for the front tires sliding.....You will note, the front tires will slide in a turn, when powering through the turn

If you let off of the throttle - the tires will have more traction.
You do not have let ALL THE WAY OFF.......just decrease the throttle, and the front tires become more effective.

-----------------------------

If you try to change the suspension - You might end up with worse problems.

There are other option for tires........But with the high center of gravity - You will be rolling it over in sharp turns

The Rustler has a lower center of gravity........

Another solution - I believe RPM or someone has LONG ARMS.......A wider stance

that's good advise... I wouldn't mess with the suspension too much. Want to convert to a Wide-Pede? http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=713098
