Turning radius

Anyone figured out a way to make the truck turn tighter?
That's the pain in my opinion, you need a big space to drive the thing.

MotoX,
I'm a little further north than you are, i live in a town called "rohnert park" its near Santa Rosa in Sonoma County. I think i'm about an hour or two away from you depending on traffic.

Oh and can someone give me the website for the Tamiya lightning R/C car? I would like to get one too.

I've never seen the truck, but most servos have a choice of holes. Going to a hole further out on the steering servo arm will make the steering quicker.

We used to unwind some of the windings on the
motors on the old slotcars that we used to race.
Maybe that would work here also ...

Im not even sure if the Car you guys are talking about uses standard batteries BUT if if does here is a picture of a 7 cell battery. See the extra cell side ways at the end ? It increases the voltage of the pack. The Cells are 1.2 volts each, 6 x 1.2 = 7.2 so 7 x 1.2 =8.4
