Try flipping the steering blocks left to right, facing the ball down. I've heard that's the TRF method lolkaiser wrote:bump steers like a mofo though.

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: What rerelease?
Frankly, Tamiya might sell the most R/C cars, but most of their vintage buggies are pretty crap for anything else than bashing (and even that...). Almost all cars have a major issue that will crop up on modern tracks, especially if it's a track with lots of big jumps...
If you use a Top Force (or any DF-01, really), at least get an alloy front gearbox bottom, so you don't trash your front gearbox anytime you have a front impact. Also, alloy motor mount, unless you like melting the rear gear box.

Re: What rerelease?
Wow, no love for Tamiya on the track....
Tires make the biggest difference if you plan on putting ANY off road vehicle on a track. And this goes for Tamiya as well. If you can find a way to get modern rubber on any of the re-re's they will be much easier to drive fast. The main thing with Tamiya is to attack the weak points of the model you plan to use. Whether its massive bump steer, weak parts, or whatever. Some are easier to fix than others, just depends on how much attention you feel like paying to it.
Know the limits of the chassis. Keep smooth and steady and out of the pipe. You'd be surprised who you could beat with the Pepe Le Pew style of driving.
Personally, I think the Nova Fox with modern rubber would do well. Don't overpower it and like I said before, keep it out of the pipe.
