I took my Blazing Blazer out for a run yesterday, for a bit of a laugh,.........BOING,BOING,BOUNCE,BOUNCE!   And that was on smooth tarmac.

Well, my King Hauler is finally in one bit, the MFU is all working, and its sat looking lovely on the living room table   I'e run it round the house a few times, but haven't run it outdoors yet, with the Pole Trailer on the back. Here's looking forward to some decent weather!

I had some "Magpie" issues with my Losi XXX-S Graphite Plus. It has just about every piece of the Matt Francis Red alloy bling on it that Trinity made!   Looks cool though. Come to think of it, the XXX-S has a pretty funky looking chassis anyway

Excellent job! I like the idea of using an old DIN jack for the rear lightin socket in the back of the cab.

I'll hold my hands up to not knowing anything about TT01's, but have some experience of this problem with other touring cars, most noticebly on TC3's. It's down to the corner weights being uneven. First job is to make sure that all the lower suspension arms drop by the same amount -  this is known as "droop". Then, lift the front of the car in the middle of the chassis, and see if it lifts one front wheel of the ground first. If it does, there's your problem! If say, the right front wheel lifts first, then you need to increase the spring pre-load on the left rear, until both front wheels lift at exactly the same time. then do the same for the rear wheels.  If you still have a car that oversteers, and different springs won't cure it, then try reducing the droop on the rear suspension lower arms. This will stop as much weight transfering forward, and should lessen the tendancy to oversteer. Take too much droop out the rear, and you will have understeer.

Hope this helps, and makes sense
