Hi everyone!
My 4s LiPo has arrived and i have taken the new MT410 to the forest. I had a lot of fun, and my custom shell had a tough time.
However, I am not yet happy with the overall performance. I decided for a short wheelbase RC because i wanted to do wild stuff that my short course cannot do, like standing backflips. Those are out of the question, though. The best i can do from a standstill is roll the truck on it's back like a turtle. While i managed some frontflips during jumps by pulling the brakes right after lift off, backflips won't work during jumps either. I was also hoping to see backflips off of logs laying around, but no dice.
Looking at videos, people seem to have very granular control of angular momentum during jumps, and can easily rotate the truck in either direction. I am not yet an experienced driver, so my control is probably lacking. But it just seems like i don't get that kind of response from the truck at all, no matter what i do.
I'm not sure where i start adressing this, so i was hoping to get some pointers from you guys. Is 4s just not enough power? Do i have the wrong tires? Too much drag from the body? Any input is appreciated.
Some technical specs:
-Hobbywing ezrun max8 ESC (punch set to 5/5)
-Tenshock X802 v2, 2200kv motor
-15t pinion
-Proline Badlands 3.8
-Goldbat LiPo, 4s, 5000mAh, rated 55c
