Tight/closed turns

[Kiteclub]

Hey everyone,
I’m running a Tekno EB48 2.0 on high-grip carpet with stock setup, and I’m trying to get it to rotate better in tight/closed turns.


Last weekend I tested an Xray XB8E (’24) and I immediately noticed a big difference in how quickly it turned in and rotated through the corners — it felt much more agile and precise.


Now I’m wondering what setup changes I can make on my EB48 2.0 to get a similar feeling.
Should I adjust caster, diff oils, rear toe, or sway bars first?


Any advice or example setups that help the car rotate tighter without losing rear stability would be really appreciated!


Thanks in advance

I would start with less rear toe

Anytime you're on a really high grip surface less rear toe is always recommended.

If you're whipping tight corners a lot, less traction in the rear goes a long way. I trim rows of studs off of the rear tires so when I push the truck hard in a corner it will drift a bit. There's a balance to this. You want to trim just enough to help you in the corners but no more. Some experimentation at your track will be required.
