Try setting your avc on your dx5 to (steering ~18%) (throttle 0%) (priority 100%) it seems to work just right for me but it could be different for you due to different driving styles. love your content bro keep it coming.
@theAessaya2 жыл бұрын
Personally I love AVC on my Kraton, I've specifically bought a receiver with this function for it. Though I do keep it on the down low, but it does help me keep it straight on rough terrain. In most AVC-e4nabled transmitters you should be able to adjust the "steering priority" option, setting that to higher will make the transmitter lower your base steering bias value (how much gyro assist you're getting) depending on how much you're turning the steering wheel, with maximum value completely turning the assist off at the endpoints of the wheel. And throttle bias will auto-reduce the throttle if it sees your vehicle turn, so it helps with cornering and furthermore helps to retain control when it starts to fishtail on harder launches. But the best part of AVC is how easy it is to just turn it off when you want it :)

Man id love to have one. I have no idea what 1/8 truggy id get but so far from what iv research the talion exb is takeing the lead. Do you think it is more durable then a old school HPI savage x 4.6 nitro ? I use to have one and I was happy with the durability. I also wanted the HPI Vorsa S truggy ( green one ) but it does not have a center tower brace and the front seems to sit to low for me . The HPI Savage XL v2 flux ( the orange one ) seems cool ( i loved my old school savage 4.6 nitro ) with the longer chassis but it has a weak servo and dean connectors id have to change. Team Corally has great components yet there durability is just terrible from what people have told me. The Team Corally Kronos XTR roller does come with a center brace and carbon fiber so mybie that would be improveing over there last one that never had that. No bumpers on there gunshow or tiny weak ones. What do you think bud ?

Lol it’s just spins out and does donuts and wastes tires. It’s dumb, I don’t see how anyone can run anything so fast and not destroy it. So I tried 2s 100c batteries and it’s still way stupid even at 75%. It’s almost undrivable. Is that what diffing out is? Just shiz going nutty? Or is it like an open diff/no limited slip?
