This is my first r/c car, Tamiya TA03R. Actually, it was TA03RS Porsche 911 GT1 but it's hard to find the body to fit the short chassis so I converted it to the normal length chassis, TA03R. I'm experimenting different kind of setup on unprepared asphalt surface. The following is the setup that work best for me now. With this setup the car is almost neutral in the turn. If you have a good setup on any kind of track, please email to me. I'll post the setup here.
