I was into RC but not hard core fueled cars, just the slightly inferior battery powered but highly detailed Tamiyas.Had a Frog, Super Champ, Wild Willy, Sand Scorcher, Nissan King Cab, Ferrari F40..... But that was like 20 years ago man! But thought me a little about camber, castor and toe settings. The sand scorcher was a VW beetle based chassis and was accurately scaled with it's engine (electric motor) way back at the rear end thus inheriting the nasty Porsche 911 type handling (sudden killer 180 degree oversteer!) and was non-adjustable.I filed down it's suspension parts and added washers elsewhere to change camber angles and even managed to increase front castor by moving it's lower suspension arms forward. When I was done with the car it totally lost it's 911 traits and handled more like a 996!Only a handful remain in my collection today.</blockquote>
