is it a way to make a setup for an overland in order to race on-road???
I like my overland of road but is it possible to race with it in a flat road without "problems" on turns or hard turns?????
i would also suggest gettin a lower profile tire, get wider rims as well, because the center of gravity is high. try find a different body as well, seems to me that the original bodies add the high center of gravity
kyosho sells low-down shocks for the overland, I presume these are usefull for on-road racing
There is also the "low-down" spring set. They do make a difference. I was racing last weekend using the oil filled shocks and although the surface used was the RCP offroad extension pack, the racers using the low-down shocks and springs sets were running much better while I flipped like crazy (of course, some of my problem is that I can't drive an Overland like an F1, duh). I could have probably used a lower weight oil, but I didn't though the oil-filled shocks appear to work great on "actual" jumps.
the lowdown shock set is almost required for stability if your racing. body choice is also important. the longer and lower the better.
i've tired
pajero
land cruiser
bmw x5
mercedes g55
hummer h1
so far i think the worst has been the g55 and the best the x5 and h1. i hope to have the harrier and the porsche when it coems out for testing too.
from what i could tell, the land cruiser was one of the most popular during the cup races but then even the x5 was really new and not as easy to get.

you can't go much smaller in tyresize because the housing of the rear diff will touch the ground
You want too what now !
