Help for Keyboard racers added: 20.08.2012

Category: Car setup     Views: 3818     Rating:    


May or may not help depending on racing style,
But try increasing the drag brake more than u would think,
As the car gets faster keep increasing it.
For spec 1/10 i use 15-20 dragbrake,
For 1/10 modified i put it up near 40 which i know sounds rediculous becasue it seems most people have very low drag brake.
However since a keyboard keys are either on/off try using the drag brake like having partial throttle.
Just got an 11.042 on carpet 2 with keyboard so somthing must be working

Posted by: Pedro Coelho (PT) on 7.9.2012 9:35:16 (UTC) I'm still waiting for my USB adaptor. Meanwhile can only drive with high drag brake values (above 80%) using the keyboard...

Its definatly better when you get an adaptor. But at least for now hte drag brake has been fixed.
