My now wife bought me an HPI RS4 2nd gen about 12 years ago. Unfortunately it sat unused on my shelf for the last 11 years. I was at hobby hobby and saw a small jug of car nitro fuel, and decided to see if I could get it going. I tried the pull cord, engine was stuck, removed glow plug, poured in some after run oil, put some more in the carb, waited a couple of days. Tried the pull cord, engine turned and seemed to be smooth. I tried today, with the 11 year old glow plug, to start it (did upgrade receiver to 2.4ghz) and was amazed when it started on the first pull.

Anyways, it was a blast, was amazed how fast it was, however it suffers from severe understeer, and I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to correct on this model?

Thanks,

Tom
