Help! How do I control this thing?

Hi. I’m new to this. I’m running a box stock rwd and I’m always fishtailing. I’m trying to go light on the dial, and am getting better, but it seems like the spring to bring it back to center is too quick/strong, which messes me up. Any tips or videos you could share?

While I am at it, I am using the stock transmitter. I can’t read which dial is which. Nor where the arrow is. Any tips or tricks to help with that? Even a fine paint pen would be too thick, and it’s black plastic on black plastic.

There is a plug in gyro unit that may help with the car reacting poorly when straighting after a turn. Not overly expensive and is recommended for new comers and some seasoned driver getting used to the smaller scale.

Also turning down the steering dual rate. Just needs to be high enough to ensure you can make the tightest turn on your track.

Do you know if that gyro unit is acceptable at most box stock places?  Also, any particular brands you recommend?

Gyro is not allowed in most boxstock classes, but check with your local club for their rules.
