Bending Corners

I'm about to tear my car down and try
a completely different setup, so before I do I'll post the setup
from Bending Cornerz that a few people have been asking for.

My setups don't work for everyone,
generally they lack rear end grip and have a ton of initial
steering. It took me years to get used to driving a car like this
but if you can drive it smooth enough I feel like it can keep up
with anyone.

The track is a small tight outdoor
asphalt track, medium grip.
