Well I actually got a quick chance to do some racing yesterday for the first time in a month and felt like the Osiris was much worse and the t20 felt a tonne better to drive than it did before? but yeah I guess those laptimes as they are still quick as hell pretty much says that pace wise they are the same

KingBlazeIVCHILLII drove the DOM RC properly in a race situation on a track I love (dominus maximum by Scrazor) and the car was wanting to slide out on me in every fucking turn, I actually had a hard time getting it round the track without the back coming away from me and it used to be so EASY to drive it round. Maybe just me, but the DOM RC feels a LOT more slidey/ hard to drive since the patch?! ?!

A couple of months ago I finally found a proper setup for driving the Dom RC with keyboard, but now I have to nurse it through every corner. |

weirdtwitter recently I've spent a lot of time with the Sabre Custom now that its handling is alright again, I'll have to drive the PW Dominator some more before coming back to you on that. jeffreyb1990 cars have indeed become more responsive than they were before. This is more in line with how I remember the driving being back in the early PC/old-gen days, this is what R* originally intended. I can imagine that it's kinda fiddly on keyboard now, but personally I felt the driving was odd and now I see why. Cars keep their level of grip better over bumps than before and steering response is more comparable to 30fps which makes me feel right at home. The downside is that cars have more aggressive turning over bumps, risking to spin the car out if you're turning too much at the time of hitting bumps. That goes for all cars btw, not just the Dominator.

CHILLI can 100% confirm the fact that you're more likely to spin out going over bumps if you're tapping / turning the wheels at the same time, a lot of the tracks I race regular have bump boosts in corners (stunt track pieces) and it is now like being on ice going over them. I actually don't mind cos it kinda equates to cancelling out any boost you could get from hitting them, by taking into account the % chance you'll spin out...I've just been missing them out now. this also explains my issues with the DOM RC, it was already a bit of a bitch in corners and now when you put that together with going over bumps...it takes a min to get used to it now.

Anyone fancy recommending a good sabre custom turbo set up as it's been mentioned? 😀

Oh when I was using the pisswasser dominator the other day I put my poor driving of it to lack of practice but that would make more sense as I used to find the dominator really easy due to using it so much but when I tried going round North Loop in it on xbox one I couldn't get anywhere near my 5:03 PB only just managed to get below a 5:10

I've had a weeks holiday, forgive me if I'm late to the party! Multiquote time!!!!!!!1 Feel free to post / dm that massacro RC setup as and when you figure it out Wasn't aimed at me, but as a massive fan of the Massacro I thought I'd chip in... It's no magical set-up in fairness - it's pretty typical for what you'd expect from me: Full performance mods (goes without saying) Full armor No bumpers Stock exhaust No fenders - just no! Stock hood No roll cage - I believe these add vents to the car and may upset the balance No skirts - no rice here! Big f'n spoiler - GT wing... best for this car IMO Rock crawler wheels - bulletproof so donuts don't result in blown tyres! Maybe just me, but the DOM RC feels a LOT more slidey/ hard to drive since the patch?! ?! Interesting you say this, I used it last week in a playlist - felt much nicer than it used to. Definitely feels like its changed, for the better IMO. Anyone fancy recommending a good sabre custom turbo set up as it's been mentioned? 😀 I'll have a play around later and see what I can make of it. |

Anyone fancy recommending a good sabre custom turbo set up as it's been mentioned? 😀 Okay finally got round to having a look at the sabre. The setup I currently use is as follows: Max performance upgrades. Bumpers - stock Chassis - stock (no rollcage, they fuck with the handling) Engine block- stock (you're mad if you want to pay $40k+ for a bit of paint) Air filters - stock Exhaust - stock Grille - stock Hood - stock Interior - stock Truck - stock Wheels - Rock Crawlers (Off Roads) for a neutral feel with a abit of anti-roll. If it's too oversteery try Fujiwara (Tuners) for a bit of grip at the rear. Hydraulics - lowest (reduces bounce over kerbs/bumps from what I've noticed) The normal Sabre Turbo for me feels like one of the better handling Muscle cars, I keep the stock setup as much as possible to prevent displacement of mass. I avoid using the Sabre if I'm going anywhere near a bumpy surface, so I normally only use it around the airport. I'll have a play about with the minor modifications to see if anything makes it better over bumps. |

Do the biases and roll properties of rims apply to both the stock and chrome versions? Thanks.

I'm renown for being a bit of a cheapskate when wheel testing, so I've always used the chrome tyres (they're mostly free for me), I've not seen any difference between the reported properties for the normal rims. |

I am felling like weirdtwitter. it just wants to go every corner. Thanks I would advise to try out mercie wheels from the sports category. Those wheels make the car easier to drive. I have yet to try out fujiwara wheels (tuners) to see if they're any good, but according to their properties they might be. |
