Handling of my (which in suspension terms is not dis-similar to the Indy) Locost was transformed when I lowered the pressures to 18psi all round.
Cheers,

I run 18 PSI as well. I find that 2psi make quite a difference. I ran the fronts different to the rears for a short time and found that the car can
be make more understeery or oversteery this way. Tune your car to suit your weight balance and handling preferance.
