ESCUDO help

dazGT3 · Mar 16, 2002

I just won the ESCUDO Pikes Peak car and I would like to know the best way to modify the beast. Usually I just stick the biggest turbo on a car and away I go. But I don't want to screw this one up.
Could anyone pleez tell me the best parts and set up or whatever you've done with your ESCUDO (if you have one).

thnx daz :cheeburga

About the only thing the Escudo is good for is the races around ovals or rallying if you like wall riding. It's just too powerful and doesn't handle.

Just mod that thing up and drive the test course and speedway races with it. On other tracks that car is useless.

It wasnt designed for road races so dont bother going on any circuit with major corners. Keep it stock if you wanna drive it on rallly. If you want fast do the wheely trick with the turbo upgrade and see fast. Search the forum for the settings on the wheely trick.

Actually the Escudo can be tuned to be competitive on other courses besides Super Speedway and the Test Course. I've been able to beat the "big three" (787B, R390 GT1 LM, and GT-One) at Tokyo in a 10 lap race in Arcade Mode. This, in my opinion, is the most underrated car in GT3, mainly because people tend to look at how bad it handles in stock form and immediately put it down without attempting to fix the massive understeering problem.

I'll try to get some settings to post once my cousin stops hogging my TV. That is, if I don't go to sleep before then

Escudo that turns thats a new one. Mind you Ive only just figured out how to use the toe in/out camber and LSD in the setup so I wil try to tweak it when I can be bothered to get my rally licence and do all the rally events. But untill then I will live an EscudoLEss Life. Still think it shouldve stayed on pikes peak though.
