You want soft tires for that, you're set up properly, don't sweat it.

Sure, your tires sound good.

Shocks in outside hole in front arm, 3rd hole out in rear. Go in 1 hole on all arms for outdoor and stiffen shock oil by 10-15 for outdoors.

35 wt front, 25-30wt rear. The further out on the rear arm you go the softer your shock oil choice needs to be

2 degrees front camber, 3 rear

18 tooth pinion indoors, 19-20 outdoors

keep the Titan oiled up well. Some of the faster racers have been blasting the endbell with wd40 alot, then adding more lube to the bushings.

20,000wt diff fluid lightly packed into rear diff. Don't fill it all the way up.

Battery in the middle or forward positions

1-2 degrees ft toe out

ride ht: Ft arm slightly below level, rear level with the front.

spend some time tweaking the slipper

Here is the Setup I use for my Slash. It seems to be pretty good.

Here is the Blank setup sheet so you can document what your doing to your truck.

I'm going to try that Slayden set up at my race tomorrow. We just made some changes to the track, and the new dirt is nice and tacky. I may go down 5 points on the shock oil though...it's gonna be in the low 40's all day.
