go here http://www.tlracing.com/ProdInfo/Fil...uning_Tips.pdf and you can read what to adjust for the varied effect on handling you want.

ok I got this car handling pretty decent but rear end is a tad loose coming out of the corners. I went to 5-5-3 diff fluid, and stock front and rear springs. I was thinking about going black springs up front, and silvers in the rear, with 5 pistons in rear.

Im loving this truck so far, so glad I bought it...only thing I am not liking is that all 3 of my diffs seem to be leaking and I cant understand why. Im going to change all the fluids tonight to see how low they are again. They have 3 solid days of practice on them now.

Since you are close on setup a thinner rear sway bar might be all you need. Maybe a softer compound tire in rear and medium up front. It's all a fine balance that changes a little each run.

If Diffs leak in seam where the screws hold the two halves together check those screws and the gasket first. On new builds I suggest running the screws in and out a couple of times before final assembly. The screws might not be fully seated.

If the diffs leak at the out drives that would be the O-rings. The updated 2.0 diff cases should not have that problem.

Follow these steps to fix most diff issues. http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...oof-diffs.html

Default Replacement chassis options

I noticed my chassis is bent. Mostly in the back. Are there any good replacement options other than the stock chassis. I saw an aluminum/carbon fiber one but have not seen anyone using it.

What size drill bit do you use to ream the arms?

Can you buy replacement pills for the adjustable hing pin holders or do I have to pay $37 for the plastic pieces?

I was looking thru some pictures of this 2.0 and seen were someone had moved the battery forward and the ESC behind it on the chassis would there be any real advantages to doing this? I kind of liked how it looked and I only race mine no bashing. I know it would require new holes for the batter mounts which is no biggie to do, just wasn't sure of a reason, or advantages as it has been only one I seen like that.

On the 8-e 3.0 we did it to get more steering. I wouldn't do it on truck. I think the truck is fine the way it is.

Rumor has it that the new truck is going to be called the
TLR SCTE 2.0 hacker07 Farewell Edition. That's what I heard anyway.

Picked up one of these from another forum member. Can't wait to get this dialed and on the track.

It's been a long time since i've dabbled with cars. As a kid i raced the original Losi JRX2.
