I have always been kind of partial to Associated RC stuff except when I was running dirt oval then there is no other that can compair to Custom Works sprint cars and latemodels. when I first got into off road I had the 2WD associated sct but quickily wanted to get into the 4x4 class so sold it and got a new associated 4wd SCT and ran it a couple times and loved how it handled I could turn it no matter where I hit a corner it jumped nice and other than I hated the belt drive and morking on it was a royal pain in the azz. However my brother had same truck and hated it, and got a Tenscte 4x4 and sold the other, I liked how his was so simple to work on anything on it and soon got rid of the associated and got one of these as well. and I like it very much I cant turn it as well as my other 4x4 but I think that is just my driving and some setup adjustments needed. All in all I am glad I ended up with it over the associated.

Big thanks to JR Mitch last night at New Red Hobbies, after the first qualifier on a super high bite indoor track, he gave me some pointers afterwards because my truck was all over the place. He even gave me a set of slicks to run for the main since the tires I was using were way too soft (sidewalls) and made it want to roll over every turn.
Looks like he was doing pretty good with his -3 chassis and his new shock package.
He didnt run the main, but he TQ'd by a lap and I believe he got down into the low 17's for lap times. I was only hitting mid to low 18's.

Anyone have a good, easy to drive setup? Something not as twitchy? I'm running the Dunford high bite and my rear end is loose and coming around. I am really looking for something less reactive. I havent been racing in a while and my nerves are getting the best of me, I just need to calm it down a bit.
A few things I tried yesterday were removing the rear chassis brace (i'm running the MIP's) and I swapped out the aluminum top plate for the stock plastic one.
I also used to negative expo on the steering.
Thanks in advance

No, I havent tried either of those, thanks for the tip.
My next move was going to be taking it back to the box setup and go from there.

I did move my battery all the way back...no noticeable difference. Never thought about servo speed. My truck turns very well so maybe that will work. Worth a shot

Thinner oil in the rear diff than the front (the same oil front/rear is always too aggressive for me)
Try no sway bars - sounds crazy, but it got my truck from being on top of the track, to being "in the track".
Short Ackermann - this really smoothed out my steering high speed, especially in sweepers, but gave me more low speed mid-corner steering.
