For some weird reason, my ESC and rx wouldn't fit right with the ESC on the left.

for instance, it is a common issue that the car either feels a little lazy or lacks on power steering. yes weight can help, but what else has everyone found to work?

Off power steering for me was fantastic, but I had an on power push. I am heading to the track tonight to test some changes. Shock oil weights are 32.5 front/27.5 rear, black springs up front, tapered 2x1.6 pistons all around. Camber is -2º up front, -1º rear. I also have a 3mm spacer on the steering rack for ackerman adjustment. I changed the front from 4 to 3 on the trailing axle. I am hoping this gives me much better corner steering with less push.

I have 3 race days and 3 practice days on the car. Everything is still 100% out of the box parts. I am not a consistent hit the same mark level driver either. If it is on the track to hit, i hit it.

Did you re-adjust the wheelbase when going from 4 to 3mm trailing?

I did the 3 hub in the front middle on the wheelbase and changed the Ackerman as per the kit says to set it with the 3 hub. That fixed all the middle and on power push.

When you're a member they send you coupon codes for $$ of the price of purchases. The higher the dollar value of your purchase, the more money you get off.

Works out to about 10-25% I believe. If I remember correctly the codes thye email to members are for a greater discount percentage than the regular codes.

they seemed to standardize it to 15% now for the common through the year stuff.

Before it was like 16.7% at the best discount, and before that it was like 20% at the best discount.


For what you guys are hearing, what springs do you guys recommend in general for the vehicle? Don't want to end up with a bunch of stuff I don't use lol.

This woudl be a loose conditions (yes, I know guys will say go with the RM, but want to give MM a go if I do try it out)

well, I would have some blacks for the rear. typically you go softer rear and stiffer front. But, greens are already pretty stiff. I would get black rears though for sure
