I have noticed they are close, but no rubbing on mine. Id suggest just getting out a sanding drum on a dremel and slowly grind away till you have clearance.

What motor, esc, and battery are you running now?(I've been running a 1410 castle and the sidewinder sct esc and still suffering from the problem)

Have someone take a vid of your truck on the jump face you are having a problem with. I'd be willing to bet you are blowing through the travel in the rear. Essentially what FAO did was remove weight from the rear of the truck.

Looks good bud. Try running it as is. Then after a couple races, remove the rear & center chassis braces. See if it makes a difference. It made a big difference for me, more than I expected.

Anybody try running heavier oil in the rear than the front? I notice everybody runs heavier in the front? Why is this? Thinking about going with 32.5F/35R this weekend.

I don't tune my truck unless there are handling issues. Barillms, I'm assuming you have a handling issue that is causing you to want to make this change. What is the issue? Generally, when I start with a new vehicle, I spring balance first (no oil in the shocks) and then oil balance. This gives me a really good starting point and I've had a number of people tell me that my shock packages feel perfect (always awesome getting positive comments about your package).

How do you go about spring balancing and oil balancing? Thanks.

The reason the front is usually set heavier than the rear is because the front end gets the brunt of the force first. When you approach a jump or bump, all the weight and force of the car that hits the jump first is the front, the rear just follows what the front does, but has less energy pushing it.

I noticed it at first and then checked my drop and it was at max or almost max. Once adjusted to 120mm give or take 1-2 mm, it did not rub/bind up.

So, what springs/oils did you end up with using that method?

Will Tekno truggy A-arms fit on the SCT 410.3? If so it might make a cool monster truck option.

Here's mine doing a parking lot run.
