Just finished up my sct410.3

I've only been able to run my truck once about 3 weeks ago. It ran pretty well and I don't think I had the best tires available to make it totally planted. However, even given that, I felt my rear was too loose. (I don't think the tires were that far off from optimal)
Has anyone messed with the rear anti-squat? My rear toe is already at -4 deg so my next step would be to try to decrease the anti squat. thoughts?

Just curious as to when the rear end gets loose. Is it when trying to make a turn after a high speed section or all the time? Mine is pretty planted. I did drop my brake strength and decreased my rear droop because my nose was drooping too when I hit the brakes at the end of the straight. However, I felt that was on me. I need to brake earlier and no so hard. I was also oversteering trying to get into the turn. I did some 360s last week at the end of the straight, but, after making the adjustments, I was good.
As for the antisquat, I never run more than 2 degrees and I mostly run 1 degree. It really keeps the rear end planted into a turn and I don't feel I give up too much traction on power.

A great way to have the truck brake straighter and more controlled is to take kickup out of the front. I have been running the least amount of front kickup for some time now (1 dot down on the A block and 1 dot up on the B block) and recently convinced some guys to try it on their vehicles. All who have tried it have only had positive results.

Just line it up and push it in. The bellcrank will hold it there so you can run the screw in.

I was at a big race in Ohio and saw this cool trailer in the parking lot. Had to take a pic. Then one day on my way to work I saw the same trailer in my neighbors drive. I could not believe that I live right around the corner from this guy and we don't know each other. Anyone know who this guy is? PM me if anyone knows. Thanks

Less anti squat = a more shallow angle of the rear hinge pins correct? This would allow the rear to squat upon acceleration which would increase weight transfer to the rear. correct? More weight to the rear = more rear traction.
If I'm misunderstanding you or there is an error in my thinking please let me know.

I don't think having all four is a needed expense personally unless something has changed on this vehicle versus the V1.
Tekno in general is trying to balance cost relative to what they can offer you in a package. It appears they added a lot of goodies to the vehicle, you will need to determine what you feel that is not there is a must have.
Personally, just start with the front hinge pin brace instead of all 4. Servo horn as well.
You can also use a cheaper horn assuming the steering assembly is the same on the new car. I did that with the V1s, just raised up the position of the access point on the steering arm then flipped the button head screw to come up from the bottom of the servo horn to clear it. Never had and issue and got the angles right too.

I am still hoping they will release some upgraded shock towers.
I am impressed with the full option shock kits and will probably pick those up as well. The stock plastic spring retainer nuts always spin on my trucks and i always upgraded to the alum ones to prevent that.
Anyone recommend stocking up on the 5mm axle nuts? Curious how they last?

Thanks in advance.

Where is it rubbing? I assume you aren't running the mudguards like the EB48 has on the front of the rear arms, correct? They don't come with the .3 kit if that helps. I know on my DE wheels some of the ribs where it tapers down to the rim rub on the rear carriers on top where the link goes.

Some of my rims work without hitting, and some do hit. And yes it is probably just the ribs on the inside of the rims hitting something.
Just thought if I could dremel something on the arm of my 410.3 instead of having to dremel the ribs on the rims, it would be easier.
