I have been running Sweep 36's . I think a lot of others are running Solaris 36's. RP's always work good if you can find them.

I was the guy driving the white SC10 that was flipping and crashing all over the place!

I had a lot of fun though. I hope they can setup an easier course with some jumps for us short course guys.

That was a tough course, but I think it was a good layout for the on road cars. The short course trucks are hard to tune in for asphalt since they roll a lot. I don't think they should alter the technicality of the track for 1 class though. You need to adapt to the layout to get the advantage. Shorten the suspension travel, stiffen it up, and maybe shorten the wheelbase. Also jumps may take too long to set up when they need to rush the race program to avoid rain.

I didn't see you out there Sunday, did you get the new Corally car running? Hope to race you next month, the Darkside car handles great!

I think my suspension setup was wayy off. Anytime I went to turn in, it would bite so hard and lift up the inner rear tire and 1/2 second later the car was flipping all over the place. I do admit I have to learn how to drive still.

I do think I was the only 2wd truck out there, the rest of the field were 4wd which has a little advantage. Nevertheless I was hoping to do a lot better.

Get the suspension working right and it will become much easier to get the driving part down. I would think 2wd would be fast on high traction tracks since 4WD would under steer quite a bit. Try putting stiffer springs(red springs), heavier shock oil, and limit the travel.
