Tune the high speed needle first, and once that is in the right range start tuning the low end.

thanks. i leaned out the high speed needle so that it reaches about 212f. i only have about 2-3 more tanks to go. they say to tune the engine to 90% power, so i think i'll make it even leaner, so that it reaches about 225f.

The RTR has a cast aluminum knuckle, I couldnt tell you what kind of aluminum it is, but it is definately not nearly as strong as the machined 7075 ones included in the pro kit.

the rtr knuckles are indeed cast, which makes them more brittle. the pro's are hard coated machined aluminum, machined from a solid block.

well, i ran my buggy off-road for the first time today. it ran perfectly, and absolutely carves into the corners. however, when i go off the jump, the rear end kicks up pretty bad. i think my oil is too thin, 25 up front and 40 in the rear. i think the rear end was slapping the jump and kicking it into the air. i'll try by raising the ride height a bit, and going to 40 up front and 60 in the rear. anything you all can recommend?

you have the oils backwards. You are having problems with the rear on jumps becuse of the shock oils. also if you are going nose down after the jump hold the throttle in the air and that should bring the nose up. I always would run 40w up front and 30 or 35 in the rear. Try that you will see a huge difference.

also, do you think that the stock clutch springs on the pro kit are a little too weak? i am thinking of getting some firmer clutch springs.

I thought that the stock spring were a bit on the weak side, but instead of changing them I just lightened up the shoes a bit to raise the engagement point, which is alot easier since you dont have to take the stupid clutch apart. As for shock oil I really like 40 front and 27.5 rear with the stock pistons.

Anybody have a part number for the new brake disks? These stock brakes are terrible, so grabby. Until I get the new brakes though I'll try playing with the linkage some, mabye use springs instead of fuel tubing.

should i stay with the stock suspension springs? or softer in the rear?

Stick with the stock springs they seem to work very well everywhere.
