Anything you can do to help slow down the steering will help also as with the right tires the buggy will be very twitchy and change direction quickly.
Ok I just got done switching my setup to a high bite carpet setup from petite Rc. It feels. Very different than what I am used to. I switched to my schelle alum chasis, 60w rear and 40w front shock fluid, Setup called for 1.3 Pistons but I only had the 1.6 and 1.7 I think they are so I left those. I changed all the shims and hinge pin hangers etc... I am used to a light shock pkg where it would spring back up after compressed. This Package slows it down a lot. I have the spring adjusters turned all the way down and it only springs back up to where the arms are parallel with the ground. Is this what I want?
I also went to 3k rear, 20k front and 60k center on the diffs.
And I got the pinpoint tires and ran them on Saturday (with the old clay setup) and wow that thing sticks to the track
Like crazy.
I am also wondering about my current shock orings. i noticed that the rear shocks had black gook on the body and lower cap the other day so when I took them apart I noticed the previous owner had installed what looks like traxxas x-rings. Do those work better than the stock HB orings? I hate leaky shocks. The front also have the xrings but I didn't notice any leaking from the fronts, just the rears. So I was going to order HB orings but wasn't sure if I was downgrading by installing those and if I should just get new xrings
