Thumbs up Tex from Indy....

Yep... That's me. No prob Domit. I saw you working on that thing and said oh crap! Thought you could use the help to make your race.
Glad you did.

I'm with you guys on this but there is a little thing about what this guy is saying. A Mach 427 with all alum shoes and if he's running the stock pipe, will blow the tires off the car! That is an amazingly strong motor for a buggy. Sounds like your rear end is staying stuck to get the front end to unload as well. Might try a setup in your clutch that will not spin the tires soo much and restrict the motor as well.

Going up in the center diff oil will make the car harder to drive. You might give it a try.

Inconsistant?? That is in the hand of the driver. The Losi is easy to drive fast. That means it is easy to overdrive and go slow. That is what I like about the car. Relax and haul a$$!
