First weekend running this truck. First of all it's very forgiving to a newer driver like me. I had to get the truck dialed in but once I did and addressed some bad driving from myself the truck really shined. My only gripe, and this is probably true for all Pro 4 trucks, is that dirt seems to get in the battery tray and the motor / esc area. I'll probably look into a secondary cover. I still finished my heats last but his isn't the fault of the truck, just my skill. I look forward to running this truck all summer and beyond.

I raced the truck for the first time yesterday. It handled great all over, even more steering than my V1, but the rear suspension is a little soft. I'll be ordering in some parts that I hope will help address that. Different pistons, springs, ect. Hope to have a day to just test it out a bit. On the big jumps, the rear was slapping, and sending me nose down, but next lap she'd fly right. That being said, I had no practice time with the truck, it was straight into heat #2, and then the bmain. (missed heat 1 due to still building the truck at that time.)
Got 3rd in the bmain, couple laps down. Next outing in 2 weeks should be better.

Good to hear that this truck is hooked up good out of the box.I put fioroni Pistons in mine and went up to 25 wt in the rear,but have not had a chance to race it yet.the rear still seems a little soft to me though,but will find out when I get it to the track.

I'd almost go up to 30wt...I have a few combo's in mind.

oh, and your in Florida, so you'd need to go higher than me because of your 90 degree days.

Throw what you know about the old truck out the window. This truck was better every place accept for the big jumps. Only reason I have the nose down issue on the big jumps is due to the slapping of the chassis. My chassis after 2 races looks like I've raced for 2 months. The rear is just plain soft in my opinion. I need to firm it up for my driving. I'm first going to try the 6x1.5's, then play with weight. if that isn't enough, I'm going to try a piston change. And btw, I used 350cst in the rears, not the 200 like the kit says. It was still too soft.

Possibly a dumb thought here but I'm going to post it anyway. The kit pistons are essentially a tapered piston with SUPER light oil. What about the possibility of running them upside down? On the AE stuff when we run tapered pistons we go up in weight because the tapered are inherently going to act softer. There is just no way that 20wt with tapered pistons is an appropriate shock setup.

I would only consider running the pistons upside down on super smooth tracks lacking any kind of small bumps or rhythm section.

Matthew do you think 25 wt in the rear with fioroni pistons will be sufficient enough on a loose outdoor track?Or do you think I should go up in weight in the rear?
