I will go ahead and say 80 wt is going to be really bad. White springs are too soft for the front of an SCT IMO. go to a Grey front spring and check your ride height! Make sure the front is not lower then the rear. Also remember raising the front ride height higher then the rear will also help with it diving to hard into corners

Also for all you guys with NOSE DIVING issues. Put hard front arms on ASAP! (and 37.5-40 Wt. oil in the front)

My track is a high bite clay track. It has 37.5 and white in it now. I've rebuilt them again with the 37.5 and will test it tmrw with greys. I'm using the kyosho x-gear grey in the rear and other than is lifting the inside wheel in sharp high speed it does great. I'm very happy with it. I have the 3 gear and MIP pucks system also. On a side note how many people use the square pack? I have one and haven't used it but twice in my buggy and I think I'm going to try it

Mid motors like to be driven with throttle. There is a lot of steering available and if you let off too much the front can overwhelm the rear. Try not to fix steering issues with shocks as much as possible. Find a balanced shock package and work with your roll center adjustments to get it to turn like you want. I like the idea of a hard front arm. That makes sense. My thought is that this truck is begging for a front sway bar. If you are lifting the inside rear tire in tight corners that would confirm it.

I had that problem, changed shock positions to stiffen up the rear and didnt change the ride height back to the 28mm (was about at 25-26) I usually run in the rear, could hear it slapping the face of the jumps and nosing over, set it back to 30mm front 28mm rear, and it flys great now, just need to cut out the damn vents in my body without destroying it lol...

A good shock package is balanced in wheel rate from front to rear. It really should be the first thing done with a new kit. Once that balance is found, how the weight is transferred from side to side is controlled with roll center adjustments (camber link positions/lengths and possibly sway bars).

I am using that axle on both the SC5m and T5m. They are a little longer on the SC5m (6mm hex instead of 8.5mm), but they still fit for me.
