Different springs , oils , and piston all come to play when choosing springs . Are you looking for a clay track setup ? If so try team driver Casper`s setup , I really like it .

ya thats the kind setup sheet I meant and have applied these to my truck using the same oil. springs and pistons. now, looking at your sheet I see the guy is using diffrent color rear springs/oil/pistons, so whys that diffrent than my setup sheet? Ha, my truck could be running just fine and I wouldnt know it, guess I dont know what to look for

Then it sounds like you need to drive the truck and get used to it and see what it does and doesn`t . Each driver is different and need to develop a driving style before worrying about everything else .

Run your truck to the point you know how it will react before the next jump or turn .

+1 Briguy - Practice til you know how the car will react.

My kid was super fast with his XXXT but I could never drive it fast. We have totally different driving styles, I like lots of drag brake, he doesn't brake for anything. He sold it to another local racer who really liked the setup.

We rarely have setups that both of us can drive well. I've found that I like to copy setups from similar tracks to ours and just adapt to the car. My youngest does the same. My oldest prefers to make the car do exactly what he wants and is willing to play with setup for hours if necessary to find that ultimate combo.

curious what a drag brake does? latley have found myself feathering the brake anywhere I have to slow down, is this common?

Briguy

It is a setting on the ESC that applies a selected amount of brake when you let off the throttle to neutral position . When you run drag brake you just have to remember to add a little throttle during a jump .

interesting conception, so in otherwords a drag brake does the same thing as manually feathering right? only the D/B is constant...BTW LMK when you get those turnigys
