I bought a VTS yesterday, used my stock spring, and have 2-3 threads showing on the end of the shaft. I like it, it seems more consistent when I set more slip. Lap time showed 0 improvement.

I dropped almost a full second off my laps with the VTS. When setup right it will alow you to really motor out of corners.

Depending on where you are currently you may have to reverse the advice for the camber links & ball studs. Do 1 change at a time & drive at least 5-10 laps between each change. Iirc it handled well everywhere else but pushed on power coming out of tight corners, if this is the case I expect the dif will fix it (I am assuming your dif works properly & is smooth).

Thanks, Yeah it was the first time the buggy hit the track, the diff might be it.

+1 the only change so far that has lowered my lap times is the +8 chassis. But the triad/vts seem to be more consistent

I need good commentary to get me through the monthly 10 page discussion of 17.5/13.5 gearing. Or the weekly A tower/C tower debate.

Losi Wheels

Whats up all!!
Can I use losi wheels and still maintain legal track width? I came accross someone selling out and has a ton of fresh hex stuff but all on Losi wheels. I had heard the offset will have me not legal in track width. Any input is much appreciated!!!!

Same. Had no trouble outa AE slipper springs. They are so easy to set.
I built my factory team sc10 last night and I so enjoyed it. If you
guys are looking for a good truck to build I advise you to bite the bullet and get it. Id buy a B4.1 IF i COULD DRIVE ONE...hard car to drive, too hard for my skills.
