HAHA, the only tip I have there is throttle input. If you run drag brake, you have to stay on the gas some. Its much easier to stay on the throttle and then just let off or hit the brakes to bring the nose down than it is if the nose is down to hit throttle to bring it back up.

I usually like to dial in some push control on the RX8 to help with the attitude of the truck

Is the measurement done with the shocks mounted and at full droop or unmounted.

Either way, but using the Losi shock tool with the shocks off the truck is really easy.

Stock sc10 tires are by far the best carpet tire. The blitz tires work better than the stickers but not even close to the sc10 tires.
