lift the vehicle off the ground so your wheels can spin (work stand etc). Move your throttle position forward to the point the wheels start to spin with when in neutral. Set the vehicle down and it shouldn't move on it's own, if it does dial it back just enough so it doesn't move yet the wheels will spin in the air. This will provide super smooth cornering and make even the strongest motors feel like silk. I've been doing this for a while w/ my 1/8 ebuggy and truggy's. This gives a feel of a clutch to any pinion setup.

I also still run with a little push control on the RX8.

I've driving BL and Lipo for nearly 7yrs and this is the first I heard of this, will try it tomorrow at the track.

It had great wheel travel clearance and width clearance.

If you are worried.. just bring up the setting on your remote and only use it when you need it, no rules to it.. ya know.

AWESOME tip. I have the castle 2650 on my SCTE and man that thing has some serious drag on it. This should be a great help, when I let off the throttle at the end of a straight I lose control every time, I started to drift kinda good at high speeds because of it, but it's impossible to drift perfect every time going 30+ MPH lol. Good stuff thanks a lot.

Found this site if anyone is looking at messing with their setups. The site has the final drive ratios for the scte in the drop down boxes. You can change kv for the motors as well as voltage and pinion sizes to get the desired results. I found I was way overgeared for our track and after messing with this my temps are under control. Go under speed calculators and then car/truck setup guide. You will find the losi scte listed there.
The site also has a bunch of other useful tools.

Cost me 149$ in replacement parts +Chris pins. 
I picked up the Jammin Carbon shock towers for the SCTE, I hope these are stronger that the Losi machined aluminum ones. They are pretty thick i must say.
