Even at the big races, in the sportsman classes I'm sure they'll overlook it. Now as far as it being distracting to other drivers...I'm not that good of a driver, I'll take any advantage I can get...hmmm...maybe I should start running some LED's

You should try out the track, it's a blast, and the nitro buggy guys are always wondering how these SC trucks are going so fast these days.

And man, onroad at Revs, that was way back in the day before I even moved to LA...

My experience with the grease out of the box, was that it pushed on fast on-power turns, but would rotate like a top in off-power turns. It was kind of difficult to get used to at first and I found it looping out at the end of fast parts of the track where you break such as at the end of the straight. But was fantastic on tight turns where you rotate into them and power out of them. It did take a while to get used to and it also felt a little inconsistent. But it seems a bit more consistent now that it's gotten broken in and heat cycled many times over, I've gotten really used to it and like it a lot. I still haven't run oils yet and have been running the grease since I got the car the first week it came out, so I don't have anything to compare it to other than my 1/8th scale car. I do like it though as of now. Once more parts become available, I'm going to build new diffs with either 5-5-3, 5-5-2 or 3-3-2 and keep the old ones filled with the grease, so I can go back and forth and see what I like the best. I know Ryan's working on trying to get the grease packaged to make it available to those who do like the feel of the grease better than oils.

I think everybody has opinions on various set-ups....what works for one person doesn't for the other. This truck is very good on the clay track. I drove the AE 4wd and they a tough to drive, glad I went with the Losi.

I was having issues, especially under the lights, on the backside triple triple.

Those of you that run on larger tracks where sight can be an issue, especially at night under lights, other than more practice, is there anything you do to make it easier to stay consistent?

I have a truck lying useless for too long.

Any other gears I can throw in it?

Any advise or directions would be great at this point.

Once winter comes around I will try the 7-7-3......what handling changes should I expect with the higher oils in the front and middle on the high bite track??

The closest I can find to a similar feel to the stock grease is a 3k 3k for the front and center. So total would be 3,3,2..

I honestly think it's more like a 4k feel so if you wanted to mix a 3 and 5k bottle for a custom blend and run 4,4,2 I think you would get as close to the grease as you can w/ oils... still not the same but close. This setup does work great, I don't like 5k in any of them and would go w/ 3k given the choice... I run on some high bite and med bite tracks too and still would take 3k over 5k in the front and center.

Rear always seems best on 2k

my 2c hope it helps get you going.
