does stiffen the rear up though so its not great on super rough tracks.

1mm under camber link and shorter link both increase entry rotation but also give more traction on exit.
With the center dif you need to adjust your driving style slightly , you can enter the turns much more aggressive without the fear of the back coming around on exit.

3-3 block - more anti squat in rear (thanks cameron kellog)
1mm under inner camber link ballstud - lowers roll center slightly to get more roll or "lean" in corners
shorter rear camber link - move ballstud on rear hub carrier in one hole, shortens camber link, makes camber change greater when rolling, keeping tire contact patch in corner on outside rear wheel flatter in relation to ground

Move the outer rear camber link to the inside hole on the rear hub. The 1mm goes under the inner camber link ball stud.

3-3 is more anti-squat. The toe is the same for both blocks. 3 per side.

What does more or less anti-squat do? I'm searching but can't find why Im looking for.

Not on the 4w. The FT shocks are fine. You might like the RCShox pistons though.

I never break anything on my Slash 4x4, other than "worn out" Drivelines. =P

Don't confuse "Factory Team" with "Team Kit"

Either way, everyone goes on and on about Kyosho shocks and Springs. My Factory team upgrades for the 4x4 are fantastic, rebuild fast and never leak. And they are silky smooth.

More anti-squat produces less rear traction on power by effectively increasing the rear spring rate in proportion to how much forward power is being applied.

The velvet shocks are better quality shocks compared to most, but they aren't big bore and that is more important with these heavy trucks.

Those are from the outer CV joints. You are 3w drive right now.

They're the CVA Pin and stud. Look at your Axle assembly on your manual, or the PFD on rc10.com and it'll be easy for ya.
