Hi all. I've had tons of success with this truck pretty much out of the box. I'm running the FT against plenty of Losi's and durango's and winning. I had the Losi sct before this truck and I must say this truck out performs the Losi. Could be because it fits my driving style better but it's just my opinion. I was wondering for all running the FT. Have you tried the short springs in the rear? Is this mod just to fix the way the car jumps? Reason I ask is because I run on everything from medium blue groove to large blown out tracks to tight indoor. I don't see the flight issue for this truck in any of the tracks I run on. Could it be this was fixed with the FT kit?
Does any one have the front clicker part they would be willing to sell? Just the part that keys onto the shaft and presses against the pulley. I lost mine and don't want to shell out the $12 for the entire pulley/tensioner system.

By blocking off the entire cab portion of the body..Maybe it's hard to tell from the pic but the tape runs pretty flat from the hood to the tail section. If air going up in the cab causes parachuting, why not block off the cab? the air can only go flat under the body now(i cut the front lip off the body a long time ago, i won't be doing that to future bodies). It looks a little hack, but meh, it's just tape. I have a better question, why wouldn't it help?

I also am running the FT and started running with the front blues in the rear from the get go. I know it's been working for almost everyone here, however, the last time at the track a switched everything to the FT setup and have to say it all made an improvement. I ran with my best friend who had a very tricked out sc10 4x4 so we were able to make comparisons between the two. After the track day, he bought the FT. After switching back to the stock FT setup, it was hooking up great. Well, off to race for the first time today and going to try the new v2 center diff.
There is no front or rear lip on my SC body, so it's flat underneath..no more spot for air to catch. Think of it like an upside down bowl..I see the skepticism because it's a new idea, but i see no reason it wouldn't work. The air will go out the back of the body much easier than it did before
