I am looking for a setup... so far I HATE the way it drives.. I have the center diff (the first gen) spring kits and exotek and b44 saddle pack conversion. I really think it has alot to do with my diff oils.. what diff oils should I be running with the center diff? what pistons and shock oils?
I feel like the truck is on ice. I cant be hard on the gas at all and its very twitchy. I can wheel my xxx-sct around the track 10x faster and its really fustrating. I run at a medium size indoor hard packed track.
I understand you guys on here have your trucks practically DIALED so any help is GREATLY appreciated! should I buy the factory team upgrade kit?

I'm running 10k front and 7k rear. I'd like a little more steering but I love how planted the thing is. I'm not fighting for steering anywhere. The base of my setup is Hartsons spring indoor nationals setup. I have made a few small changes but this one seems very predictable, a little twitch but in a good way, but really planted.

Don't get all caught up with the timing thing , my experience ?
more timing if the motor is slow and trying to make more top speed.
or
more timing =more top speed, less torque and less wheel
leave timing alone for most part & just use higher or lower pinion recommended...
scott
Move rear shock inside on tower
or
blue rear spring

Based on what I saw at my race when I went up in pinion size for speed, I may actually go back down and give that a try instead on my Pro4 4000Kv motor.
The BH is very close to the hw I run I use about 12 degrees of boost timing with my hw 4 pole 4000kv, and down the stright I will pull my buddys rx8 pro-4 4600 with no timing. I start the boost timing at 8000 rpm and it will ramp up as you apply the throttle this works beauty.
