[QUOTE=Cain;11088112

When I see Mantis's best driver only taking it off to install the VTS ?

All the proof I need .....

unfortunately I think that is about the best one we have right now from AE.

thought, this setup kind of has me interested based on the low grip conditions mentioned on it:

depending on your gear, you may want to compare the Kody setup to Marcus RC Shox starting setup as at least from what I could tell on the track and what he mentioned, it seemed more oriented to outdoor conditions.

Aw man looks like so much fun. I néed to get outdoor before the rain returns this fall. Maybe marrysville or Dave's if I make a trip to Portland. It's nice to drive on perfect indoor track conditions but just cant beat a outdoor session on a good day.

Hey Cain...you are having trouble getting big air with your truck? Mine can hit them as hard as Jon's durango and Troy's Losi...maybe you want a set-up that is off of the tracks we run on?

As usual WC is just lying about it! if anyone installed a Cdif and couldnt clear a particular jump because of it it is simply not setup right. IT IS A CENTER DIF JUST LIKE ON EVERY OTHER 4WD TRUCK. SO I GUESS NONE OF THE LOSI'S OR DURANGOS COULDNT CLEAR IT EITHER??? Look WC im not going to sit here and let you continue to badmouth my product. We have all seen your horrible driving skills so really your opinion means nothing. If one of my team drivers decides not to use the dif in a certain situation thats fine, they will still use the garodisc so it doesnt matter as long as they win with my products. Guess what i know a guy who is a friend of another guy whos cousin had a VTS and he couldn't get the VTS to hold grip on a sweeper and that guy is on your team........jackazz!

Cain, i appreciate your honesty and the fact that you give an honest opinion about the things that you ACTUALLY TRY (ahem ahem). you have contacted me via PM before and this type of feedback is what pushes me to make better products. Talking out of your ass about products you have never tried is ignorant at best. WC thinks that we are all stupid while he is chewing on AE jocks and trying to breath

That would be cool. I wasnt' sure who was running what though I did see a few Sc10 wheelers out there, but names ... I am so bad with names lol.

For jumps, really the only issue I had was the canyon jump and it was I believed caused by how I have my body cut. no real vent holes on the front hood, so it would catch some wind and over it goes.

The table top could kill it with the truck, clear it easily. Just takes jumps different than my 1/8 buggy so had to get used to that.

But definitely, send me any setup info you have!

No prob, The center diff felt great around the track considering my poor choice in tires. same with the 2 stage pistons.

Do you happen to know if AKAs offset for there premount sc10 4x4 rims is like jconcepts +3 mm ones?

The Canyon was rough for me in the first round that day. I like having black "tinted" windows on my truck and didn't want to lose that look. In between the first and second round i cut the top 1/4" off of each side window to make it look like the windows were rolled down a little bit. Thats when I set the TQ and was able to win that crazy 14 car main.
