But on smaller indoor track I just blip the throttle and it flies good, but if I hold it wide open its nose up and unrecoverable with brakes. These are my observations. Not looking for any trouble or arguments or angry debates.

That store owner throwing all the barts in the bargain bin is most likely because the truck just doesn't break! I put one of mine thru hell and back on indoor and never broke a thing bone stock for 2 years. then i fully modified a Ft version and broke one titanium ball stud due to 6mm of washers I put under it. Hope this helps. Buy one!

+1 Very well said, truck is very durable!

sway bars
 
does anyone have a link to the sway bars that show how thick they are. i have the blue in the front of my truck and the yellow in the rear of my truck. which seem good for this out door track. it just other have it the other way around and i dont have it to check it right now. also on the rear tower i have shocks on the outer hole and inner hole on arm keep the truck from rolling to much in the rear. i also think some one said this 6mm or 8 mm mod hepls with the chassies role too.

ok thanks i guess i have it the right way then and there wrong lo. all i know it works for me. i like the stiffer sway in the rear for some reason it keeps it planted for me and i can drive it harder that way without it kicking out.

Or when it does break no one wants to go through the trouble of fixing it! :p
Don't get me wrong, I really like it, handles great and is relatively durable but now that all my diff fluid has leaked out of the rear diff I'll probably park it for a while. It's a pta to take the entire rear end apart and rebuild the diff. I do enjoy tuning and fixing but I would rather have more wheel time then wrench time. It's a shame to because I had it dialed pretty well for our track and it screams down the main straight on two wheels with the pro4 4600 and 14t pinion.

That's because the rooms not unloading on you anymore If you go to front springs in the rear you get the same thing

Won't need to change the servo arm for a longer one , stock fits almost perfect steering rack performs great.

Lowered Servo Mod

Can notice this change , truck will be less tippy , less roll...



step 1

*Before removing servo
mark the servo's location on the bottom chassis.
*grind the X brace on botton chassis flush & grind the ridge on the back of chassis as well.
*Mount the blue servo mounts on servo and mark the location to drill holes in chassis.

Chassis Brace Mod

Lowers chassis brace about 4mm
Helps reduce body roll, makes truck feel less tippy.
Also the front brace gains leverage & strenght.
The mount screw will not bend as easy & break .

* remove the spacer from the front mount & grind 4mm off the rear mount
