Looking for some feedback on the Track Star orings. Anyone had a chance to run them yet?

If you're letting off the throttle completely when you jump, then yes, it will make your truck nose dive over jumps

I run no drag brake on my truck, maybe I should to help it nose over better?? Sometimes my nose is up, down, just depends.

The Cav setup on rc10.com is what I've been running before that setup was even published, works really good for me.

this should be the first thing done to this truck, get rid of the x-rings, and get the trackstar o-rings. No leakage, no sticktion, and smooth as silk.

He gave me a few pointers and then I was able to drive it quite a bit cleaner. As long as I don't push it really hard it seems to behave pretty well and get around the track quickly.
