Hey all I’m running JR Mitch’s Indoor, blue groove, high-traction, bumpy. At the end of our straight away we have a 90* turn that takes you to a triple. I have a hard time making it, on entry of the 90* turn my rear end wants to step out on me. What setup changes should I start trying? I went to the yellow rear springs and it felt that same. I was also wondering how I could get a little more on power steering?

thanks

Dude, 4600 and the new chassis, I am going to have to seriously work on my driving to have a chance. I can't race tomorrow, hoping to race next Friday.

I have the 4600 with power turned down, I think if i went down to a 4000 it wouldnt feel much different than my castle 3800.
Running on a hard dusty surface tomorrow for a toys for tots race. Cant wait to get new chassis.

I'm not knocking rcshox's product in any way. But as an alternative to the ACK bar wouldn't one be able to switch the stock bar around? I test fitted it last night and fits fights but you have to grind away the bell-crank like in the ACK bar install manual (which I am not willing to do right now). Granted it's not adjustable and probably no where near as good as the real thing but for those on a tight budget like me it might just work. I remember people did the reverse on the blitz to get more steering so there's no reason why it cant be done here.
Once again I think rcshox's solution is much better but this might work with no additional parts.

Anyone running the STRC shocks? Are they hard anodized?

hard anodizing is not colored it only comes in one color and the differences in that color depend on the material (6061,7075 etc etc ) the STRC bodies are just anodized, as far as i know only the FT bodies are hardened, it took about a month before my colored stock bodies started to turn the oil silver.

I can drive it fine with the slipper and a basket. It's just not as fast as pinned with the track all rutted up. I think on a smooth track it would be slower with the pin.



Or maybe two pads isn't enough? It's not enough for the factory AE guys, here is (I think) Pudge's truck with multi part slipper at the Reedy race:

4.5 550 ballistic is mass power?



I'm not convinced I need less, but maybe. The truck was easier to drive with the 6.5 540, but thermaled in six minutes with enough gear to be racy with the Losi trucks at my local track. Maybe somewhere in between.



Mine is pretty close to there, maybe less, never hotter. With the stock two disc slipper it was so hot after seven minutes you couldn't touch the gear cover. And you could no longer double the same section you could triple early on.



After 10 minutes, my battery only takes about 1700 MAH. With the basket, that is.

I just installed sway bars on my truck. I was wondering how much, if any wire is hanging out of the sway bar bracket. I've been working on my setup and the issue im still having is loose in and push out of the corners. Also its has a tendancy to jump nose down, Any ideas. Thanks.
