+1 I started t4.1 ft with a mod 8.5t. It really helped learning throttle control.

Also I know it goes on the ball but I think you guys know what I mean..
Looks like you have the caster blocks on backwards. It looks like the left side block is on the right side of the car in your pic. The camber link ballstud should be in front of the kingpins. You probably won't be able to get the front shock on the way you have it. The camber rod will be swept too far backwards.

Both, the arm is up side down and the caster block is backwards.. Look for the "L" and "R" , L being driver side. Maybe that will help.

Now the ball stud needs to be in closer so the Caster block can fit on..

It should look like:

Right?

Couldn't agree with you more. 17.5 with a lot of boost and timing is a lot of fun and fast in the buggy so I imagine it would be similar in the truck. Either get a 8.5 or a 17.5. It really depends on your driving capabilities. Don't waste your money on anything else.

So what spring rates are people picking up to fine tune on a clay track with med/high bite? The truck will be used on this type of track 99% of the time. I really don't want to buy the entire front & rear spring kits to have 85% of them never being used.
