IMO absolutely! And it was great indoors hard packed clay. I know it sounds opposite but a friend of mine said he went 10K F and it was dialed!

Checked the diff fluids lately to make sure the cases are full?
Are you WOT a lot causing it to diff out?
If all that is good try turning your "punch" down on your esc or your current limiter depending on what brand esc you run. The tuning features found nowadays in most common escs can really help you dial a car in at times.

Some ballooning is normal, but if too excessive you can try taking out some front droop, stand up rear shocks more, or a stiffer rear spring, then would try anti-squat last.

that is good to know, it seems the buggy really likes the stiffer springs in the rear, i was thinking the spring was causing the slight bucking in the rear, but i can see how the purple would help turning, are you running on clay or outdoors? your droop is way different than mine im at 104 front 119 rear maybe im not getting the weight transfer to the front also?
I have the same issue, I run 553, pink front, purple rear. 104,122 Outside hard packed and clean. Its great everywhere but 180 turns just don't want to turn unless you slow WAY down. Was thinking about trying the lower inner hole on the tower for camber link, im one up from the bottom now. Rear end seems really locked in nice, im sure adding to the steering issue.

Is it a slick track or a high bite track?
indoor med-high bite
Checked the diff fluids lately to make sure the cases are full?
just rebuilt them all and filled them to the top of the gears
Are you WOT a lot causing it to diff out?
yes it is happening when i am WOT when it breaks loose so im not too worried about it, and thats what i run in my sct410 and its perfect, should a buggy be different?

the spread between the f/r springs is so huge compared to sct i run greens f&r but you buggy guys are using pink/red why is that? lol i guess im a buggy now trying to learn to tune, it's a bit different than my truck.
then would try anti-squat last.
more or less anti squat?

For those of you running lt. blue front and orange rears, what pistons and oil you using?
My car is just about perfect now, but i need just a touch more on power coming out of the corner. I would be willing to give up some turn in as I have some to spare, but otherwise don't want to change up how it's handling in other areas.

since i got my buggy second hand, i am not sure which hubs are on it, can somebody post the width of the stock hubs so i can verify if i have them vs +1 or +2
05-27-2014, 08:16 AM
Not at my car right now, but stock has no milling and is your usual hex. If it looks like a hex, rather than a star, they're normal. From memory the pin is centered in the edge of the hex on stock width, vs being closer to the inside of the car on the + width hexes.
05-27-2014, 08:43 AM
You should be able to tell by looking at them.
Standard hex:
Plus 1mm Hex:
Plus 2mm hex:

hmm, nice post. I must have a +1 or +2 on mine then. Will measure and find out for sure.

I attended my first big race meet where the cars were scrutineered. I was told that my car was the widest and the lightest EP car.
It "just" made it through on width and I have the standard hubs.

Got 3 practice sessions on our new buggy on a very dusty track, car looks terrible, besides washing it what would normal maintenance be, any body oil or grease outdrives or pivot balls,etc, how long should bearings hold up on the EB in dirty conditions thanks
