The Orion 5500 pack works, the trak power saddle works as well that's what I run. You'll want a 7.5 at our track (SMAC) if your a mod driver. 8.5 will be smooth but if you go to larger tracks it'll be a bit to mild. The drivetrain in this car is very free so a 7.5 is a lot of motor in it.

Need some advice with setup before I get too frustrated and sell it. Car works great on high bite but can't get enough forward bite on looser tracks. From mid corner to exit I have to drive it like a 2wd buggy or the rear comes around. Have avid pistons, tried 1 dot rear springs, 2 dot progressive fronts, 10/5, 10/3, 7/3, 5/3, 5/2 diff fluids, different camber links, different arm mounting positions, added weight to rear. Also removed rear spacer and sanded down arm mounts, rear hubs all the way forward, chassis at low bite settings. Car has tons of steering have to run dr at 70% to drive it. Also tried every tire I can and still no better.

Was thinking maybe I need to go softer on rear spring and stiffer front. Stiffest is have is stock and 2 dot progressive softest rear is 1 dot or ae yellow. Any suggestions on what springs to try? Was thinking maybe Losi low freq rear around 2# and something around 4# front.
