For the loose condition try removing the center and rear braces and move the rear hubs forward.

I set my shocks using Fred's method and finally got a chance to go to the track today and see how it worked. The truck was jumping much better. The tendency to nose dive was gone and the chassis bottomed out much less.
When I was rebuilding the shocks I also lowered the rear camber link. The track I run on is hardpacked and very dry and dusty. In other words slick as snot on a door knob. I was sure that I read lowering the rear camber link would raise the roll center and help to lock down the rear end.
Today the trucks rear end was on a mision to drive me insane. Accelerating out of a corner or up the face of a jump was a thrill a minute. The rear end would break loose kind of randomly and send me off the side of the jump or into the pipe on the turn. When I got home I logged on here to see what else I could do to get more rear traction. There waiting for me was your one word post. I checked it out and sure enough I did it exactly backwards. Seems I wasted a day of practice chasing a problem I created myself.
I have a one word post too.
CRAP!!!

Ran both for first time today brand new with stock set ups to compare the Losi 2.0 and My Tekno. The lap times were 1-1.5 seconds a lap faster with the Losi. To me the Tekno had no rear traction during cornering and it would cut loose way too easy. The other bad part is this truck does not fly well at all with stock setup. It nose dives much worse than the original Losi 1.0 I had did. Box stock the Losi 2.0 took high speed corners and jumped a lot better. Basically it didn't work for me with stock setup. I need more rear traction and correct this nose dive to be as competitive as I was last season. I got lapped by that Losi 2.0 in the main by the sponsored driver I usually switch positions with during all races. Any quick fixes? Seemed like it needed to move weight towards rear and they may correct both problems

Try moving the rear hubs forward, going up to green or orange springs in the rear, lowering your ride height a little (keeping the rear the same as the front or even a little lower). If you're too loose on entry try turning your down your D/R, increasing your expo, or slowing down your servo. If it tracks pretty straight on power but you're loose going into a turn you can also lower your anti-squat to the middle position and you'll have more rear traction into the corners.

Hi everyone,
After some more research and testing on the stub axles, our initial thoughts about certain combinations of products causing the breaks was incorrect. There is no rhyme or reason to it except that some of the axles are too hard and others aren't. We're not exactly sure which run of kits used what stub axles, but we believe there were a couple different batches of axles. This explains why some people are having issues and most aren't.
So, for anyone having issues, please email us ([email protected]) with your info. Email pictures of the broken parts if you have them and we'll take it from there. Thanks a lot.

This is the link to the thread. There's a lot of info in the thread, but the shock set-up is in the first part.

Ran first time this weekend well actually twice raced it the local oval to 3 in the a main against stuff set up just for oval and ran today on the off road track I am very happy with the truck set up perfect on the oval a little free off road was slapping back of chassis hard causing it to nose dive slight ride height change and was pretty close still a little free but I was running the chassis braces and the hubs all the back am gonna move them forward and take the braces off no broken parts .. love this truck
