Some tips on how to get more rear traction please.

Move the battery back, maybe different tires, move the ballstuds farther out on the hubs, there could be more but it would be more helpful if you posted your set up

I run on a pretty slippery outdoor track, also a lack of rear traction.
Try 1.7 pistons all around and 32,5wt front and 27,5wt rear.
Same springs. black front and white rear.

Or ask the fast guys at your track for a good setup and what tires/inserts they are running.

I actually enjoy the posts by members such as ifuonlyknew, I find them very informative. Maybe it's because I look by the occasional sarcasm and don't ge offended by it, but maybe that's just me.

I don't mind sarcasm, nor am I offended by it. I basically lurk in here because I don't have time to race anymore, I just enjoy keeping up on the latest and greatest. It's the bully-type insults and other general BS that those guys have put out there in the past that I like to avoid. I find that easiest to do when I just can't see anything they type. It might be the lazy way to do it but I prefer to think of it as being efficient LOL :D I just thought it was funny that they posted one right after another and thought I'd share...

Increase rear toe = more rear traction on any surface

What I find more interesting is no shorty pack. When I built my new B4.2 I was set on dialing it in with a shorty. No matter what I changed shock and spring wise or where I moved the battery to it never felt as planted or even stable in the air as it does with a full size pack.

It just works better for me with a big battery.

Some of the guys at our track run green springs front and rear to make the car more drivable.

I personally like the green front and rear. makes the car feel less twitchy

Brain storm any idea for a fix in slight push while on power?
Loose and slippery condition, the rest is perfect!
