I run the ballast weight in my car, also 7grams in each of the front and rear traingles---full battery reedy 5500...for what it worth..

Does anyone ever mess with anti squat? I'm getting close on my setup by trying to get just a little more mid/exit steering. Trick is I don't want to loose any rear bite. My set up is basically Hartsens stock nats set up other than running kit arms in back, the c hub with the u brace shaved and 30 wt in the back. The only weight I'm running is the ballast. Trying to avoid just adding weight sine I'm running blinky.

Switch to the RTR motor plate , its weights more making more rotation out of corner .

Thanks. I would have thought the extra weight in the back would make it worse. Obviously I'm still learning after 25 years.

The best way I've found to get more steering coming out of a corner is being slightly less aggressive with the throttle. That said, I'm not that good with my trigger finger:lol:. To help with it, I add a little anti-squat (reduces weight transfer to the rear on acceleration). I currently change from 3*-4* depending on the traction (moisture).

Anybody run the FTW night fox body?? FTW recomends the standard body for the +8 chassis.

Try raising the the ball stud on the front shock tower 1mm or .30 washer.

+1 That'll do it.

tried the r4 chassis with inline electronics. it actually worked pretty good initially. But in the main on my b4 and my 4x4, the track seemed to have a few seriously slick areas. I had a decent finish and plan to give the t4 chassis a few more weeks. I really noticed a lot more high speed stability out doors. I expected it to really suck in the 180's, but it was actually pretty good. It also seemed more stable if I cased the double triple. I think the longer chassis made it more stable, but the inline electronics let it still rotate well. my weight was 1515g with the shorty, I also removed the rear ballast, but left the weight in the triangles. Anyway, just a little info for you outdoor racers that want a little more stability.

I like the FTW body. Has a little more aggressive cab, but I think the side pods could be a little more smooth.

Overall it performs well. My experience I think it has a little more steering than the Finnisher.

Isn't the max anti-squat 2.0? Do you run 2 of those shims together to get 3-4?

Yup, just stack 'em.

yeah, you can stack them.

yep stack them babies.

Finally built my shocks. Was a little worried after reading about some of the issues experienced by others. However, the build went great. No problems. Actually, I think they are the easiest shocks I have built yet. Perhaps AE has corrected some of the issues. Everything fit well and I see no signs of leaking. I just took my time and used green slime on the o rings. They seem to be nice and smooth, I am happy with how they turned out.
