Hey guys, sorry but i tried looking through many pages but couldnt find an answer to my question. Are you guys running the fins for the rear of the truck for the high performance body?
Thanks

I am having extreme looseness in the rear of my truck, which means i need more rear traction. I was running the same setup as the dunford standard setup minus having stock pistons and 27.5 oils all around. What are some changes I can make?
I tried a longer rear camberlink by moving it inner lower on the rear, move the hubs forward so that one spacer was front and 3 behind. moved the battery back. moved the shocks in one on the tower in the rear. Nothing worked loose loose loose mainly on mid to exit of the turns. And i have a buddy who has had the same issues and couldnt figure it out either. Would it be smart to add some weight to the rear? So far on it outdoor track the car wont be driveable. On indoor tacky clay track the car is awesome. And i had the right tires on as the number 1 and 2 drivers were using the same thing.

Mine is about to hit the dirt with the box stock kit setup! after comparing it side by side with my 1.0 its pretty different the 2.0 sits down a lot lower in the rear and I was running the 1.0 with no sway bar on the back. The track is medium length dirt outdoor that ranges from dusty to loamy when dry to incredibly sticky later at nite when the dew hits it.
Calibers all around they seem to excel in the dusty daytime but sometimes TOO grippy when the dew hits.
lap times in the 25 second range.
My 1.0 was the current lap record holder we shll see how much I can shave off that with the 2.0

Stick with the kit setup and tune from there. We have found the kit setups works well most places.
The rear being loose might NOT be it... you may have too much traction in the front, its all about balance.

I ran my truck first time fri and had a hard time with it but my toe angles where off and also new remote that I'm not used to. I decided today to set up toe angles like manual shows on build and matched them with my digital caliber. If the booklet show exact width in the diagram when it shows where to measure from, example: 98.5 my digital caliber is further out then in the books picture (like I said not sure if to scale in manual) my truck came out like this not sure if they should be around this angle.

Yea ive learned from building kits in the past that especially on the Steering turnbuckles the manuel is only a starting point really. Camber turnbuckles also same thing.
So just adjust it to where you want it at with the servo on .
How do you like them tires on various conditions ?

that's my issue that does not look correct at all. The manual measurement's are not correct then thats straight to what the manual asked in mm. I will tweak it tomorrow but I was just showing what I ran into following what the kit asked in mm on the distance from end to end

Yeah! the manual was waaaaaaay off...
I can't understand why the manual could not say all marks on tie rods go to the left OR right?? this would have been clearly understood...

negative camber -1, -1.5 is the typical guys //--\\.. tires lean in a little not out (obviously those lines are not -1 to -1.5'. typical toe on the front is toe out 1 to 3' as well and stock rear is 3' toe in. Make sure you are in the right holes first, if you are adjust the turnbuckles.
