Also when setting end points put the car on the ground. Don't set them with the wheels hanging.

I have to rebuild my diff's. The out drives move on the diff's. The washers inside the diff's. Is in a cone shape when I took the center diff apart. I don't want to buy new diff drums. What is everyone using to replace the washer inside the diff's?

I don't have the truck any more (/sadface) but I think it was only 2mm longer than the book says. and they are right when they tell you to set your end points with the truck on the table. I even compress mine and let it settle. Tweaking the settings like this helped my 2.0 get the steering my 1.0 had.... but still keep the rear planted.

edit: I really like a pushy truck that I have to overdrive.... i really had to dial steering out and no one at my local tracks ever had steering issues with 2.0s... especially once they started tuning with end points.

I am going to reset my EPA on my steering with the truck setting on the ground like suggested, I think right now I have it down both ways close to 50% or less and both sides are not the same. I hope this gains me some more steering, on right hand turns it just pushes a lot more than it does to the left if I remember correctly. As far as my setup goes I have 30wt oil in all 4 shocks w/#3 pistons. stock sway bars, stock rear toe and droop. battery in middle, black springs on the front and orange on rear. My shock positions are stock manual positions. The truck jumps nice and comes out of the corners nice, it may just be my driving style and slowing down to much on entering the corners to, as I might not be staying on the power as needed, just because I am still learning to drive off road. So Maybe as my comfort level and skill improve the corner handling might improve as well. I'd hate to drop the springs any as the truck already feels real soft, and I'm afraid if I go softer it will bottom out more on the landings which is not a good thing either.

Are you setting your end points to where they physically stop moving or making them even on the transmitter?

I am stopping them when they hit something, and then 1 or 2 more so that there is no bind. But I did it on the stand with the tires hanging and not under load so to speak like someone else suggested.

I cannot do it at even same numbers each way because they hit at different points and I want as much as possible, as our track is high bite, and usually a technical track layout.

Hacker..I cant tell ya how many people Ive met with turning issues with 2.0 Do you have any parts that make it easy to get more tight turning and less push with it..

where is your battery positioned to get that weight balance you posted with the scale?
You seem to be rather stuck on the amount of travel or degrees that the truck itself steers. I can tell you that if you want more steering travel, you can use the aluminum 15 degree caster blocks. I have never had a problem steering with my truck. As long as you ensure your right and left steering link are the same length as they should be, you should be fine. I dont dremel anything in my steering at all and had no issues turning under anyone this last weekend.

You always want to set end points on a vehicle at ride height. That is typically when arms are level and you have the most throw out of all of the part in the steering system.
