In addition to adding weight (which you don't always want to do in stock), you can also adjust/reduce anti-squat, make the rear end softer, or remove some shock limiters from your front shocks for more weight transfer to the rear under acceleration.

I think the 10.5 gave that away. goehm was saying stock because of the setup you are using.

Have you tried letting someone else at the track drive your car? Because of the questions that you keep asking, I really think it's driving style as opposed to setup. I'm not sure switching to Losi will solve your problems. Good luck whichever way that you end up going.

He sold his B5M to get this car because traction was not right. And the losi will be MUCH worse.

Dirt Digger,

You seem to be convinced that the buggy or the setup is holding you back. You mentioned in a PM that you have a race tonight. Find your fastest race tonight and look at your fast lap, top 5/10/20. Compare that against the best run tonight.

If you are off by more than 1 second in either fast lap or top 5, no setup change or brand is going to make that up for you.

Here's something that Billy Easton said on the FB page a while back that I think may help you:
I played this game the other day..Forza 4..... The game is obviously built around, what is and is not possible by the fundamentals and laws of inertia,gravity,traction and so on.. Anyway, the car i was playing never seemed to turn, and, until i approached the turns at the proper speed, there was no way this car was turning.. I guess, what im trying to say in general, and not necessarily directed towards you. A racing car has its limits no matter what we expect it should do.. You have to drive within the limits of the car in order to turn fast laps.. Just like the game, blowing turns and missing apex's translate slower lap times, against, braking the car,decelerating at the correct time, hitting the apex and throttling the car off the turn..RC cars are alot the same, you simply need to learn the limits of your car, and then drive within those boundaries.

No problem. Keep in mind that everyone is willing to help. We only know what you tell us and you continue to ask for setup changes on how to gain one thing without saying how the buggy is performing in other areas of the track.It was frustrating seeing you ask for the same thing and expect different results. There's no magic bullet here.

That's why letting a fast driver drive my buggy was so helpful to me. It showed me that it wasn't the setup. It was my driving style. That left me with, change my driving style or change the setup to suit my driving style.
