Since you don't have the RM rear arms you can push your rear hubs all the way forward, put your shock all the way in on the rear shock tower, go to 0 ballstud washers on the rear inner camber link, go to the 2 hole insert in the rear hubs all the way out (long link) (I did this the other day and my car was almost to locked in), softer oil and spring in the rear, larger hole or more holes in piston.
Those are a few things you can do to get more grip.
I run on a medium bite track usually and I run stock and my setup is basically exactly like what I just gave you but I run 3x1.4s all the way around 32.5 in the front 30w in the rear white springs front and green rear and I have the RM rear arms and my car is pretty much always locked in.

Also make sure you use the same tires after every change you make or you wont be able to tell whether it was the change that made your car better or worse or the tires (I know it sounds like common sense but Ive done it before).
Hope this helps!

this has helped me out quite a bit.
this has helped me out quite a bit.
need a little more rear grip, new to offroad but not racing, running kit setup on tight indoor clay track. Tires of choice are super softs or m4 compound, have tried different compounds and inserts but the rear of the car is a bit to free to really push the car. I have managed to tq and win the last 2 races out of the3 i have entered. i removed the ft 2mm spacers under the ball studs looking for more grip. What would be the next step? short rear links? springs? oil? car is not bad but i have to be really smooth or the rear wants to step out, this is in stock buggy.

RM
Cool. It seems the RM never took off like the MM did...I like seeing the swing to rear motor. Maybe the trend will continue outside of SoCal.

Mamba Max pro and the 1410 kv3800 4 pole motor good choice or bad choice for this buggy or a Mamba Max pro and a 10.5 or 8.5 motor running indoor on a clay track which combo would be better?

Lipo Question
Posted this in another thread but thought I would get other opinions here too.
I did a stupid and had the charging harness (bullets from the battery to a deans, then deans to bullets to the charger) all plugged together and then into the battery and failed to realize what I had done, so the bullet ends to the charger briefly (like 1-2 seconds if that) touched each other... I realize that could create a short in the battery, but for that little amount of time did I do any damage?
The pack charged fine @ 5A with like .024 v cell difference.
Thanks!

Any suggestions on what oil to run in a gear diff? I'm using 3000 right now but thought about trying 1000 or even 35-weight shock oil.
On a separate - but possibly related - note, my car is working well on a large and relatively loose track except for the middle of 3 long carousel corners. Right in the middle of each of these, the car wants to break loose unpredictably. Each of them are long, constant arcs when you're turning for 1-2 seconds. I thought perhaps the diff oil might be too thick and not letting the wheels turn independently enough in these sweeping corners and thus breaking loose at the slightest addition of throttle? The setup is essentially Cav's spektrum setup. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

I would not do the 4 pole motor for sure. A 10.5 or 8.5 will be good. Using a sensored setup would be better. The MMP won't be as smooth as a sensored setup, you will notice the difference in a 2wd buggy.

Ran mine for the 1st time yesterday at OCRC. Didn't due any tuning since i didn't have a ton of time. It has been a while since i had been to the track and the car felt good. Didn't really find myself looking for anything. Someone faster may have a different opinion but it was nice to leave the track with a little confidence in switching to RM.
