Just some alternatives to modifying for a stick pack. I've been running the car over a year and I would definitely go this route. You have to invest in a new battery and accessories, but you would get more weight further to the rear than you would with a stick pack.

Do you need a laydown transmission to run the shocks on the front of the arms?
Thanks

First Club Race of the New Year and all I can say is OMG!!!!!
I can't get over how well planted and smooth this car is, Seriously, I am not a long time driver but It just felt so easy to drive, all I had to adjust was some steering Trim on my radio and Off to the races.
It lands so nice and even when I got a little throttle happy on a jump it took little work to correct and land smooth
I had no traction rollings and I totally feel that there is more grip there, I just have to man up and hold the go trigger a little longer.
I did ok-ish, out of 25 drivers I got close to the top ten, and I am more than happy with that on a buggy I just got, that I haven't done anything to ( a front mounted Proline wing...that's it) and actually had to add 7 grams to just make minimum weight.

Interested in a response too
I was going to do the exotec servo mount which according to their website is only 6.5g making the delta between plastic and this alum one pretty small, I would think. The alum belcrank I'm sure adds way more but I'm not sure I need it, as my steering mechanically is fine. I am getting a bit of understeer but I need to finish breaking in these tires before I make a decision.

Hey guys- I just installed a Dirt Laydown on my 3.0. I am having a lot of issue at my local track (medium) with rear traction. I can't seem to go around without spinning out around a turn. I asked a few local guys, a lot of them are telling me its the laydown, find it hard to believe though it cause I have seen other guys running it fine. Just put on some new tires, changed the ride height and changed the camber a bit, nothing really helped. Any thought or suggestions?

What shock oil do you run and what springs? What holes do you have your shocks in on the arm and on the tower?

Also if you just put on new tires the car will feel loose for some runs in till the tires completely break in.

If it were me things I would try
1. Move the shock to the inside of the arm
If that doesnt help
2. Move the top of the shock to the outside of the tower
If that doesnt help
3. Verify your camber is what the other locals are running. I run at HobbyPlex in Omaha and we run -1
If that doesnt help
4. Start looking at your diff.
A. Ball Diff or are you running that new gear diff? Are you sure its not too tight?
5. Are you sure your slipper is not too tight?
6. Brand new tires will almost always feel loose.
7. Are you using traction compound? I like Liquid wrench penetrating oil(Yellow Cap).
I run the laydown on my RB6.6 and love it but I had to change the things I said above.

I love the laydown tranny on my RB6.6, I have my two boys running the TLR 22 3.0.
