ygpm, ditch 6 degree blocks, go back to 4. 550 cst front shock oil with three holes, check your steering throw left degrees, and right degrees. If your struggling, turn the dual rate down if your a lock to lock driver (big changes first to see if that's whats happening..try -20% first and then add or subtract as needed) sounds like the car might actually be pushing, but you think its loose cause when the tires finally grab its hooking, and spinning out. The ppl that I have seen struggle with the t3 that's usually whats going on or a couple of the components. The car has a HUGE sweet spot so if the car is way off, look for something in the car that's way off.. also look for my previous post about drive shaft plunge vs lots of rear camber, and low rear toe values
4 degree blocks are a great place for 90% of the carpet racing, and 550 front oil will help the car feel a little bit more mellow.

that was where my mind was going was that the car was pushing so much that it seemed like it was loose. Im gonna go over the car tonight with a fine tooth comb and see what I can find thanks for all the help guys

highly doubt it... but you never know. i haven't run nitro touring since the old'skol HPI RS-something with rubber tires. i'm looking into starting a nitro program this summer. i've been doing my research and should be hitting the track by mid-april if things are in stock.
are you planning on attending it?

yeah, I am trying. This school term ends for me the week of nats, I am already pleading with my professors to have finals the first day of the last week lol. If that all works out I will rock some NT1 at nats. 190mm rubber / carpet is what I use to stay sharp for nitro since no one wants to run foam lol

dude all great points and thanks for all the help
as far as the off line thing. maybe i miss spoke its not so much with me getting off line, though i know what your talking about you get out into what i call the rubble and yeah any car will blow for a few turns.. i was saying more that when i have to check up my speed cuz the guy in front of me checks or i just need to slow aggressivly, not really hitting the brakes. is when she likes to break loose if that makes sense

fyi aric is a kid i run with

so at this point im leaning toward ingnoring the loose rear and just gonna focus on the push and as i get that out the loose should take care of itself.?
ive had this before with offroad.. the trouble is trying to decide if its the front has so much traction that the car is pushing or the rear has so much traction that its loose
