Mimi do you have any ready-to-run trucks right now? I got a buddy who might come out tonight and want to race for the first time

I am finding the 2WD buggy class the most challenging to set-up and drive. I get good turn-in, mid corner push and then oversteer on exit(on power), usually putting me square into the pipe. I've heard a few recommendations to stay on the gas through the turn to plant the tires, which may work on some of the faster corners. There is definately more at work than driving technique.
I may just spend an entire practice day throwing everything I can at the car to see what works. Camber links, rear toe, springs, and tires are on my list.
I would be interested in hearing if anyone else is struggling geting their buggy up to "race pace".

I'm in the middle of switching over to the B4.1 given the popularity of the platform with THE TRACK regulars. I started with Ryan Maifield Reedy International Off Road Race of Champions 01/29/2012. I currently have green barcodes or rips front tires with green barcode v1 or brocode rears available. I'm glueing up M4 suburbs front and rear since those are also a recommended tire for our surface. I run a shorty pack, which is something the Losi 22 basically requires, but not all B4.1 drivers are using them, I noticed.
If I could get the buggy consistent it would be more fun to run. Right now, taking other people out during races makes it harder to drive wheel to wheel. I'm sure more time with the car would make a big difference as I see this buggy running well with so many other people.

Fun racing again, lost my Zen like calm for a bit in the buggy qualifier for a bit though. 2WD sct was a blast again with clean driving, courteous lappers and a tight finish. Most fun class in the building!

DUDU car for sale!!
im trying out the durango dex410 and now its time to let that b44.1 go.
the buggy is really dialed with big bore shocks and freshly built front and rear diffs with the Bfast pro driver diff kit (ceramic thrust and carbide diffs balls). Diffs are built rite and slipper is set rite. Also got the avid 3 pad slipper which is similar to the slipper on the b44.2 NIP but did not yet feel the need to run this.
If anyone wants it I let me know and we can work out a deal. If you have seen this buggy run before you know it works!!
