Have run the Drake setup now for six weeks or so and am finally comfortable with dirt racing. One thing I would like to change is to reduce the amount of weight transfer when on power. It is not bad but want to make it less. The front lifts and the rear squats a bit more than I would like. What would be the best ajustment to make to what part to accomplish this. I have some ideas but just want to hear from others. I run on a fairly tight course with one 150 foot straight. Thanks.

+1 on the 8 starter box brackets on the ofna truggy box. I did the same mod and I love it. I upgrades to deans wet noodle and lipo and this box will start anything. Recently I broke in a grp .21 , .28 and an os speed. I never had to unstick the flywheel. Also switching from the buggy to a truggy is a snap. Would love to see pics of your box.

I had him mod up the losi aluminum ones for me and they are great. That was before the KHZ hubs were around and if you wanted aluminum hubs that was the only option. I also had him mod my aluminum front spindles, because I was having issues with those bearings too. Not as bad as the rears, but they were wearing fast.
These are the aluminum ones I had him mod.

Or you could just go with the KHZ ones.

I had one hub break on the old truck and that was enough to convince me to go aluminum.

although you wont need 2 sets.
ever since losi upgraded the hinge pin i've never seen or heard of someone breaking a plastic hub
also remember the more aluminium you put on your car the less flex it will have which will leed to more bent and broken turnbuckles
i used to break ball ends all the time when i had the aluminium hubs on the 8T and ive never broken one since i went back to the plastic hubs
