running a thicker sway bar in the rear end will increase on power steering
if your not using smart diffs , running a thicker front diff oil also increases on power steering
running more droop on the front will increase on power steering to
run less toe in in the back may help to
are you running toe out at all ?

hope that helps alittle

how will runnin Adjustable Rear Hinge Pin Brace affect it? i plan on getting one prob this week.

i will try the more droop, im runnin 130 right now, does 135 sound to much?

and im runnin stock set up for toe, i have no way to gauge it so idk

adjustable hinge pin braces are a good in my buggy i run 2.5 toe in and 3 in my truggy.... try running a bit more droop even 2mm is a big differance you also just double chech your ride height if thats not rite you make all these changes and you may be chasing your tale ...

i have only just put smart diffs in my truggy they are dam good just running a centre by the sounds of things will asist in steering

i have a s.d in my buggy, i didnt really see that big of a difference for 100 but i got it for free so..... i will get the adj, hinge brace and see what that does, if it still pushes changing droop takes a min...... matt will you check your pm, your helpin a lot

Sorry bro I agree - easy on the gas - I run drakes standard set up with full rebound and and 10k in the center diff and the thing is dialed. No problem with turns - you cant power thru every turn - the 2.0 is the best handling truggy out there IMO nothings turns better or handle better that this.:nod:

This Kid races at my local track and has the best help anyone could have Casey Peck and Billy Fischer from TEAM LOSI there is nothing wrong with his Truggy He just doesnt know how to LET OFF THE GAS he hit everything but the Water Tank this last weekend. Stop wasting everyones time and listen to the PROS at your local track they know more than anybody you ask on this site!!!!!!!! They race there the guys on this site dont. JUST LISTEN:flaming:

just shorten up the rear camber link, very fast and easy change and makes a noticeable difference

So how many degrees of camber are you running on the rear?[/QUOTE]

I run 2 degrees

last weekend i was driving like crap, i totally agree, but i was sicker then a dog, usually i dont drive like that. Do me a favor vareck, Just dont give me any more help ok, you just seem to wanna put me down everytime so go ahead and keep it to your self, i appreciate it but would rather not have it


My 8t 2.0 has pushed from day one, i can deal with it if needed but i know i dont have to, as far as askin peck or fisher for help, i havent yet for set up, but i think if after i try a few thing i may but like i said, its so little push that i think i can fix it

mattwoodcraft 06-29-2009 01:28 PM

crimefighter in front, bow tie in rear.

i can make small corners fine because im off power, but we have like 2 small sweepers as you know, one at the back straight and one at the loop line, and i see many people power all the way thru that and i cant, i have to tap the throttle
