+1 Mike. Hows it going getting ready for winter yet:lol::lol: They say this winter might be record breaking. Our record snowfall for the year is 367 inches:cry::cry: rc snowmobile maybe:nod: I know i tried so many setups that dont work. My only problem is the rear is so loose,and cant get it right. diff, shock oils, camber 12 degree inclined spindles,toe,camber link setups,tires,clutch setups,radio setups. went thru the whole complete truck.everything is smooth and free. Just cant figure it out.

When you say loose, does the truck spin-out or does the rear end just rotate too fast?

rear just rotates way to fast. Its like the front has way to much traction,really twitchy.actually its more twitchy than the buggy?? and i do go thru the truck every race weekend,probably more than most just to make sure everything is good. Thanks for your help guys,anymore:nod::nod:

I've honestly never thrown my truck down on the track and wanted less steering.. i'm always trying to get more.. So it seems odd that your truck could be that loose..

it's hard to make suggestions without knowing your complete setup..

Also.. is it loose entering the corner or exiting? If it's loose exiting, i'd say take the inclined spindles off for sure..

try running 3k in the rear diff...it seems like you think its twitchy is because the rear is unloading real quick.....maybe try running less camber gain and try to adjust your camber to make sure your rear tires track stays flat on the ground through the whole suspension stroke!...if you can get more traction and less wheelspin do YOU think it will solve your problem?

+1 i find it hard to believe these trucks can ever feel more TWITCHY then a buggy:weird:....maybe i should try your setup!...whats your setup:D ....im not joking! whats your setup!...i want to try it! sounds like a great setup!:nod:

Im not kidding:lol: it has more steering than i need. Out of everyone running a losi at our tracks, mine can outsteer them in the corners. I had losi ever since they came out.quite a few of them.And this one doesnt seem the same as the rest of them!! I had my buddys drive mine compared to theirs they said the same thing. Man is this hard to drive ?? I have the stock carriers with the aluminum spindles on it now,same thing as the inclined twitchy :weird: .We run on hard packed with dusty top.and alot of jumps.and corners.Its mainy coming out of a corner getting on the throttle and it just starts to slide all over.you almost have to come to a stop and get back on the gas again. :confused::confused:

Just in the rear. Front links are in their standard positions.

I sort of agree, however after trying many different setups I can safely saw I will never go back to the original tower. Thus the reason I recommended it right off the bat. It is THAT good.;)

I totally agree. The new hole makes a huge difference. I tried your set-up minus the short ackerman and it absolutely rocked. :nod:

It does make a big difference. Thanks for the props on the setup. I really like it too. The short ackerman comes from running on a lot of tight twisty tracks.:nod:
