try running a lower front ride height and 3-B on the front camber links
also make sure your front wheels are not locking when you break
i use that and get heaps more off power steering

if you use the 3-B camber link just check that the ball end doesnt rub on the top of the carriers near the king pin. sometimes you have to file a little bit off the inside edge of the carriers

I usually go until the springs wear out or I get lazy and dont want to replace the line inside I would say 4-6 months is avg racing 2-3x per month.

What about just changing the lid? Is that like the thing to do?

Increase rear brake bias/decrease front brake

Increase negative camber in the rear.

Increase front toe (it will let you come in faster, brake a touch later and "flip" the truck around the corner).

Different tires front/rear (AKA Cityblock front, Ibeam rear).

Trim rear wing lip.

There's a lot more you can do as well; but the tires and rear brake bias are two major points that the truck will react to.

I replace mine quite often. Usually every month or so depending on how much I'm running. In other words that's during the summer. Winter time I don't run much nitro. I usually go through a couple during the summer. Not sure that's necessary, but one of my biggest pet peeves is air leaks. I don't like the idea of just changing the lid. Tanks are cheap enough to replace every couple months.

I replace my tank when it breaks. I change my fuel line when I notice it leaking out of the hose inlet. I've yet to replace the spring or rebuild a tank. If I don't have to throw $20 down the drain I avoid that upkeep cost.

It's a pain in the ass and I don't need any more of those on my bench.

Im with you. 15 bucks is worth putting into my car roughly every month or two for piece of mind. i dont have to worry about fuel link going old or the springs going weak

Questions?? brake discs

question guys, will the brake rotors from a 1.0 work on a 2.0, I'm wanna get the xtreme racing carbon fiber discs http://www.xtremercracing.com/Store_...ue&SnipID=6135 but they only show what looks like they are for the 1.0 . I have a set of these on my Cen Matrix R2 they work really great,no fade whatsoever. does the smaller rotor take a different size brake pad? I have the "improved" rotors from Losi but IMO they aren't all that good. I was also looking at the rotors from Avid, does anybody have any experience with those? thanks for any info.
