Have you tried the M2C conical pistons? They rebound a lot faster, but you still get the dampening that you need for the jumps..they work really good.

That's the best way to find out is to test em. Also a trick to try is thing the front sway bar off. ;) remember one change at a time tho.

By taking the front sway bar off what will the advantage be on a rough track?

It frees up each arm, so the front feels more free. I haven't tries it on a truely rough track yet. I will report back after tomorrows quallies. They got rained out when I was about to test it in my second qually today.

Best $15 I've spent..:lol:..I've done the shock cap mod and it works on making the shocks more consistent..so after watching a few 2.0's that had the M2C pistons and seeing how much more stable they were in the rough stuff and how they seemed to land off the jumps sold me..:nod:..no more getting "upset" after landing off the big jumps..

Is the M2C Piston a Losi Part?

No it's made by M2C, conical delrin pistons..simple design but for some tracks they do give you an advantage..and that's what most of us are looking for..:nod:

Are the 2.0 servo saver redesigned yet? I remember that when they first came out, I had bought the 1.0 saver and spring. Just wondering if they made a running change, as mine is starting to get sloppy. Thanks guys........

Yes they made a running change quite awhile ago.;)

Thanks, Jammin! Also is anyone running inclined spindles on their truggy? I just ordered a set (12*) for the buggy but not sure how I will like them. I want less twitch from the buggy and some more on power steering from the Trug. Thanks guys for any info............

Lately I've been running the 10's on the truggy and the 12's on the buggy. The 12's certainly make the buggy a bit less "twitchy". I like them on the buggy on a high speed track I've been running on. I think they will take too much turn-in out of the truggy, but I haven't tried them on it yet. The 10's are money on both cars.:nod:

The diff ring gears are the same between buggy and truggy right? The diff pinions are the ones that are 13t for buggy and 10t for truggy?

I only ask because I have a spare diff built but it has a '45t' ring gear. I have no idea how I ended up with this one. LOL.

How can I get the car to come around better in 180 and other tight turns?
Today if I didn't tap the brakes at the right moment to swing the end out the car was impossibly slow in these tight turn. Does this sound like a situation for the v2 rear tower?

short link the rear and it will help. i would get a v2 tower also but shorter link setup on the rear will loos'n the arse up a bit and let it rotate faster.

If the R&P are black they are for truggy. Silver is for buggy.
