Are we allowed to post videos in here?
I want to have some opinions on how to tighten in the rear end on the car in this video. It feels very loose all the time. What can I do?

What is your current setup, tires, etc.

I know that for me getting the v2 shock tower, some incline spindles and dropping my ride height did a ton. Like the guy told me who helped me out - track time is better than anything you can read here.

I was running Drake's setup thinking it would dial the car. Well, I watched him and wow - dialed. I changed my ride height to his and it was night and day difference - the rear end stayed planted.

Post your setup though and I am sure some guys here will have some very good input, but your best bet is to find someone that runs there and see how they are setup.

TIRES are big though, wrong tire you will never get traction regardless of setup.

it really dint look to bad in the vid, i think the track surface has alot to do with it, looked like there was a ton of small rocks/pebbles/loose gravel on the track. do you guys blow it off or sweep it before a race?

That's all surface related.

I agree it dosent look that bad. I agree that the track surface is like rolling on marbles. But move the rear link up on the tower and or the tear hubs forward.

reciever packs.?.
 
Just interested in what RX Packs you guys are running.?.
I have everything from 1700mah LifE's to 2600mah nimi's but I really want a Lipo.(I actually already have the losi voltage regulator) im just waiting for my LHS to get my lipo's in seeming to take forever.:flaming:.
And would it be better just to go with High voltage servos instead of using the regulator.?.
Im in the mind set that the more things you add to the truggy the more things can go wrong..

The HV servos are the best. You aren't relying on a regulator, which is something else that can break. I would also assume it is difficult to cram into the already tight radio tray. I run the Hitecs and have never had an issue, fingers crossed, knock on wood.

Yeah truggy doesnt look to bad and definatley surface related...boy I bet its like a grinder on the chassis ..wouldnt catch me running there:(
