The box setup with rr 2.3 sb, fr 2.5sb give good rear traction, as mention, i not pro. Try shock 0 rebound with red rr spring or maybe fr shock blue ring, upright spacer all behind is good. This buggy is too stable i think. I even run option rr/fr bracket with minimum 2.5 squat. 14degree c hub good to tame it agresiveness. Anyway try matrix super soft tire (fast ss)

Slowly converting my old version 1.0 car over to current specs. Already have the 2.0 rear end on the car, but does anyone know the part number for the v3 couplers as a complete kit front and rear centers? I have been out of the 1/8 scene for a couple of years

I haven't tried these yet but intend to. The truck rear uprights are taller so this moves the roll center up if you don't make any changes to the link position on the tower. This will decrease roll in the rear and should reduce rear traction some. This is a good thing because the car is so locked in the rear. I think it changes the bone angle a little also so that might have some effects.

Running 18k-18k-10k, feel like so much power but streering is less, guess 15k-15k-7k will be better. Any opinion?

Hi cczjordan
Do you know if there is any way I can increase 'Toe-In' on the rear wheels without decreasing the car overhaul wheelbase?

Insert 6 is max toe in (-3) if not mistaken, wheelbase is adjusted with spacer on upright, wheelbase do effect turning radius critically. Dont understand with overhaul wheelbase.
