Unrelated but what the heck is the point of the washer being above the balls on the camber links (between screw head and ball)? If you're running less than the stock 4, wouldnt it be better to just use a shorter screw and drop the weight all together?

I dont think its causing the traction roll but why are you running thicker shock oil in the rear?
For the traction roll, are you sure its not the tires and/or track? And idk if its my comp but I cant see any marking for rear hub mounting hole and front shock tower camber link holes?

The track could be a reason, there are some “holes” exactly on the middle of the corners, sometimes also the place where I’m having the roll problem, but I haven’t seen this happened to other drivers. It’s like entering fast to a corner, then in the middle a suddenly roll, feel like a spontaneous doses of grip.
Not sure about tires, feels fine, I tried different alternatives but the AKA soft impacts seems the best option for me. I was thinking give a try to aka catapults.
The rear hub it’s on the C position and the front shock tower camber link it’s on the 4 position (the higher hole on the outside)

A mistake I made on the sheet, its 37.5 on the rear and 42.5 on the front.

At least they outperform Blockades in such conditions (X3 vs X3), haven't tried Holeshots yet.

Have a Clockwork Picco Boost 5TR on the way; excited to mess around with my first modded engine. Not expecting quicker laptimes but wanted just a bit more than my engine was providing on the bottom end.

As fast and powerful as the Picco is there is something special about how it lays down its power....At my track the Picco holds track record in both Buggy and truggy...So keep us posted on the laptimes, you may be suprised

Spent some time at the track today after not maintaining the car since last weeks JBRL (something I almost never do). The race was pretty rough, ended up with a broken rear body mount (didnt leave a mark on the body), a bent rear center drive shaft, and a bind somewhere else in the drivetrain. The track had a long double with a short run up that I cased quite a few times and this undoubtedly did the damage. Havent ripped it all the way apart to find out what is binding but if I had to guess, I'd figure it to be the rear bulkhead. I'll be doing the typical tear down tomorrow and find out for sure. The bad side of this is I wont be racing tomorrow since I didnt do the tear down Monday and order the parts (no local parts source). Was fun to run laps today on the new layout but I would have happily given that up to race tomorrow. That is what I get for procrastinating!

Where would you be racing at tomorrow?

I was going to hit Revelation because of the new layout. I was really hoping it would be great but in reality, it was fairly disappointing. I would have preferred heading down to Heritage for the Mugen series but had to try it out. The "Sik" track, wasnt.
