Well, even Maifield doesn't run stock springs on his truck!! He's running all HB springs but you won't hear anyone bag on TLR for it but sure do like to bag on AE!!

Ok Taylor you are right on the Ae setup sheet it does say that but I was told by dyno dan that it's better for the average racer to have the extra stability than the extra steering. There are better ways to add more steering my friend. I feel adding stability makes the buggy handle better but I could be wrong just my 2 cents. Oh & just so you know this truggy has all the steering you need believe me!

Pics of these mods will be awesome.

Pm me I'll tell you the problem that v1 has no one wants to talk about. Did you try the 8x1.3 with the Ae oil yet. Just got mine dialed in perfect for the rough track 80-95'. 45wt ft 42.5wt rear these wt depends on the outside temp. Got to try it!
