I’m assuming the roll center changed. Massive increase in turn in I can use. The rear is probably loose enough I don’t need more exit steering.

I'm with u on that. I got the rear end pretty locked in though

well.. after testing last night with the new aluminum parts.. the truck is faster and for sure has more cornering, and more speed through the corner.. and as windellmc said.. the rear end is alot more free than i like.. it will take a little bit of massaging to get it back how i like it..

i did a back to back.. didnt change anything setup wise.. i was faster in overall lap time.. but.. consistency was lower..

i couldnt get on the throttle as early as i could with the stock front end.. however.. the truck was much faster with the aluminum parts on it.

i gained about 0.8 seconds on fast lap.. my consistency went down due to not being used to the huge amount of steering.. i think some changes to the rear end will help in this..

overall.. very happy with the new parts.. on my fast lap with the truck.. it didnt even feel like i was driving that hard.. alot of that is my driving style though.. friend of mine even was suprised with the time i put..

Does anyone think with the new parts coming out that a 2018 version of the truck will be released?

dgrobe2112

There will not be a 2018 truck as i understand it.

what new parts are you talking about? There are some parts from the 2018 buggy that are compatible, but not much. the shock bladders, the rear wing mount. Thats basically it.

The ones Juraj mentioned on his Facebook page that appear to be for the front end.

i believe thats the new aluminum front end parts. they are available as aftermarket for the truck. they wont come on the truck as standard parts.
