Had some very bad bearings, one very bent cvd (dont know how I missed that one), one front shock had a torn bladder along with a bent upper shock mount, and yes I had .9 clutch springs on the buggy and truggy.
Buggy is ready to go again with the new BCE +3mm chassis and truggy is almost back together without all my trick setups, back to normal, LOL! 1.0mm clutch springs too.

Empty or thinned fluid in the diffs would explain the "loose" feeling. Wrong tires for the loose topcoat on the track. Ride height looked a little tall out back. And I'd love to spend some time with that engine...out of balance and blubbery-rich isn't easy to drive when it clears. Go easy on yourself Hans. It was night time and you were out there with little or no time on the track or the truggy this season. All about the fun, man.... I think you were top 5 in the having fun class! I noticed the wobbling CVDs on the box. Bearing and/or outdrive eaters.

My outdrives are notched so bad that they'll bind the suspension. Might need a little more time before my D8 hits the track.

Trying to talk myself into buying some sweep truggy tires, just can't seem to pull the trigger cause I have quite a few sets to use up.

The AE's are notorious for cvd's bending, some thing you live with but the one on the truggy after the race was very bent, did'nt check but couldn't have been in the outdrive very far!
