i have noticed a difference in reversing the rear wheels. the tread pattern will bite more on good traction surfaces. dry sand and clay or pavement though, it makes little to no difference. . I tried it first because inf a former life i was an avid mountain biker and you could get away with two of the same tires for certain terrain by mounting the rear tire backwards. I tried it on my slash and liked the results.

so by reversing the rear tyres, that gives u better grip when turning?
i will be getting my slash soon so i might need some advice as well on setting up the truck. sry for kinda hijacking the thread

Would you say like on the front put the point of the v tread forwards or backwards. I'd go try it but its not so easy to go run my car on the weekdays between work and school.

First off, What controller are you using? If your using the stock controller there is your first issue.

I upgraded to a decent 2.4 ghz with steering control. That along helped my steering and control.

Next, what weight oil are you using in your shocks? Are there jumps? Try using 50wt oil in your shocks to help control while jumping.

Otherwise learn how to drive the truck. There are a lot of things you can do/mod/upgrade but learn how to use it before dumping a lot of money into it.

My 2 cents!

Yeah I have the futaba 2pl so that's covered. And with the shocks I'm not sure what's in em cuz I bought it used. But I made adjustments to cut the track, I think lol.

Yup if you can't drive it doesn't matter how much $$ you throw into it. Practice and setup make all the difference.
