txaggie08 - Pick up some E-Revo shocks off ebay and take turns as fast as you can before tires slide out! It'll still perform with stock shocks too but E-Revo's are maintenance free, REAL stiff, and REAL low stance. Ran that setup on the Cocoa Speedway oval in 1:8th class with 4cell pushing 2400/MMP setup late last Summer/Fall. Took 2-90-degree inside lines on acrylic coated hardpack clay track faster than a drift line!

This was with battery all the way forward (a no-no) and Losi stock dirt oval tires (another no-no on this track) so rear was real loose:

Just picked up a Proline Desert Rat body today to convert the Backslash back over for some on-road exhibition runs at local HobbyTown Melbourne, Florida parking lot track! On 4cell w/1900/RX8 setup (1:8th motors in SSC chassis belong on-road since motor can is 2mm above bottom pan...).
