I NOTICED A TON OF EXTRA TRACTION. JUST WITH THAT SIMPLE MOD. VERY HAPPY.
I will have to try this mod this weekend and it is so very simple. I recently purchased an S411 and put a Thunderpower Motor in it with the blue rotor and this has got a ton of torque in it. Enough that it would break the tail end loose coming out of the corners. I am hoping that this will help with the grip problem I am experiencing. I had tried laying the rear shocks down a bit more nut that didn't solve it. I will also try lowering the inside camber link on the rears to make them equal to the outside. Oh, yeah this has a gear diff in front also. Love the car!!! It is awesome!! Parts are alot less than the Xrays I used to drive. Thank you Serpent!!!!
