Loose and really hard to get any tire to hook up very well, so I just use what works best out of the tires I have and use the 3-3 block, and set everything else up the best I know how. I'm even using the 19t rear pulley. I have blue springs all around but it probably wont hurt to go a little lighter in the rear, where I have the most trouble. I have to baby the throttle to keep it from stepping out. I am hoping the center diff helps with this some also.
I'm borrowing a pro4 4k right now but as soon as the chinese new year stuff is caught up my Tenshock 411 4600 will be here. I love the excitement of knowing goodies are on the way
I switched to inline saddles before last race too, and got 16 laps on the new layout (all I have to compare is 15 laps the week before) so it may be just me getting used to the new layout. Seems like there isn't enough traction to notice the difference of the saddles though lol. Using 12/58 I got a little over 13 minutes of runtime with the gens ace 4800s. Probably from having to tip toe around the track.
I'm done rambling now, I've only owned the truck a month and really am starting to love it now that I'm getting it dialed in. Wasn't sure about it at first, always wanted to throw my electronics back in my Jammin' because at the time I could drive it a lot faster, but now I'm turning faster laps than I ever have.
You made a great choice as this a very capable truck. Dialing it in take a bit of doing but once you get it the SC10 4x4 rips. And when you put in that center diff...Phew! Flat out goes. You can be very aggressive around the track. Try out yellow springs and sway bars are a huge plus.
