Had a good test n tune session today. I ran at a much better prepped track, smooth, very fast, hardpacked, clay, with some loam on top, medium traction.

This was my first time running on this track in weeks, so I was excited!

I had to drop down to a 13 tooth pinion, I was temping 187 with the 15 tooth.

came off at 143. Ran the front blue springs on the rear, once I set the ride height correct the truck really was awesome. I have to learn not to drive so aggressively, the truck really does reward you for driving smoothly.

As far as jumping goes, the truck was nose down or level the whole time. I had my drag brake set at 10 and I think this is what was keeping nose down. I could give it a quick blip to bring up the front so it would land on all 4.

I first ran on double dees and it was fun dong the powerslide in turns but that's not really my style but its great if you nail it. I was also pushing on the turns. I(f they blow off loam tomorrow I'll go back to these cause they were working pretty good.)

I moved the shocks in board on the bottom and switched to Subcultures on on stock rims and got more steering. Truck ran great. I just have to watch my trigger finger but the truck is so much better now than the last time I ran at this track.

the only thing I want to try is bumping up shock oil 2.5 wt all around cause it was absorbing the bumps but looked a little too soft.

also ran with the new body, love it jconcepts silverado hi flow bright orange!

so I'm going to keep fine tuning. Overall pretty happy with the truck. Just need to work on getting more practice.

here's some pics of the track and my ride. track is about 95 x100
