I agree with Craig, When bite is high there are not many if any SC's that can compete with me here. When the track gets dry that is when the Losi's come up to battle with me. With the V2 center diff it makes all the difference for me with this working on a lower bite track, but the lack of front weight is some of why the adjustable version v2 of the center diff was needed for the high bite track.(In my testing)

I did finally do the no oil in the shocks bouncy test of your's Craig and found that Blue fronts with White Shorty Rears and 30 grams behind the saddle pack make my truck bounce equal. (Moved the front shocks back to the middle hole too). Pushing on the weight center of the truck it would move equal down and up. Driving it felt about the same except a few key spots on the track that just made the truck a little more dependable.
