I was wondering for all running the FT. Have you tried the short springs in the rear? Is this mod just to fix the way the car jumps? Reason I ask is because I run on everything from medium blue groove to large blown out tracks to tight indoor. I don't see the flight issue for this truck in any of the tracks I run on. Could it be this was fixed with the FT kit?
I run the blue rear front springs in the rear for a couple reasons. First is I run the renshock 550 4 pole motor which is a little heavier than my CC 1410. Second is I wanted more on power steering. The stiffer springs limit the weight transfer better when accelerating through a turn. One of those things that may or may not work for your setup. You don't know until you try. One bonus was better attitude in the air when jumping and being able to go with a lighter sway bar in the rear.
