What is the preferred Lipo of choice, shorty or standard stick pack? And what capacity Lipo's give a good balance of light weight and decent runtime, 3800/4200 shorties or 5-6k sticks?
Shorty pack all the way man, at least for clay or other med/high bite tracks. What we found was that a full size pack puts too much weight on the rear axle and the car has too much rear traction. Switching to a shorty run all the way forward really woke the car up, and there is still tons of rear grip. Outdoor season has started, so we'll try the stick pack again and see what works best. Our local outdoor track is 1/8 style and usually pretty loose.

Worn outdrives can definitely be the cause, but running the max amount of droop will do it even with new outdrives.
