The last problem I am having is that the rear end wants to come around at high speed typically on the brakes.
Setup:
Front blue springs-rear red springs
Blue Swaybars front and rear
35w front 30w rear
All shocks middle hole top outside bottom
8mm mod
24mm ride height
v2 cdif 4 pins
.5oz weight in the front of chassis (added this afternoon, drives about the same with and without the weight)
Its not bad, it just wants to rotate too much on corner entry on the higher speed sweepers...If I push too hard into the corner I am going for a ride. The 8mm mod did make a huge difference but I just need a little more. I dont really want to swap springs as I like how the truck jumps and lands, if anything I would go up a spring front and rear to yellow fronts with green fronts in the rear.
I am thinking that maybe a slightly stiffer bar in the front may be my next tweak, seemed like the front had a little bit too much roll and that would make the rear softer in relation to the front. Curious to see what you guys would suggest.
What HUGE difference did the 8mm mod make? Yeah, a lot of setups use 2.2 mm front and rear sway bars. That is yellow I think. My front roll too much on higher bite too, everyone says use yellow springs front and rear. So i plan on guying them. Also, in my opinion the sc 4x4 likes you to stay on the gas, I have noticed if I pull off the gas too much on the sweepers it will swap ends. I assume this is in part do to the amount of drag the belt causes. Combined with a light truck causes instability when you on and off the throttle. That my 2 cents anyway. But I am very curious as to what you noticed with the 8mm on outdoor racing, since i plan to order the parts.
