We run on a loose dirty dusty almost 1/8 scale track and the thing is hard to get balanced.
The rear end wants to pass the front in sweepers or coming out of tight corners.
Currently started with the FT stock manual setup. running a castle 4 pole with M4 calibers.
took off both swaybars and it helped... reduced preload a lot and that helped.
after a couple of batteries the rear diff seemed to be locking up so that was it for night one.
Now digging deep to access the diff.
Is this diff a shim issue?
Center diff is the best thing you can buy for that type of track which is what the setup i posted a few days ago is for. It has been proven time and time again that it very difficult to get any slipper to work good on a loose track. In the meantime make the front of the truck less aggressive via inside Roll center shims and front end alignment of 0 camber, 1*toe in and the ackerman bar in the far back position ( the RCShox ACKbar has two more holes than the FT block). Once you get the truck to "push " a little then you can bring the steering back to where it suits your style. yellow springs and sway bar also help.
