I ran Kody's setup today and the truck was dialed, layout was different so can't compare lap-times though. Truck was consistent and stable but was it better than the Rcshox/3rd part setup - short answer - no, was it worse, no, it was basically the same but less twitchy and less corner speed. All evened out in the end. There are obviously two ways to skin a cat here and both work equally well. But that begs the question - Is there a magical combination of RCshox parts and a dialed AE setup? I'm going to try and find out.
My track is a bumpy, dusty medium sized 1/8 outdoor track.
As for tires, well, 7 trucks in the 4x4 Amain and 6 different treads so as of now (track's first year) nobody knows lol.
So in short, the RCShox setup carries more corner speed but is twitchy. Good to know, maybe a hybrid of the two could work really well?

You can get your glue to last longer by keeping it in the fridge.

Then his truck was all good , know it was cus I tested his truck after switching back to AE ..

I use black AE grease (thought you would like that one WC!) around the diff edges and other manual stated locations and it seems to be working.

Heck, have personally wondered if even more chassis machined parts like the exotek one could benefit the vehicle. (front chassis, etc)

As with you,I have been hit on multiple occasions even when paying attention and off the lane. I would rather not even go onto the track but most facilities do not provide marshals for us.

after taking a truggy to the face a few years ago when someone hit this weird jump wrong (it would shoot you almost straight up, then you pinned the brakes to nose down, lol SCs would flip over today) and I wasn't even on the track as a marshall, I carefully choose where I am marshalling nowadays. Try to avoid locations near big jumps or high speed sections.
And, if you are the idiot who will stay on throttle when I try to flip you, I will just wait for you to stop (I do raise a hand to give notice though that I am ready to flip you, just get off the dam throttle).
No testing this weekend, few things came up and the weather wasn't fully cooperative for what I was trying to simulate.
