Now the track was pretty dry and loamy and my tires were not great, but even so with this setup I had trouble keeping the rear end from sliding around.
It seems like this setup may transfer too much power to the rear? With power on it was like doing "buggy drifting" around the track. Again maybe my tires were partly to blame but going up this much weight seemed to make the rear slide all over. Please advise any thoughts and what might work better in the center? Since I just rebuilt all the diffs I'd rather not change the front and rear unless I have to right now. Thanks!
Tires are the first thing you need to have for a setup and most important. A bad setup with good tires is better to have. Find out what tires top guys running and go from there. If rear end sliding out on you i would run 7k center and 2k in rear be easier to dive and have more rear side bite.
