Anyway can someone help me out with a decent starting setup with 10mm v2 shocks and Losi 12mm bb springs? I went out today for some laps but rear grip was not there really I am running m3 Calibers on outdoor with a little dust had yellow rear springs and red front springs not sure about shock weight. I have got my 2wd SCT dialed and ran better laps with it so I know it's in need of a setup change/rebuild. Looking for any suggestions I have searched but get so many unrelated answers. Also foams I trimmed mine down to round edges but have a few soft spots in tire. One more thing the diff feels a little bumpy when I rotate wheels opposite how smooth should it feel? Thanks!
Hey Mick, when our track is that way, it's hard to get grip. You just have to learn to drive it that way to be honest. It's not an 1/8th scale.
However, I've been told Holeshots and Bowties work well when the track is that way. I've bought a set and plan to try them. We'll compare tires some this weekend.
Otherwise, the other gentlemen is correct. If the diff feels bumpy, rebuild it. It has to be smooth. Rebuild it by the instructions exactly!
