If I do, the back end just comes around me. Once straight, I can gun it.
I drive on a high grip wet clay indoor track. On Saturday, I switched the rear tires to some Pro-Line suburbs in M3 (Soft) compound that I turned into slicks and the truck was working for me, although still not how I'd like. On Wed, they started drying the track out for a reconfig next week and the same tires were horrible. I tried slicks that I made from suburbs in MC (Clay) compound and they were even worse. I tried Bar Codes in Gold and that was as bad as the clay suburbs slicks. Other racers were running these same tires with success so I feel I have a setup issue. Here is my setup:

I feel like I'm driving this thing on ice. My fastest lap last night was 27.5. That was slowest of anyone in all 3 mains. I was embarrased more than anything. I have V2 shocks coming with the Avid BB conversion. I'm currently running the stock RTR RS ones (blue ones) and I believe piston 2 is in front and rear. I have the Racer's Edge rear hub carriers to install and the ball diff. I'm just wondering what people think I can change to help plant the rear end.
Thanks in advance guys. Really appreciate it.
Hey Man,
Set your Camber too 0 In the rear and triple make sure that both rear wheels are at 0. And that your front is at -1. Second I would try running the Sway Bar. I would start with the Silver Bar. For your ride height in the back I would just check to see if your dog bones are level if there not then make them level.
Get the
version 2 Slipper
I don't know if you have this but being able to run your slipper loose will give you a more consistent feel. Try running some weight in the rear and placing your battery in the back with the foam in front. I would start with 1.5oz in behind the battery and and a quarter ounce on each of the triangles in the back.
Hope this helps!
