Add brand new tires and even with all that it still breaks traction while on throttle or out of a curve. Very frustrating.
Mines locked in 5-5-1 diffs, standup the rear suspension, I run rango white rear springs, no antisquat! I can't say that enough and max rear toe in. I was running short wheelbase and then slowly moved back to long wheelbase once I acclimated to the vehicle.
I run my rear links low and long but if you try all the above and the grip still isnt there you can try running shorter rear links to get the camber to change a little more when the suspension is loaded up turning.
Try driving it like a two wheel drive. It has tons of steering on or off power so you can really keep your corner speed up in the turns by just rolling off throttle setting the turn and then accelerating through. That's just my drivin preference though so those lighter diff fluids help with that style IMO.
Oh yea, no drag brake here either. I save that for on road carpet cars.
