I have a question for you all... well, a story of sorts. I've been running my trucks since I got it with the same shock setup that I bought it with (second hand). It's always seemed a bit loose in the rear end, especially when the track isn't wet down. It's a clay surface with loose dust on top.
Any way, the other day, just for kicks I changed the shock oil from 40f, 30r to 35f, 30r. Seemed to make the truck handle the bumpy stuff a bit better, but she was still a bit loose in the bum. So the next thing I did was change the front shock position from the nearest to center holes on the tower and inner most hold on the arms to the outer most hole on the tower and left the arm position unchanged. This made the truck way, way, way more predictable.

I thought it was supposed to work the other way around?
The more vertical the shock is, the more responsive it will be come! So that is what made it respond, my t4 was having terrible understeer issues(prolly cause the 3800 4pole) but I took the shocks from the inner hole on the tower and outer hole on the a-arm, to the outer hole on the tower, and inner hole on the a-arm and now the front will bite way more!!!!
