Truck has plenty of steering, just way to loose. Started with the stock setup and ended up with yellow springs up front and short/lower camber link, whites in the back, no rear sway bar and the 8mm mod. This has made the truck a bit better but still not able to put the power down without the rear kicking around in high and low speed turns. If i try to stiffen up the front more via springs or shock locations it causes the truck to be inconsistent over the bumps and in the air. I also tried the overdrive pulley up front and saw no improvement so i went back to normal.
Any help is appreciated,
Blake
Center dif will solve most of your problem.
But until then most of your issues are coming from the front being too aggressive. raise the inside camber links to around 6mm, add toe in and go zero on your camber. if you are running the FT ackerman bar position it towards the rear, The RCshox ackbar will allow even further adjustment. use yellow front springs, yellow sway bar . and softest rear sway bar in the rear. basically just follow my setup on the RCShox thread since those are the conditions i mainly run in. run the front shocks all the way in on the tower and out on the arm, all the way out on the rear tower and inside on the arm, this will let the rear follow the front if that makes any sense!, it will also numb front steering.In the end the Cdif is going to be your best upgrade.
WC, man you really should just do some simple reading of the HUDY guide, you will learn alot and also quit giving bad information......AGAIN
According to HUDY:
REAR ARM, INNER HOLE
• Better for bumps and jumps
• Less side bite
•
More exit traction
REAR TOWER OUTER HOLE
• Less mid corner grip
• More traction into corner
•
Squares up better on exit
