The car was great but i need a bit more rear traction on throttle. The track is dry, has low traction with very thick dust (rooster tail on throttle

) and hard packed dusty on some areas, also bumpy.

This is my setup changes from box setup:
Rear:
AE Black Spring
30 wt with 1.7mm piston
-1 deg. of camber
2mm washer in inner camber link (unshaved brace)
3.5 deg of inboard toe (haven't got the 0.5 deg hub)
short wheel base
5g of weight each on rear pod
20g of weight on receiver side
24/81 gearing (running a 8.5t)
battery all the way back (full size pack)
Sweep square armor tires

Front:
0 deg of camber
1mm washer in inner camber link
20g of weight under servo (I'm using short servo)
VP pro square ribs tires with closed cell inserts

Thanks

I would remove all the weights except for the one that came with the factory kit. Then throw green springs on in the front and back. Make sure your ride height is at 23 1/2. Also for your pinion I would go with a 23t. Also get a shorty pack and tuck all your excess electronics (capacitor and receiver) under your ESC shelf and you should be good to go. My first couple of days with this set up I got a bunch of rolls but you will learn to control the car with ease and it also whips really easy. One of my friends that is sponsored really likes my setup but he cant run it since he is sponsored by another RC company, he actually helped me dial in the car. Good luck.
