Truck needs overall more rear traction. It doesnt even drive like a 4wd. I think I could run just as fast with a SC10 2wd. Compared to my B44, when the B44 breaks loose I can punch the throttle and straighten out. That is how I expect a 4wd to react. When I do that in the SC10 4x4 it will spin out just like a 2wd. I have to baby it out of corners and getting on the streight away. Feels unstable on the streight. Has too much steering around center.
Its odd. I feel I might not have something quite right.
yeah, you really don't want to raise the link position on the rear tower if you have traction issues now.
I raised this when on carpet high traction as I was traction rolling immediately.
Not sure if you have it already, but you really want the M2C rear toe in block for more toe in. Prior to that, on the stuff we race on our here its so loose that I could basically do pirouettes down the straight as I had so little traction.
Add that toe in the rear locked the vehicle in. I could pitch it like a losi hard and drive it out of turns very fast.
Never understood that apparently out of all AEs offroad vehicles, this one doesn't have the option for more rear toe from the manufacturer.
Maybe they can make some rear hubs that have inserts in the next revision as well as a similar setup that M2C came up with.
Personally the +8mm mod that sounds similar to what you are doing I felt I got alittle bit more traction from it, but then it seems that position on the tower counter acts any gains there. So I would suggest take it off and start from there.
Can you post your full setup. Are there vids of the track?
