If you find you are on a surface that you need to lose some rear bite, you will want the longer ball studs that go on the rear shock tower so you can safely raise the ball stud height on the rear shock tower. I was up to like 5mm or 6mm on high traction carpet.

And whats up with v3 slipper mod, that in the last couple pages ive read a little about. but still unsure if its a upgrade from a vts slipper? and is slip the issue im having?
When you say its wanting to wait more in the turn, am I assuming its pushing through the turn if you try to get on power too soon versus the rear following the front where you want it to go?

I ran the vehicle on carpet and have a setup you could try especially if you have a center diff,though, the vehicle seems designed already with high traction in mind, feel free to post your setup too.

wonder if that smaller front pulley gear, I think the 19T could help?

but would want to see your setup first.

What i dont like is the jumping of this truck!! Of course we all know this but i forgot how annoying it is! So i am fired up about the belt drive reverse rotation project that i will start soon!
what Shark did and ran with recently looked very promising, and combining that in some manner with your Mod1 gears coudl be quite killer. Looking forward to seeing pics and vids of what you come up with!

Go with the outerwear filter. it allows the air to flow but keeps the crap out. Not cheap, but worth it in my opinion.

Based on how rear heavy the vehicle is, it seems quite popular to go with a 540 sized Pro4 motor to help get a bit more bias to the front.

I liked the feel of the Tekin Pro4 4000Kv motor in mine. If you are on a larger track, the 4600Kv may be better choice.

But, you can tune in more top end to the 4000kv by using VERY LITTLE TIMING in the higher RPM ranges. that way, I did this for my top end and it kept my temps low since you are adding it to the higher RPM ranges. I used like 5 degrees total.
