So I'll be changing my anti-squat back to how it was and lowering my center diff fluid. Do you think that putting 7k in it will be enough of a change? Or should I put 5k in it?
Regardless, I placed 5th in the a-main with this truck my 2nd time ever running this class. It was a pretty big memorial day race with 3 full heats of CORR truck and I beat some really talented drivers so, even though the truck isn't quite where I want it yet, it is still amazing and the steering and stability it has is incredible.
Stand your rear shocks back up (out on the tower) if you're loose in the rear. Laying them down is most likely what caused the loose off power feeling, not taking out antisquat. Less antisquat will give you more rear traction into a turn because it's allowing the suspension to be more effective through the turn. To exaggerate my point, imagine if you ran 90° of antisquat (arms vertical)- through a turn, the suspension wouldn't be able to compress and the car would just slide. This applies to accelerating in a straight line as well. With the arms vertical, the suspension can't compress and the car would do a wheelie if there was enough traction.
