Does anyone here run dcj's on their mini? I'm running my mini with fairly low ride height and it has serious wheel hop compared to those I run against so I'm curious to try a double jointed driveshaft to see if this helps, I also ordered the gold front suspension pins to increase my front shock travel. Also the track I run at calls for the johnson silver can motor so I'm looking for proper break in advice as all of my motor experience has been brushless. There is a guy at the track using 55mm tires vs my 60mm ones with the same gearing and somehow he's faster than me on the back straight away, fortunately he does make some mistakes so I've been able to beat him but I have to drive near flawlessly with standard deviations on two tenths or less. I've heard he uses old motors out of clod busters and his motor looks chrome plated where my johnson 540 is not quite as shiny... maybe that's the difference?
