I bought the aluminum hubs and want to try some different pistons since mine has a ton of pack. Is it normal to run lots of pack in a t5m? I love the looks of these trucks and for the first time that I can ever remember I ran 2 heats w/out a crash(I did end up stuck front end against the pipes but that was it). The only bad thing that happened on Sunday was that some how I cracked my new body, It has my personal best paint job to date. So some drywall tape and shoe goo will have to fix that.
Great truck/class and thanks for the help guys, I really liked the 27Gram (I think not the 40 something) brass weight under the shorty. I've never been so consistent before.

I do want to try 3x1.4 and a few springs also.
Ps. We talked there I had the black n gold truck
Bumps Stadium Truck Thread?
Are you guys running white truck springs front and rear?
What wt. oil?
It was my 1st time at bumps with the truck I was pushing and loose.
I ran a broke in set of tires I borrowed from Troy so they were not the issue.
