7. Make sure air filter is clean and flows well
8. Check carb linkage and be sure carb is opening all the way
9. Roll-out the truck on ground (by hand), make sure nothing is dragging
10. Tighten your slipper all the way, then just drive a little smoother
11. Consider a new engine, like the LRP Spec 3
1) Am waiting for it to arrive, but I stripped a drive cup screw (rear driveshaft), have to drill it out and get a new one.
2) Pro-Line Bow-Tie's, MTR
3) Clutch suits me well.
4) Figured out the tune.
5) Probably will switch to it Sunday, might need another head shim.
6) Stock works very well for me.
7) Brand new one in now.
8) Check it very often.
9) Diffs are grinding very little, can't do much about it.
10) Spur is almost always set as tight as possible.
11) Loving the LRP.
If it wasn't for the screw stripping out, I would be a very happy guy right now, but I have to go and get a carbide bit to drill it out.
