Shane was right though, before you start chasing tires, get a good base set up on your truggy. Also, don't go making broad sweeping changes all at the same time. That will be too many variables to contend with. Start with a base set up, and make small changes, one thing at a time, and see what the results are.

I've seen folks change 4 or 5 settings at one time, AND switch tires. There's no way to tell what efffect each change had, because you don't know which one made the difference.
This is VERY good advice. Make ONE change, note the effect, and continue from there. And the stock Losi tires are not "bad" tires... although there are probably better choices for your conditions, they aren't the worst.

I personally like cityblocks in the conditions described, and calibers are very similar. Others may not like them.
