I need a little help with my setup I have an 8t 2.0 electric and I have a couple issues. My setup is stock out of the box race roller. I set front toe out to about 2+ degrees as it came with about 8+ also went to purple rear springs to achive reccomended ride height of 38 front and 42 rear also changed center diff to 20k as the 10k with brushless just unloads the front so much. This did not seem to really change anything except better acceleration.
What I am looking for is more on power steering as it pushes more than I would like also when I enter corner off power I could use more rear traction as it has good turn in but tends to have the tail end rotate a bit too much. also I think overall the suspension is just too stiff after I set the ride height both with the gray or purple rear and stock black fronts but with the black front and gray rear it takes alot of preload to get ride height as manual recomends. Let me know what you think, I am sure that some will mention the heavy center diff but it did not really change much for my setup so I would like to try other changes before making a change to this part of setup.
It maybe fine to have the purple springs on the rear if they are stiffer then the greys because the electric is heavier then gas. The V2 rear tower is a lot better for the truck also. For on-power steering, try the V2 tower with the shocks on the outer hole. Try the low inside rear camber link on the tower and inside hole on the rear hub. You will need to cut the camber rods shorter or buy another set of front rods as they are shorter. Then put on a 2.0mm rear sway bar.
You will have to play around with diff oils F and center to help with the ballooning. My suggestion is that you probably have way too much motor and/or too much throttle input.
