Do you think it would help if you raised the front end (ride height) some to put more weight on the rear?

What I 'think' is the front end is getting too much traction so its biting in harder making the rear come out. Maybe doing that plus diff lube and going up in shock oil will help? just guessing here.


I have the similiar problem when I run my sc10 2wd.

Wish my truck was running, stupid servo gear is stripped out. Some buddys of mine are doing a money race just for the heck of it. gahh
We need more droop in the rear shocks. I ran my stock shocks back to back with losi 8ight shocks setup to be similar to the stockers with the exception I had 5mm more droop in the rear. It was a night and day difference with rear traction much better with the longer losi shocks. I'm going to try and unscrew my rear shocks a bit but that'll only give me a couple of mm's. Compare the rear of our car compared to a losi and you'll see the losi's have alot more rear droop available.

AE- we need longer shock shafts/and or bodies for the rear, not everyone runs on a super smooth track. oh yeah, and swaybars, we need them too, lol
