I've got a field of cars with V2 slipper springs so I don't think that's the problem. My truck is working, I just don't like having no adjustment left on the slipper. Other brands of trucks seem to "squirt" from corner to corner on the tight sections and this thing just seems a little lazy. Honestly it's just as fast because it's smoother but it just doesn't have that "snap" to make the quick pass....

med. grip track, geared 13/62, clicker locked, running front overdrive pulley,
HD pad on the rear, stock pad for the front..


~for those who, like me, didn't think this truck turned as good as they wanted, the front overdrive pulley makes a big difference.
You might want to try a vented outer hub, as that seems to be a big change for some, as well as gearing down to a 12t. I personally didn't like the overdrive pulley as it actually seemed to take away some punch, but I also don't need more steering.
