So I decided to convert mine over to saddle pack configuration using
04SilverRS's B44.1 setup and his actual truck setup. He runs on a super tight
indoor track, I run on a slightly larger outdoor track, one that has a good long 180 degree sweeper as well as tight turns. HOLY COW!! My truck was transformed from a fun four wheel drive with major schizophrenic issues at times to a stable, planted, point-and-shoot truck that I can place anywhere, turn inside, pass outside anyone I want to! Now I know I'm not the best driver by any means..Intermediate class, mid pack guy. I'v driven my buddies'
Losi, I love it, but its a tank. I've been fighting to get that same kind of stability feeling out of the Associated, I finally have it!! I'm absolutely in love with this truck now. No more searching around for front tires with less traction to counteract other issues. All the Associateds at my track run stock fronts with good rear tires. I ran Calibers front and rear for the first time with absolute control of the vehicle wherever I pointed it. Air time manners are spot on now as well. everybody needs to try this setup!!
