Basically any help would be greatly appreciated so that my rear is more planted and not sliding all over the track like it has been and spinning out alot.........
Soften the rear springs?
Lower the rear ride height a bit?
put on .5 degree rear hubs.. That extra 1/2 degree of rear toe on top of the 3 degrees it has stock really changes things.
Do you have weight on the rear of chassis? if no, I'd throw 1 1/2 oz or so under rear shock tower behind battery... try it and check lap times, add more and try again, stop adding weight when laptimes slow down.
just .02cents.. try any and see if it helps.
edit: if that's the first time at that track.. don't assume those tires are what you need. Sometimes the easiest thing is to try different tire combo's as they REALLY make or break the truck regardless of setup.
