I also changed the position on the front tension from 3 to 1. ( I think 1 if that's all the way down) I saw on one of Mayfields setup sheet he ran position 3 in the rear and 1 on the front. That did make my belt a little tighter. So by making all these changes my temps dropped a bunch and for my track it has plenty of power/speed. I think I may be able to go up one more tooth if needed now. My question is would the belt tension have any effect on heat. Maybe it was to loose creating drag, I'm not really sure tho. All in all this truck is great to drive. Oh, also is there anyway to help with bringing the front end down in flight. While I like driving it like a 2wd truck it would be nice to be able to make the adjustment if needed.

1 is way too tight if you are running the stock pulley.
Maifield was running the overdrive pulley.

if belt pulley are stock I suggest 4 and 4 on the tension.
