I had a similar situation yesterday...my truck is set up for high bite indoor clay track & I ran on a loose outdoor track. I didnt have much time to change things but I did go back to blue springs in the rear & I wanted to go to 1.3 pistons from the 1.2 but didn't have enough time. Tires is also a huge tuning option. Gridirons would have been best but all I had was cityblocks...they were good enough, I would have won with gridirons. Lastly I think the exotec chassis would be awesome on a outdoor track, making the weight as low as possible.

I couldn't put the power down for nothing. Everytime I turned I thought the back-end was going to come around.
Tried everything, pulleys, pins, current limiting, loose as heck slipper. Couldn't make it work for nothing.
Drove my bud's Losi for a bit and could tell the massive difference in these conditions. His truck put the power down real nice and was very predictable.
I was down 2 laps after 10mins. Not good.
Thanks goodness we don't run on that track very often, if we did I wouldn't have bought the Ae anyways. We mainly run indoors, where I normally clean up and AE rules....
Being on this side of an ace-whoopin ain't too much fun. I did manage a 3rd place, only because one of the Losis (my bud
) hit LVC......
Does anybody run in these conditions w/ success?
