a little race report from the RCpro finals here in porter TX: i have to be honest in that i just cant get the truck to "act" right, i am about 1.5 seconds off of the pace right now and just cant seem to get a good balance. quickest truck out here right now is Lutz's durango ( he is running laptimes quicker than 99% of pro Ebuggy!!) behind him is a slew of Losi's and i have the quickest SC10. track is hardpack clay, Very smooth and flosing track. i have changed and tried EVERY combo on the planet, even threw in stock pistons (thats a far stretch for me!!) best tire so far has been holeshot 2.0's. it just seems that no matter what i do it is just too "edgy" to drive fast and this edgy-ness stems from the front, i cannot get the truck to even get close to pushing. I think that if i can get some push then i can dial some steering back in to make it comfortable. i dont like running with lower EPA because of the turning radius.
Current setup:
Front
yellow springs
V1 RCshox pistons 1.1/1.2 35wt
5mm RC shims
outer arms/mid tower
24mm ride height
7k dif fluid

Rear
blue springs
1.1/1.2 pistons 25wt
2mm RC shims
outer arms /mid tower
24mm ride height
4k dif fluid

overdrive front pulley
3-3 rear toe block
pinned
added a pretty good amount of weight to the chassis sides (around 120g)
saddlepack




i have some good ideas where to go next but since there is no more practice i will have to experiment next week. I am not giving up especially since i have seen with my own eyes the dominance of the durango but i feel like there is still a missing element to this truck. i have two more qualifiers today and the finals start tomorrow , hopefully i can get a good enough run this morning to squeak into the A main!
