Starting out with an RTR SC10 RS- getting the truck sorted for a low-traction outdoor track. Already added a ball diff, a bunch of weight and ordered Losi 1 and 2 degree hub carriers.
Need more rear traction.
Have you looked into what tires some of the faster guys are running?
I have battery forward. 3oz weight under foam behind the battery. 1/4 oz n front of the servo, 1/4 oz in front of the shock tower. My truck feels like it is on rails. I went from a castle 1410 3800kv motor back to the Stock RS Reedy 3300kv motor. went faster and was able to get more traction.
Also may want to look into gearing depending on where you are losing the traction,.
