Always good to know what type of track people run on when you read a particular setup.

I'm on a indoor med/high grip clay track. I've made some changes but at the moment the rear is real twitchy. I might have to go back to my 5/10/3 diff setup as it seemed to settle it down some. On and off power turn in and exiting is great but the rear is just way to sensitive.

Here's a video I did when I 1st built the car. The setup is way off from what I am running now and the track is a Tokyo drift style loose track which didn't help either. But here's a video in a track that I posted back in oct.

Team Durango makes a low profile m3 locknut that might work for you. It's about 1/2 the height and still has nylox

Car has 2 races on it and i have about $600 worth of parts i have for it, the truggy almost new, it has a bunch of hops on it and a bunch of parts. It will take me a while to get everything together. I have a bunch of parts for it. If intrested email me at [email protected].
