The diff in the car if the diff is to LOCKED Feeling it will cause both the wheels to have a Posi feel and when in a turn the outside wheel is spinning the same speed as the inside wheel which will make the truck not turn sharp and push.
You have to find the right balance with the diff to get the proper traction and turning.
Here's how a proper diff should work in a turn. While turning the inside wheel will spin slower because it doesn't have to travel as far as the outside wheel, The outside wheel has to travel farther and faster then the inside wheel.
So if the diff has more of a Posi feel and there both spinning the same speed it wont handle well turning but you still want it to have enough of a Posi Feel to hook up and get the power to the ground.
Start with 3000ct Losi Diff Silicone if its a gear diff and a high bite track. If its loose and dusty and low traction. I mix 3000ct.and 5000ct to get almost a 4000ct. Anything over 5000ct will make the truck have to much Posi feel and push in turns. I would recommend starting with 3000ct and adjusting your slipper to give you the right balance of traction.
Also playing with the camber links will give you better steering either entering the turn or mid to exit steering which is good, depending how you set them up making them longer or shorter will also make the truck more stable.

If it seems like your having trouble with tight turns and the truck is pushing and making you go wide, here's another thing to check besides the servo saver.

I'm looking to get bit more side bite from my T4.1. I'm running the factory setup it came with and its pretty fast but I would like a bit more side bit if possible. Running holeshots or double dee's all the way around.
I've read two different things. Making the rear camber links LONGER will increase the side bite. Making the rear camber links SHORTER will increase the side bite. Which one is right?
Thanks

Making the Camber Link longer or higher will result in less Camber change during suspension travel, which will increase traction but decrease stability. A shorter Camber Link will result in more Camber change, or a decrease in traction but more stability."

Chassis, battery strap, body mounts front and rear, wheels and tires and a front bumper. depending on which kit you are converting(sc10rs) you might need rear axle spacer and you might need front axles assembles. I havnt seen a hex wheel for a stadium truck yet. I am planning on converting my sc10rs to a t4 soon.

[QUOTE=Hinecken;10122663]What differences did you feel going from the .5 to the 0?[/QUOTE
Truck became way more responsive and turned much better. With the stock setup and .5 hubs it had a slight push but was very stable. I run on low to med bite track and this was initially a good thing but as became a better driver I needed more and switching to the 0deg hubs worked wonders although my truck is somewhat twitchy.
I feel switching to 0deg hubs is pretty much mandatory unless you run on low traction tracks.

I think HPI had wheels way back that had hex setup too, but obviously not oriented for racing.
That would be cool if someone would make some like that.
Maybe down the road if stadium takes off.

The old academy GV2Ts used a hex setup for the rear and could use the AE wheels too. Since TQ Racing is using that platform for there new vehicles, maybe they will come out with wheels that use the hex.
