the truck is so much easier/faster to drive with the exotek though, so it doesn't matter how much i could flip it around in the air before. useless when it was way too reactive with not enough traction everywhere else on the track.

Agreed.

My truck felt a bit nose heavy in the air but I think that is due to the amount of drag brake I have dialed in. I dropped it from 10% to 5% and it was nice and balanced (granted we have a short course...100x40 and no huge gaps etc).

Is it a constant click or just when under acceleration?

It is most likely your rear diff or the rear idler gear. Take the rear tranny apart and check the diff and idler.

I would say start by checking your rear diff out. Also, do you run your belt tunnel with all the pieces?

We are very spoiled to have such a great facility. Even though its a 30-45min drive for me, i will drive there for a set of tires or whatever, just to support the hobby shop. Its a blessing.

Even if you are faster everywhere else, if somebody following you can go triple and you can only go single double, your odds go way up of getting wrecked in a bad spot.

ICRC, you posted you added weight to the front of the truck in an attempt to help it. Out of curiosity, where exactly did you mount it, and how much did you try?
