No need for a new top shaft Vito, although the Team does come with the light weight top shafts ...

I seem to have had better success with the HB beams and stiffer inserts. Most guys run slicks for 2wd and 50/50 slicks/treaded for 4wd. Any thoughts.
If they are running HB beams with success, the Jconcepts green is the wrong compound - that's for outdoor. If it's dusty you can run blue, otherwise you will probably want gold.

PM user/moderator Casper and ask him what he runs for an insert at WCRC when he runs gold barcodes - it isn't the Jconcepts insert, and I don't recall what he uses.

At Dustin's it's bomb. At Brandon's...I'm not so happy with it. But I'm not quitting. I think the solution there is, well, see below:

Recouple the slipper. There is a time and a place for everything, and this is it. You have two options - either search this thread for "pin modification", drill the top shaft and modify the slipper back plate OR order these two parts:

http://www.teamassociated.com/parts/details/91188/

If it pushes too much, switch to either 5k or 7K in the front diff. And while you have the rear trans torn down, throw the idler gear away and put a new one in. The coupled slipper makes more grip, and puts a ton of load on the rear transmission - the idler gear is the weakest spot.

Kody's Spektrum set-up

I beat Losi's almost every race I run , fast Losi's too .

However, the Durango is faster if you ask me ...
So this setup was on conditions that mantisworx described. Will give it a look again then as I believe that is what I started with, though, I doubt I will go down much on the ballstud shims.

Kody's set up is a good starting point for indoor racing. I tuned from that set-up to get mine.

I am somewhat of a newbie so take this with a grain of salt.

For starters if you install the optional steering arm you will probably want to also order 6mm ball studs. The 8mm ball studs that you are probably running currently may stick out the top of the arm and rub on the chassis.

The two positions on the optional steering arm will change the ackermann. You can read about ackermann if you Google it. In a nutshell, if you connect your turnbuckles to the rear most setting you will have less steering and if you connect to the front you will have more steering. This truck already has a lot of steering. I have not tested the optional steering arm, just installed it last night, but I am guessing the rear most setting will be preferred by most. I also believe that's how the FT manual shows it as their "default" configuration. It will ultimately be personal preference and based on the track layout you are running.

Now the experts on this thread can correct me if I provided any mis-information.

I thought if you weren't stupid, the standard AE slipper is absolutely fine? Why are you wasting money? Only us retards who can't tune a slipper should be buying that "monkey proof" upgrade kit, WC. Save it for us.

It is not totally the conditions described. But it is the "best start" all around. I'm too into my setup and getting faster and faster each visit to the track, I don't want to touch mine just yet.
