wild cat the harder springs in the rear help becouse the rear is rolling to much soft and hard dont mean shit if the ballints is off i have blue f spring on the rear of myn i let one of the buggy guys dive it at the track 2 days ago and he siad it drove like his buggy
I thought my truck felt better with blue fronts in the rear. But everyone at the track told me I needed to roll more in the corners and to take them off, so I did, but i dont think it was better, maybe worse.
That's because this truck naturally feels like you driving a 2wd. It's the only 4x4 that feels like it. it's not your spring combo

Against the recommendation of many I gave the aluminum differential a try. The main reason was to reduce the number/frequency of differential rebuilds. Specifically, to reduce the leaking. I ran about 6 packs through the first time and the screws started to back out of the diff. I didn't get enough thread lock on them. I rebuilt it and applied more thread lock. I ran about another 8 packs through and the diff started to get notchy even though the screws were not coming loose. I don't remember how much I shimmed it, but I'll look. I did shim it more than the stock .02mm.
After running the 8 packs through it barely leaked so that was promising, but the fact it started to become notchy wasn't so promising. I’m headed to the track tonight and didn’t want to risk an issue with it so I put a regular differential back in. I may try the aluminum again.
