It's the 5mm offset which is what the manual said to use. And the shock pivot is screwed the entire way on

I'm i don't know if this is a huge issue or not? I'm new to offroad and only use the short throw onroad shocks so bare with me please guys lol

Put a different cup on and see if it still does it

I usually run a single color paint scheme but I get spoiled every once and a while:

I love how my VTS has been running with the B44 spring and JConcepts spur.

Are you running mod or stock?

VTS is better for mod. (in my opinion)

Mod for the most part, Stock if there is enough interest locally

The VTS in my 4.2 kit is as loose as I can make it and its still to tight, do I need a different spring?

Did you compress the spring with pliers and make sure everything is seated correct in the slipper assembly?

Wondering if any of you guys know how this car is fairing overseas on the carpet/astroturf? I had my 1st outing with my b4.2 lastnight...I qualified good but the car was a handful on our super high grip carpet. I ended up breaking a shock tower in the main. I did not feel connected with it at all and it was a bit pitchy on some of the jumps (ass high). I got a fair setup in it...but I am not satisfied with it overall so far on the rug.
I got the chance to drive a mid 22 and it was just super dialed. I was told the Durango was pretty good on carpet too.
Just don't want to spend week after week setting up the car if the mid motor option is that much better on this surface....Also the car only has one race night on it so a trade/sale would be quicker while it's still "new". Understandably posting on this thread may be a bit biased...but any input would help.
Thanks.

Are you using the Jconcepts Silent Speed spur gears?
