These would be suitable 8 hole pistons correct?

Tower Hobbies has come through big. $40 discount + free shipping that shipped today and is scheduled for arrival tomorrow :-) It will be a nice vacation indeed. Electronics come in the next day too. Gotta paint the Flotek now.

Actually your setup is on right now with the only change being 45/42.5 oils to compensate for the 100+ degree temps. I've also had the bumper on until now but haven't got to try it bumperless. I'm going out tonight to test that.
It only has had this issue on a few very extreme jumps at our outdoor track here, and another I recently traveled to. Other SCTs were struggling with the big jumps at the race I metioned I traveled to, but the air time was enough to get the nose back up with wheel speed.
My track is loose and VERY large so my temps have been right at 130-140 range. Of course I don't know if I even made it to 10 mins yet as I have just been testing with the truck. If your on a med to high bite track I can see gearing that low but on my track that would mean to many rpm over the course of a lap.

Finally got this thing out onto the track. My impressions...Freaking dialed in when compared to my SC10 4x4 that I worked extensively on trying to get it to be the truck it was supposed to be.
It was on the indoor clay track at norcal, the new layout is by far the best layout yet! Super fun. Setup is box stock with a few changes, green front pink rear with tekno 1.3x8 pistons. Could it be better? Probably but it was good enough that I didnt mess with it because I was having too much fun (never had that problem with the SC10 4x4).

Testing last night did not go well, bumper makes no difference but I had to try it.
Should I try orange fronts with reds in the rear? A couple experienced racers felt the suspension last night and both said it's to soft.
Current setup is a direct copy of Matt's setup with 45 losi oil up front and 42.5 losi rear with 8x1.3 k pistons.

JConcepts race at the Hobbyplex. Had issues with the short tabletop and the monster jump in the middle.

WOW, Orange fronts are pretty stiff (4.9) I haven't seen anyone use higher then 4.2 spring rates for the front.
So far I've only ran two setups on mine and both felt great. I first ran box stock with Kyo Orange (4.0) Front and Kyo Yellow rears (2.9) and never had any issues with it, felt planted, I ran it that way for about 4-6wks
I'm currently running the "rcgod" setup and it feels just a tad better and at the 3-4 different tracks I race at, it's been pretty well planted and handled a wide variety of traction and jumps. That setups uses HB Grey (4.1) Fronts and Losi Green (3.1) Rears springs with Losi 32.5wt Front and 30wt Rear

If they feel softer then they should are they used springs... like ran on other vehicles or new springs. There's a couple guys at our track that will take new springs and actually compress them overnight to break them in and run them that way and adjust oil wt accordingly.
If you or a friend already have the springs I would say try them out before buying to see if they help.
Otherwise the next setup I would suggest looking at is the Sramos one. I'm pretty close to his setup minus the Fironni pistons and rear springs he's using.

Stupid questions here. First time building a kit.
1st.
What is best way to setup pinion gear to center diff? Should it be tight as can be or loose.
2nd.
What are good settings to try out on my HW SCT pro for my first run on a track? Have a SMC 70c 7200 pack.
Thanks for all provided tips so far

As for the HW I run mine with the default settings and only turn down the lipo cutoff to the lowest point possible.
