Yeah give them a shot since you already have them. Like I said, I ran them up front and they felt ok, actually had more steering, but for me that was too much steering and I like the high speed stability of the wider width so I went back with the Slash rears.

Also, using the same method for measuring wheel spacing from the back of the rim I used earlier I got 27.4mm on a stock Kyosho wheel, so it is very close to the Slash rear.

Hey guys im having trouble with my truck spinning out in the higher speed corners, loosing rear grip right at the entrance of the corner, at my track I have a higher speed corner going into a big double on a straight stretch and then going into a couple of sweepers. Watt can I do to fix this problem.

Set up is.

Front Springs are what came in the kit
Rear springs White
40WF 30WR
Running MIP Bypass Kit
Short Front Camber links
4 Hole front Shock Tower
Maximum Amount Of Rear Toe Allowed By the Adjustable Hangers.
33mm front ride height
29-30mm Rear ride height

We are required to run a specific tire.

Track is a tight-mid length track on dirt.

first thing I would do is play with the rear roll centers. Add 2mm under the rear inner ball studs. Or simply let off throttle. :P

Manual says 21 to 23 with stock spur. Guessing thats zero boost and timing too.

I would differntly get that new diggity design tower added to your list. If you run mod get the thicker red clutch pads if using the stock clutch. Box setup is really good and tune from there. Alot steering in this truck so maybe play with roll centers and such to suite.

If I buy lunsford 4.8 ball studs can I use the stock cups? And I'm assuming all the arms and suspension/steering/shock springs etc are same as the rb6 and rt6? Because there's nothing listed for sc6 hardly at all.

What's your rear camber? Also the white springs are the softest and may be causing excessive chassis roll.

The RB6 arms are way shorter than what is on the SC6.

I see that they are different now. What about front caster blocks and spindles? And the arm holders like this

The caster blocks, Spindles and all three aluminum rear suspension holders are the same in all three cars. You can compare the part numbers by looking at the exploded views in the back of the manuals. The only thing I think is different between the cars are the front and rear arms, shock towers, chassis and in some cases the body mounts.
