I am on high bite clay indoors, running Electrons now which have a bit better grip than the Chainlinks I started with. It is mostly pushing starting the turn. Once the front bites and the car starts to rotate I can steer it with throttle, but need to slow too much to get the turn started. Was thinking of trying to change the front and rear diff oils but not sure which way to go as I have read opposing info; thicker front and thinner rear or thinner front and thicker rear too reduce push. I'm thinking the latter.

My buddy lowered his front and center diff and gained much better entry-mid corner steering. We also lowered the rear camber link on the tower all the way and try to run a short rear link, this will help the rear rotate mid corner and have more rear traction leaving the corner. I'll ask him and see if we changed the swaybars.

Hey All, just got the ET, super excited, planning to build this week. Small question, planning to buy Hobbywing SCT combo....I don't know the difference between 3660 and 3652 motor, believe it's size, right? One guy recommended 3652 motor because it's a tad smaller, but another guy recommended 3660 because it has more torque. Planning to run this indoor clay track, OCRC. For ESC, planning to get Hobbywing XR8 SCT Pro. Any advice on which motor to choose.

Thanks for the feedback, sounds like power isn’t that much of a concern with either motor.

- 20k front diff - much better corner entry but still understeers on power
- 1.5 front and 1.7 rear anti-roll bars - better mid through exit, too sensitive off power on entry
- Reduced toe out to ~ 1/16 inch difference front/back - reduced initial steering sensitivity
- Rear camber links down to 3 washers then down to 0 washers - better rear traction, very noticeable from 6->3, not much from 3->0
- Front pills A: top outer, B: bottom inner both single dot - improved jumps, especially landings, smoother overall response
- Green rear springs - better rear grip, jumping, and smoother on stepdowns

Highly recommend the Leadfinger Racing body to anyone that loves driving their truggy but can barely stand the sight of the stock body! Very happy with the looks now, and that in itself is worth a few tenths, right??

Servo issues
Anyone else stripping servo gears? I've never had any servo issues for the last three years (was running the Savox 1258TG in my B44.3 and B64D). I'm running the Protek 160T in the ET410 and the crashes I've had so far are no different than what I had with my wheelers. I'm guessing just the length of the arms and larger wheels are putting to much stress on the servo?? Any suggestions (other than don't hit anything)? Thanks for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated!

I went with a KO RSX3 Power. Figured it was overkill and that gives me a good feeling. Came out of my 1/8 nitro that I sold off anyway after only one big race.
You’re right, the longer arms and bigger wheels definitely help put more strain on the servo.
