running a thicker sway bar in the rear end will increase on power steering
if your not using smart diffs , running a thicker front diff oil also increases on power steering
running more droop on the front will increase on power steering to
run less toe in in the back may help to
are you running toe out at all ?

hope that helps alittle

Sorry bro I agree - easy on the gas - I run drakes standard set up with full rebound and and 10k in the center diff and the thing is dialed. No problem with turns - you cant power thru every turn - the 2.0 is the best handling truggy out there IMO nothings turns better or handle better that this.

This Kid races at my local track and has the best help anyone could have Casey Peck and Billy Fischer from TEAM LOSI there is nothing wrong with his Truggy He just doesnt know how to LET OFF THE GAS he hit everything but the Water Tank this last weekend. Stop wasting everyones time and listen to the PROS at your local track they know more than anybody you ask on this site!!!!!!!! They race there the guys on this site dont. JUST LISTEN

last weekend i was driving like crap, i totally agree, but i was sicker then a dog, usually i dont drive like that. Do me a favor vareck, Just dont give me any more help ok, you just seem to wanna put me down everytime so go ahead and keep it to your self, i appreciate it but would rather not have it


My 8t 2.0 has pushed from day one, i can deal with it if needed but i know i dont have to, as far as askin peck or fisher for help, i havent yet for set up, but i think if after i try a few thing i may but like i said, its so little push that i think i can fix it

i can make small corners fine because im off power, but we have like 2 small sweepers as you know, one at the back straight and one at the loop line, and i see many people power all the way thru that and i cant, i have to tap the throttle
