i saw you guys talking about the short ackerman bar giving you more sterring? Is this going in or coming out of the corner? There is always a trade off right?

Straight from the losi manual...
"A long ackerman plate will have smooth off-power steering and is more forgiving. The long ackerman plate will have more steering on-power. A short ackerman plate responds quicker and has more steering in the middle of the turn. A short ackerman plate is better suited to tight technical tracks."

I think that just about sums it up. The 2 plates do feel very different. I prefer the short plate personally. Just give them both a shot. It is 2 screws to swap them.

Give it a try and let me know what you think. Like I said, it works for me, it may work for you, or it may not.

I am actually pretty happy with my setup since I installed those inclined spindles and carriers and went to the short ackerman plate. Why I am going to change it who the hell knows but I am willing to try for that little bit more.

Might as well give it a shot. If it doesn't work out you can always go back to your standard setup.

You're in for a pleasant surprise in that case! The V2 tower makes a big difference.

You may want to run the bump steer up with the inclined spindles. That seems to be what everyone is doing, with the buggy at least. I haven't gotten the spindles yet, but they're on the way. Should make a dialed truck even better!

2.0 bar is included in this kit.

As for the spindles, read back a couple pages. They basically make the car more controlled when cornering. They are supposed to be better when steering in the bumps too.

Never seen a smart diff used in the rear before! Do you mean front and center? Either way, I can't really be of much help as I don't run the smart diffs. I have run the center before, but didn't like it too much.
