A thicker front sway bar will give you more on power steering. The long ackerman will also have more on power steering, but less turn in off power. I'm surprised you need more on power steering with this truck!

See the sheet below for the settings.

Measure from the center of the top screw to the center of the bottom screw on the shock. Trust me, you need every last millimeter of that 95 on the 1.0.

ok just did that is it supposed to be, feel like the shocks are stiffer though ?
the more you turn the screw down? i have a 1.0 buggy also and added droop and, it made it a lot smoother. i have tried it where, theres little droop never again lol.



its not real stiff. its still feels smooth.

Jammin I tried your setup yesterday and loved it. I think I did a couple things different but very very close to the one you posted. I didn't have a 2.0 swaybar (where do I get one at) on the v2 shock tower I used the new outter lower hole and B on the hub and then I switched to red springs in the front. The truck drives like it's on rails now. I am running this series where they have a different format. The first 4 races in the 8 race series place you into a division. There is no more expert and intermediate. So during these races all the truggys run togeather and buggys no matte who you are. That means one set of mains. The 1st race in the series I was in the c main fir the truggy and yesterday I made t to the b main. In 5th out of 12. The mains whet down to e. And all the pro guys in my area of course were in the a main. But I call that great improvement. Great setup jammin.

I'm glad to hear it worked out for you! Hearing it worked for someone else helps me feel like I'm not crazy. Sounds like you had a great run!

Thanks for the link and good setup. It just seems to work well for me. BTW what diff fluids are you using. I have been using smart diffs so long front and center diff oils are a little bit of a mystery to me.

Default 2 mm Hexs

I have been running aka with stock hexs and I can deal with a little rubbing. My problem is I want to run calibers and you have to use the proline rims. Should I let them rub or run the +2? What are the pros and cons? Do I run the +2 all the way around?
