I was having this same issue.
5,7,3 is a good start. I personally brough down the front suspension out to the outter hole on the A-arms, the rear to the inner, lowered the front down one hole and the rear down 2.
My camber is at -1.5 degrees and I decided to toe in 1 degree.
Also, tires tires tires. Can't stress that enough. My set up isn't completely dialed in yet, but I felt I had some more bite with this.

If you are pushing on throttle I wouldnt recommend 7 in the center diff. It will probably make it worse. I would stay with 5-5-5 and worn on tuning the suspension instead.
I would try a stiffer sway bar in the rear or lowering where the rear camber link is on the rear shock tower or try less anti-squat.

ok, that's for a 1900kv teking. What about the 2050kv teking ? what would be the pinion size 46/????

I am currently running a 2250 tekin motor on 3S batteries. I will be switching over to 4S batteries shortly and I assume I am going to have to drop down a few teeth for each track once I do.
Pinions are pretty cheap and every track is different. Just keep a close eye on your motor temps, run times, and how it seems to work out to your liking on the track and adjust accordingly.

I would say the best thing to do would be to pick up a couple different sizes. I carry with me 15-19 tooth pinions. One track I go to the 17 works best while another track likes the 19 and honestly i could probably go up to a 20 or 21 to be most ideal.

I have yet to bend any of the hing pins or the lower arms. The caster blocks seem to wear pretty quick leading to some slop in the suspension but it doesn't seem to negatively impact the way the car handles just yet so I have not replaced them.
Keep in mind I go to the track 3-4 times a week and normally run 6-10 packs each day.
I have had to replace the front shock tower due to me landing on my lid and bending it to a point where I could only mount the shocks in one of the mounting holes, and i also broke both the front and rear chassis stiffeners.
All the other parts I have replaced were due to my own mistakes while assembling the car.

I'm installing mine this weekend... Just waiting on all new bearings and plastics as wel as SNR towers and such so I can completely freshen the car up.
I'll post pics Saturday evening or Sunday.

I have had my buggy for about a month in a half and I have only broke one upper front arm. It wasn't even fully broke either, just the front part that connects to the hing pin tore and was still working as I finished the race with it that way.

Also, I just noticed looking on RC10.com, the parts list for the RC8Be buggy shows a 29mm front shock body and a 38mm rear shock body. I thought the RC8B and RC8T shocks were the same. I bought the same ones and have been running it like this. Does the 32mm (truggy) make a difference between the 29mm (buggy). So strange I never noticed this before. I even liked the idea that I could switch them around if needed cause I have 2 truggies and 1 buggy.
EDIT: I guess I cannot use the HD shock shafts on the truggy then.

You can also get away with gearing 46/20 all the time and just limit your throttle.
