i started using the clicker. it makes the car a bit squirrelly, but omg the jumps are so much cleaner. the car feels faster and i dont need to add as much throttle.

another note, who here has bent their front cva shafts?

i have bent 3 so far. anyone know of aftermarkets or stronger ones?

I bent one, as well as a front arm (at a different time). I was able to message the cv straight again though. Not sure what I did when it bent

one of the tracks i go to has the far jump right next to the wall. hit it at the wrong angle... well, yall know what happens. the other was from nose diving and bad landings on one wheel. i have put this truck into more than it's fair share of bashing and beatings. no belt problems here yet, but many bent front cvas. why not the rear?

how are yall bending them back to shape?

are the FT ones just shiny or are they better in some way?

FT is just shiny. i use a vice if any cvas bend. my buddies bent today but because his shock piston came off. i straightened it in the vice.

The pin in my CVA fell out, the one that goes into the outdrive. Fooking made me DNF in a race last week.

If your bending front cva's, check to see if the dogbone is catching on the diff outdrive when the a-arm is fully compressed. I had to add 1 thick and 1 thin limmiter clip to keep the front bones from binding.

I know there's probably an answer 75 pages back, but what's a good set up for this truck on a Medium Size track, with medium to high bite?

10k front 5k rear. Blue sway bars front and rear. 37.5 and 30I in the shocks with 1.2 pistons and 1 limiter in the fronts. Move the shocks on the arm mounts all to the inside. 1.5 camber all four corners. Add a 4mm spacer under the ball studs on the front shock tower and move them to the inside. Make your wheelbase short and run the clicker fully tight. Hope this helps man. Note that I ran aka gridirons on all 4 corners.

I have been running the DE wheels and really like them they seem very firm and strong, but they are light as well. The fit is perfect as well.

Default Springs???

Has anyone found springs that work on these shocks. I need a stiffer front spring but cannot find one anywhere and the AE ones are still not in stock...

Thanks
