So here it is. I run the same track every week (high bite clay). My set up is dialed (or was). Here is the issue. When the track is freshly watered the car is dialed.
The problem is if my heat is later and the track starts drying out the rear end is super loose. Not just a little loose but a whole different car.
Is there something minor that can get changed based on the track conditions that can quickly go back and forth between?
Hopefully this makes sense.

What gearing are some of you guys running with a 7.5? I have the stock spur and a 21 pinion, I started with a 22 but temps soared quickly. Outdoor track and temps are 90+ even in the evenings. I added a fan to the motor to try to help but if I run it hard for 5 minutes or more temps get really high.

Any thoughts on the tire to try?

I was just watching the IFMAR 4wd post-race conference and Cavalieri mentioned going to a "little bit stiffer spring in the front". Looking at pics and video throughout the event, the fronts have always been silver which I assumed were the 3.85/#6496's (i.e. part of the standard setup). Unless today's fronts were stripped blues 4.20/#6497, they don't appear to be cut truck fronts or rears, this would mean there is a new spring in existence.
Anyone have knowledge about a new spring and/or was this a custom part? Thanks in advance.

I looked into this, and Kyosho doesn't even make a spring that is the same rate as the AE silver or anything really close, so not sure what he used.

ALL their springs are silver. They are all different but they are all silver. Unlike the ones we use that are different colors to tell them apart.
I have no idea what he was using, I am just saying they do not use colored springs. All their different spring rates are all silver.

You mis-understood what I said or meant.
