Right now, I'm just trying to soften the car up slowly. It just feels like it's on top of the track. Now a lot of it could be tires. I'm running green compound Jconcepts Octangons, but the tire of choice there seems to be m4 Proline Primes. I don't have the extra money to spend on tires right now, so I play with what I have a lot of........ oil, pistons and springs. :wink:

Another thing i haven't messed with yet is battery position. Running shorty lipos so there is plenty of room for adjustments.

Jason I have a like-new pair of JConcepts Hybrids I could send you (pn 3052). They came with a recent ebay purchase and absolutely do not grip my loose dirt track. Not sure what surface these were designed for (I'm still trying to learn these modern tires). Anyway, you're welcome to them if they will help. They're mounted on white B2 wheels.

Another little update.

Got a set of M4 Proline Primes for this. Seems to be what everyone runs at the track we go to. The car is still working pretty well, I'm fairly happy with it. Current shock setup:

Front - 32.5 oil / #1 pistons / green springs
Rear - 32.5 oil / #2 pistons / silver springs
