Hey, Vipers! Today I went up to the track and ran on it completely dry on purpose.
After last weeks complete debacle at the race, I made some significant changes to the set up of my truck, and it’s basically glued to the track as long as I don’t pull the throttle all the way back too fast.
I increased the kick up angle of the front suspension.
I installed the laid-back transmission and moved my battery back a little bit toward the waterfall.
I’m running a 20 tooth pinion with the stock spur, which I think is 81 teeth. It still has a ton of speed but now they get-up-and-go is super peppy.
And lastly, I reduced the weight of the shock oil in the rear shocks from 30 to 27.5 and put on some green springs. The green springs, and the lighter shock oil was one of Lito Henry’s recommendations. Thanks, Lito Henry!
