Hey Pope, here's my .02, sorry I didn't post before. It looks like you have a nice start to what could be a fast truck.
You want about 30,000 in the front and about 10,000 in the rear. Think of it like a front wheel drive car, when your driving in a curve you don't want your inside front wheel unloading, you want it to pull through the corner. So the heavyer weight needs to go in front. What weight oil do you have in the shocks? Is your truck too stiff, common mistake. At rest your front should be level and the rear just above level. Don't cofuse ride height with dampening. Springs and oil work together but the springs control ride height and the oil controls dampening. Too heavy springs and not heavy enough oil will make a sloppy bouncy truck. It takes time to work out what will work for you, I like 35 wgt with black springs with one shock per wheel (not big bores) and I like my shocks inverted, it puts the weight of the shock body and oil lower next to the wheel. Yes steering bearings. The radio is your choice but anything is better than the stock. And all the set up in the world won't make up for practice and stick time, I'm living proof.

See ya at the track, Joey



Boo Revo, my Savages can hang with any Revo.

The set up I have is listed one page back. It is set up pretty good it is nearly the Same as Sam's really. It is just my driving that needs work now as the truck is better than I am.

Looks real good there pope! You done with it or you gonna keep adding mods?

 

[Fx]

What's up with the holes in the tread and in the sidewalls? I assume it's for drainage but did you or Bank do that?

 

[Pope]

Not I paul. And no the mods will never stop. Got a list a mile long of stuff to do this winter

 

[Pope]

Okay just took the truck out for the first time and wow. It is a total diffrent truck I can't believe how well it handles.

 

[Savagesam]

savage sam is using 50k front diff and 30k rear diff on loose track surface to pull the truck through the corners and 30k and 10k on a blue groove firm surface pope lol

 

[Savagesam]

i also punch holes in all mu tyres just two holes for drainage and i tape the rim holes up so as no water gets in that way, but never seen side walls punched before, some thing new when i thought i had seen it all mmmmmm lol
