The more I tinker with details large and small on my trucks, the more I wonder about the divergent needs of (whatever we call) trails/jumps/dirt/airtime and (whatever we call) tighter, flippity, combo-focused skatepark type bashing.
For example - I'm finding that the following seem to lead to better performance in tighter, more technical situations:
- 4s and a big pinion
- backflip tires (ballooning is better)
- equal F/R diff weights. Ex: 30/200/30.
- no wing, no wheelie bar
- drag brake around 30%
- brake strength at 75% or so for air control
- orange/yellow st 60/40 f/r works for the concrete park
- max steering endpoints for tossing weight around
- tight and stiff sway bars
- front springs loaded for popping off coping at the top of ramps
What are you guys finding?
