Someone should make a video on YouTube about how to build these shocks with less friction and no oil leakage.

I would suggest blue springs in the rear, maybe try 27.5 or 25wt. If that still doesn't help try the 1.3 piston in the rear.

Try shortening the wheelbase that puts more weight over the rear wheels , and also mount the rear shock on the outer hole on the rear arm. This will square the truck up faster after the corner.

Thank you for the suggestions! I'm gonna try that all out asap! What would you try first the springs or shock oil change? or both at the same time? Thanks again!

Default Both

I would try both at the same time. I really like the 27.5 in the rear with blue springs if I need more rear bit. The softer spring works better with the lighter oil.

I tried the middle whole and started to traction roll again....didn't like it so went back.... as for the wheelbase adjustment I'm actually unsure on how to do that. Getting into the manual now to try and find out. Thank you for the help!!!

On the arm, not the tower. As for the wheelbase, move the spacers by the rear hub carriers an/ or the front spindles.

Default Short Wheelbase

I agree the truck has better forward bit with the rear hubs forward.

Hey everyone, been searching on this thread for a few days now and haven't found an answer to an issue I've been having, I don't know a lot about tuning, etc so I figured I'd ask on here and maybe get an answer or some suggestions on what to try... the track is just a small backyard dirt track, mostly dry and loose/dusty, the issue I'm having is the rear of the truck constantly wants to spinout, it doesn't matter if it's on a corner, straight away or start, the rear just wants to come around.

My SC10 4x4 has 5000wt diff oil f/r, high torque slipper pad, slipper tightened, 30wt front, 25wt rear, rest basically stock.. running an rx8 w/ a sc4x 5.5, gearing is 15/62, temps only about 110-120, running snipers all around and tried calibers all around, along with mixing/matching them etc..

So far I've tried swaybars, different springs, overdrive front gear, etc.. I know I can go up on pinion but going faster just makes this worse so I was hoping to fix the issue before trying to go faster, and I am hoping to try a thicker diff oil in the front next week but 5k is the highest I have on hand.

Soo yeah.. if anyone has any ideas, suggestions or anything about why the rear wants to come around it'd be greatly appreciated.
