My sct410 kit came with pink front, and yellow rear. that's one stiffer for front and two stiff for the rear. Is this a recent change they made to address the nose down issue in jumps and/or the stock setup not being stiff enough?

I actually ordered green for front, and orange for rear, which should arrive tomorrow, so it's nice to know stock setup might actually be ok, and if I want it one notch stiffer front and back, I'll have them on hand. Works out in the end!

Let me know which springs yours came with, I'm curious!

I mean, plenty of run time for racing, but I want to get real run time for practice, similar to running my ebuggy. I figure if I run 3s and gear down, I can get tons of run time for practice. On my 7000mah 2s packs, I'm getting about 10 min which is way more than enough for racing, but for practice, let's face it, it's just not enough time on the stand and I end up running my 2wd more often just because you can stay out for so long. So I'd like to hear what other people are doing if they're running 3s. Again, power isn't my concern, I'll gear down so I'm no faster than anyone else on 2s, I'm strictly looking for a way to get more run time.

It was like 20 deg when we took this video. for being as cold as it was I think the truck
was doing well.

And to have the pictures right there so U could see exactly what it was referring to really works well in helping to understand what everything does as far as tuning your car. This guide should be required reading for all rc owners racing or bashing...or if u just want to learn how IFS/IRS work and tune. I recommend reading it if u havent already.

That way your ready for full-on ebuggy if you ever wanted to do the conversion. It would just be a lot of torque to handle.

Also, the 3s battery has been very popular for awhile and we would all be running it if racing rules made 3s the standard for our tanks we call trucks.
