Finally made it though a racing day without tearing anything up and actually completing three TQ's and the A-Main (don't get excited, there were only four us in the MT class and I got lapped like a $5.00 whore!). I was just pumped I actually MADE it, so the day was a smashing success in my opinion! Jet, you'd of been proud, man! No fluke breaks, so nailing the marshalling pylons...all good!
Anyhow, the one thing I struggled with all day was the incredible amount of front end push my Revo has. It was to the point of having to break in the corners to bring the front end around. Simply getting off the throttle wasn't enough, I had to break. It was as if the front end was on ice! The other Revos experienced push as well, but not quite to the degree I was (at least that's how I perceived it).
Anyhow, would like to get some ideas on how to dial that push out. Here's what I'm running in it right now, but I'll have it broken down this week for a good cleaning, so let me know:
Proline Maxx sized Bowties (also have Maxx sized Crimefighters and 40-series Bowties). Ran the Maxx BT's.
OS .18TM with Trinity pipe.
Standard gear-ratio 2-speed with FOC.
RPM arms with Integy axle carriers.
P2 rockers and pushrods.
30K weight diff fluid in front, 35K weight diff fluid in back
Performed single-servo steering mod and Slaydon steering mod
First generation 2.5 chassis.
Shock oil is 30K front, 45K rear (I think, but I'm tearing them down and cleaning anyway, so suggest away)
If I'm forgetting any pertinent information, let me know.
Thanks in advance for the assist!
