When I go around a corner with my truck the inside wheel comes off of the track and I lose speed . Is that normal or fixable ?

Are you using the tweak screws on the front of the t-plate? They should both be touching the plate but be careful not to over tighten them. Then you can adjust the torsional flex of the t-plate by turning the rear screw on the t-plate in or out. Lastly, gob a bunch of really sticky grease on the damper plates.

I got a spec truck for christmas from Santa (Jim).
My understanding is any 6 cell or 2s lipo, handout motor, any brushed speedo.
Are you guys using a roll out # or just specific gear ratios. Mine has a 120 spur.
Also are these tires the same as WGT spec tires? (lilacs)
Thanks, Mike

Is that a 48pitch pinion? I lined up a 21T 48Pitch and it didn't seam to mesh well with the Spur. Also the front tires on these things are they Bushings only? or upgrade to bearings? Trying to get it setup for Dec 15 Race and so far going well.

I see this thread is a few years old. Is it still any 2s Lipo kosher?
