A mid car is always going to be a poor comprimise on dirt, slippy tracks or in wet conditions, especially running a 6.5t motor, must be quite a handful!

27.5wt will be far too soft on an astro track, the kit springs are a bit soft which is why i will try going up a rate all round (black front and pink rear)

You will find you have a lot of steering with the lipo forward, so will probably be best to move it back, would recommend using saddles to keep the weight further back too.

5deg castor blocks were the biggest improvement in calming the truck down on turn in.

the set-up i've posted was on a very hot day with high grip astro, track was tight and technical with a short straight (20m ish) and long but small air jumps, hence low ride height.

Keep us posted on anything you try, the quicker we learn the truck's secrets the better!
