What have you guys done to stabalize the XL

[Gee]

Stopped at the LHS on my way home and walked out with a set of moabs 40's and some 23mm rims. They are around 6.5 inches tall but have a lot less sidewall to them. I'd tell you how much better they worked but never got the fricking savage out of the backward. Was one thing after the other, steering loosing a screw, tie rod popping off the ball joinst. Engine not tuning starting frustrating day. In the end I gently placed it on the shelf and took the strr out for a run.

The rear camber setup sure seem funky. With just the one rod connecting it. You press down and its got duck feet. Seems to have some play with it that way too. I got some beefy camber links on it now. Made some out of left overs from the strr. Kept having the rods pop of the balls on sunday. ANother frustrating day. I'm sure this is going to be one of my favorites once I get all the bugs worked out. I got a pet peeve about sloppy steering. Just bugs the heck out of me. Got a aluminum bellcrank setup at hte LHS today to help out. But something was going on with it when I finally gave up tonight.


Paid 250.00 for the roller finster. No electronics, motor, etc. Needed an engine mount and I bought the LPR .28 and a jp3 pipe for it. I put a HS-5955TG in for the steering and a Traxxas 2070 for the throttle. Both digital so I am trying out the 4pk on it for the first time. The LPR really did great right after breakin. But after that it's gotten tougher to tune and sometimes a real hard engine to start. Just my lack of tuning skills I'm sure.

I agree about the step pin in the rough stuff. They got some good clearance and bounce to them off the jumps. Fun tire but not on the blacktop!

I'll try to lower the ride hieght on it also. I bought a set of triple rate springs for it. My problem is I have been trying to tune everything at once. I think I should step back and take a break. Then just work on one area of it at a time.

Thanks for the input guys.
