Yeah, turns out 6S LiPo is an aweful lot of power for this truck. I tightened up the slipper, put on the proline trenchers and upped the spring pre-load. After more than a few roof slides, I dialed the throttle down to 60% at which point, I had a lot of fun... though, I may need to dial down the initial punch and throttle curve a bit so it's not so overwhelming.
That being said, I've found a lot of things you see/read on the net from 'professionals' doesn't hold up well in practice.
- the stock suspension seems to provide better handling than any modification that makes it harder/more damped
- The slipper clutch is pretty robust -- just make sure it's snugged up enough
- if you're running 6s, you should really tune down the speed control
I've even figured out how to do bunny hops with the truck -- blip throttle for wheelie, blip brake to lift rear off the ground.
