Are the black pistons track-related (harsh landings)? Or is it you new standard setup?
Also, why the AE rod ends? More droop?
How do you mount rear arms? Swept back or forward?

Black pistons indeed for landings, but they also make the car very stable while turning. Since the astro was new and very grippy, this helped a lot to stabilize the car.
AE rod ends indeed give more droop.
What do you mean with rear arms? Wheelbase was set to long.
Personally I also made a mod to the front hubs. I dremel off some material so I can mount them more forward. So in fact I have a wheelbase adjustment in the front. Making the wheelbase longer in the front results in less wheelie effect, keeps the front flatter, adds stability. In fact you are making wheelbase longer, and at the same time you get more weight % on the rear wheels. Like it a lot :-D
Losi is short compared to B4, and very short compared to X6, so a little more length doesn't hurt.
