I can't see on your pics but if the track is very dusty, I would try the Stud red on the back

I find it can be a little tricky at times.
Thanks for the tips on tyres but I don't think steering itself is my main issue at the moment, it's just the rear end can be unpredictable, I have plenty of steering and doesnt really feel like its too aggressive.
Yeah, it is quite dusty.
Got a couple of pics, I am pretty much the unofficial club photographer so unfortunately there isnt many of my own.
These are in someone else gallery so I cant imbed them...

Yeah, the track only gets a sweeping over once in the morning, then hosed down then gets the hose again before the finals, track is near dry again by the end of the first 10 min race.
There are discussions going on at the moment to do some work to it over the christmas break, a bit more clay/resurface/pack down a bit more, add permanent jumps and decide on a final layout, as it is right now, it isn't that great, as you can see it is very bumpy/rutty and breaks up very easily.
I didnt know about the rear outside hole was the same as inside on B4 and Losi's
I have tried the .03 shims under the tranny and didnt like it, will give it another go when I can.
I've been playing around with the anti squat aswell, I agree running less does seem to help for me.
I have a sway bar aswell, I was running the black B4 bar but I think it might still be a bit too thick, generally I prefered it but a couple of sections were much nicer without.
My next set of tyres won't be a soft compound, doesnt last long and I did notice after the last race meet that my tyres were considerably warmer.
I am thinking the X2000/X3000 and AKA Impacts might be worth a go.
Although one other bloke has tried Bow ties and said they were just horrible.
I forgot about that Kinwald mod, will get working on a couple of A-arms soon, that might make a big difference for me.
Changing the front hubs was the next thing I was going to do on last race day after we finished but the rain started hammering down.
I might grab one of them bodies, I need a new one.
Your X6 looks pretty sweet, impressive results too, congrats.
On our last race day most of the 2wd buggy fellas couldnt make it that day so we all piled into the 4wd mod buggy, I was just able to keep up with a couple of them (although to be fair, they werent running that hot a motor).
Thanks for the help mate, I appreciate it.
