mf1 oval truck

[DC Racing]

I have a mfl truck that i have done the following to: Put 50 wt in rear, 40 wt up front, quarter inch shock limiters all around, Stiff blue trinity spring on all four then changed to red losi spring which is a lil less than the blue in the right rear. My truck was good but when i get on the throttle about halfway through the corner it, the rear end wants to swing a lil but then catches. I want to be faster through the corners and this is hurting me. Do you think i should switch the red to the left rear and the blue to the right and maybe that will stiffen up the right more so i can go through the corner quicker? thanks

ps oh i almost forgot this is for mod, im going to be running stock the nats coming up with it, would these changes for mod help it for sock or hurt.

What I did was, I used the towers and the shocks off a BK2 will lower it and still give you enough travel. I ran 30 weight all around with pink springs in the rear and blacks in the front.
Never had to many handling issues. As a matter of fact it was a lil loose but not bad. Hooked better with foams. There are pics of my losi around here some place.

DC, Listen to mcastor11, he told me to do the samething to my boys truck last fall when we first got into this and it worked great. He was running in the top 3 every week against some real veteren drivers and he was just a 12yr. old rookie. Thanks mcastor11!!

dc... if you stiffen the right rear on a loose off condition you will end up "looser". you could try going a little softer on both rear springs and/or lighter oil in the rear shocks

Wonder who told castor about doing that to his truck... :)

Here is link to an old pic of one my trucks setup that way.
