...of mice and men!

Today was a 180 degree turnaround from yesterday.  The truck is dialed!

I got about 6 battery packs in on my 22T 3.0 and found the stock wing has a ridiculous amount of drag and downforce.  Trimming it down by 40% allowed my truck to jump about a foot further on the giant double, and it no longer chassis slaps on the face of the jump.  I think they made it too big, it's about 2" tall and is like a giant parachute on the back of the truck.

I also installed my trusty Avid Triad slipper with garodisc pads, and it works way better.  The garodisc pads are more consistent, smoother on/off, and don't glaze over like the stock pads.  The slipper also drops rotating weight on the drivetrain and gave me another foot on the jump.  I can now consistently make the big double, even down to 7.8v on the battery.

The last thing I tested was TLR low frequency springs front and rear.  I'm still playing with front springs, but the rear LF yellow springs are working well.  I got the front colors messed up and accidentally put on the softest (pink) front springs.  It gave ridiculous front end grip, but it's definitely too soft, lol.
