Default RE: Suggestions Needed with Matrix Arena

If your problem is that steering seems sluggish or something, make sure that the servo saver is not too loose. If it is tight, then maybe a stronger servo would be needed. Truggies need powerful servos in order to perform at their best. My suggestion if you want a good set up would be to copy a set up from a CEN driver, and go from there. If you purchased your truggy recently, the diffs should be cross pins. I think that CEN, like all other companies, puts grease in the diffs. My suggestion for diffs is 7k front, 15k or higher center, and 3k rear. This is the general set up for truggies, and with finer tuning, you should be able to achieve better handling. Also, taking out the sway bar in the front increases steering, and making the car shorter by switching the sides of the spacer in the back increases turning as well. I run 40wt shock oil in the front, and 30wt in the rear..this is a bit soft, but I don't complain. Most may run a thicker oil in the front.
