Ok, what kind of spinning out. When you are braking, or on the throttle?
What is the surface like?
What is your motor, and gearing?

Ok, i gotcha. I love the maxx. I had alot of fun racing mine indoors. Run your front suspension a little stiffer than the rear. About 5-10wt heavier on the oil in front. No spring changes. Add a little camber to the rear, and some toe-in. No sway bar kit. You dont need it. Make sure your truck is nice and low too. Set the ride height so the front suspension arms are level, and the rear is slightly sagging. That should actually be achieved by doing the oil setup i mentioned earlier. Let us know how that works out for ya. Oh, and throw some Proline Bowties on there too.
