you can't get traction on gravel no matter what.
what kinda dirt are you on? hard packed, loamy, soft, blue groove...

Well with the amount of power your engine has it sounds like you just need to control your throttle better, but it might be you spur gear i would play with the adjustment on it.

Go 2 degrees negative camber all the way around first of all.. for handeling.

Then go with gladiators in the rear, and either edge's or another set of gladiators in the front (yeah it sounds weird on a 2wd truck but i saw people at the track doing it with excellent results). Every track is different.. you might find step pins to work better, or another tire, but in my experience gladiators work well.


If your just purely bashing, i recommend getting Masher 2000's all the way around. That'l give you some grip in gravel too... well more than you had before.
