I think you shouldnt have such different weights... maybe 50 - 60? or 50-50¿

when you say all over the place you mean bouncy? if so, your springs are to heavy and your oils to light. try using a lighter spring rate and a thicker oil, maybe 35 or 45.


on another note, 50/60 seems kinda heavy oil for stadium trucks.

and i need adjust the gear when i in the straigh in the track it hits second at the end of the straight and always go off the track. is clockwise shorten the gears or the other way??

A Slayer is notorious for flipping, pretty much all they do when turning at speed. As far as the transmission shifting sooner or later check the sticker on the transmission it tells you which direction to shift sooner. If the sticker is gone check the manual it will say in there. I cant remeber since I got rid of mine a few months back.
