    Man your doing awesome on this technical small dusty track with a 2wd slash I'm impressed how you put in some good laps, I think that you should experiment a little bit more with tires to make the car more maneuverable on that particular track, maybe even try changing the camber in the front to make it understeer a little more but it looks to me that you can make minor changes to get big results 😊🇩🇰👍

    From someone who has been a basher for 15 years now and just recently gotten into racing. I can tell you 3s in a 2wd class truck is no easy feat. I’ve personally never liked it due to its rear end kick out nature in such small throttle inputs.
