I have seen posts where people say their Mini-Sprints are EXTREMELY loose. This is probably NOT in your suspension setup, but instead in your RR dogbone binding. The stock dogbones will bind if the suspension travels too far. Take the RR and compress it to a bottom out scenario. Now rotate the RR wheel. You will see it bind and actually push the wheel back down. Now if you are running the smaller tire this will not be a problem as the chassis will bottom out before the dogbone binds. However, if you run the larger tire for stagger as what I do, it will bind up before the chassis bottoms out. When it does that all types of bad things happen. Solution is the MIP CVD Set (Losi Part # LOSB1248). Hope this helps! If ya have any questions let me know.

I take it Losi is not doing any thing to correct this problem? I just got a mini sprint for my son. The dog bone binds both sides when suspension is compressed.

I am not aware of any action being taken but the MIP CVD kit will correct this on both sides. However the left side is not as much of an issue as the right for the fact that the left side will not compress to that extent on a dirt oval.
