Never heard of the zepp floor finish trick, I will have to look it it up.
I doubt I will add rear torsion or upgrade the front before I work over the head at least.
The steering is new from the box out. It does not get any tighter.
The pin weight is about 12~13% now. The bigger batteries up front will add a small bit to that. At least it is in the right direction
My truck is going to be OK on height with the stock axles and tires, but just barely. I will post some pics after I get it hooked. I'd like bigger tries but these are too new and in good shape to just pull.
60 is top end for me too. I spend more time in the hills and I will be using 5th, which will be a great gear with the 3.42 gears. 6th on the flats and shallow stuff.
