i got soo lucky with the wheels and tires cause i was soo unsure of everything so that worked out for me ...yes the 1" fuel line trick handeling was improved by 99% !!! iam going to try the sts .30 5 port i got some mugen alum clutch shoes today and some 1mm springs nitrodyne systems (engine dyno company) said the sts .28 is one of the top contenders in the hi-po motor world soo iam going to try it (the .30 5 port that is )and well see !

I've heard good things the sts motors too. that .30 should have some bark.

you know the wheels you have actually have even lower offset than the jammin truggy wheels. yours are the ofna mt wheels. ( I know because the truggy wheels only come in yellow or white)

yup. and you can adjust how much the diff slips with thicker or thinner diff oil.

I was wondering if you can put thicker diff lube in our GS rear to make it slip less.

That wouldn't be a case on open diff.
Thicker oil create more resistance not giving you any advantage other than what i mentioned (drivetrain loss of power)
BTW, pretty cool toy, me like it
