Please use this thread to list tuning modifications you made to your Vesla and how it helped with handling.

Vesla gas with ESP34 weighing in at 39.5
Stock tires have no traction so I put DDM Giant Grips on.

I believe the stock shocks are way too soft. I put 40wt oil in, but i need to experiment more. The HD springs are way too stiff and will turn your rig into a pogo stick.

Diff fluid: The stock diff fluid seems to be too thin. I am going to try 1,000,000 it.

Right now I have a hard time driving in a straight line under acceleration. It veers unpredictable to the left or right and it jumps eneven.

I put 35wt in the rear shocks and 30wt in the front. It seems to be okay here, but does drive squirrely which I don’t mind. I might crank some more preload into the shocks, but we will see what happens as I get bigger air.

I also put giant grip tires on the Vesla which are pretty good. I recently acquired some akill spikes that I’ll be trying very very soon
 
I run my Vesla Gas, Zenoha G320, 99% on open grass fields.
35WT oil in rear shocks with HD springs.
40WT oil in front shocks.
1 Million in Diff.
handles great and can take small jumps without slapping the ground now.
I plan on putting the sway-bars on the front and rear too next summer.
