Also nobody has helped with the setup advice. Maybe this rc world doesn’t like to share setup info.

I am not real familiar with the platform. I'd share if I could.

Learning and watching has been pretty entertaining!

Without knowing any of your particulars of racing monster trucks in grass, it's going to be very difficult to say what's a great setup. If I think I know what RC platforms are being used, tuning will mainly consist of shock oil/diff fluid/tires. Grass can mean many things. Jumps involved? Tight turns? Depending on the height of the grass and other obstacles, I'd be putting a plush soft shock lower ride height package on the monster truck. The one that keeps their RC from traction rolling the least may have the advantage. With typical huge grippy monster truck tires; running on higher traction surfaces, your trigger finger is going to be tested as you navigate a higher COG platform through turns at higher speeds. Constantly trying to put power down? Keep that center diff fluid (is there a center diff?) on the higher end of things.
Good luck.

Advice much needed shock fluid is 50wt
And centre diff running 100k

Also Brian had a breakdown yesterday and the backup car which is a stock tk10 v3 ran laps around Brian with the need to keep walking and turning the car back over all those cartwheels.
