Ok, I can drive the trucks on rookie mode without a problem. When I try on Pro, I slide around a lot and lose control. Any tips on how to keep the truck under contorl? Like change null zone or steering sensitivity?

Like change null zone or >steering sensitivity? Anticipate the corners, turn early to start your truck sliding and then quickly ease up on the wheel. DON'T keep the gas constantly pressed, you need to ease up when turning or your wheels will spin and you'll lose control. Take a couple laps real slow and pretend you're driving on ice until you get the feel. Joe

Joe's definitely right. You really have to work the throttle. I know when I started with MTM2, I was way too heavy on the throttle. Try a transfer gear of about 1100, med tires in dry weather, and soft suspension. Dave Fisher (DmndDave)
