Been running without it since Dustin ran it at JCONCEPTS race in MA. No issues. Been running indoor and outdoor on a big track.

If u put the spindles carriers arms steering rack in 1.0 car it is the same as a 2.0 car. So you can do the same modifications!

The best thing to happen to 22 based mid motor vehicles would be a more compact(shorter) transmission. The motor is too far from the axle centerline. Having both a RM 22 and MM22 along with a MM 22sct, I couldnt belive the different feel from a Centro or the Tamiya mm I drove. Compact trans makes a better balanced car and transmits more force to the rear wheels for forward bite.

Maybe mbtoolmaker35 can do this? Obviously alloy not brass.

I cut my waterfall so it's still there but only to hide the wires

Thanks man. Just bolted up the rocket racing anti-squat block and the camber plate / rear brass bulkhead. Very nice machining job on them. Can't wait to run tomorrow.

Almost everything is adjustable with the lights on the esc.
Hotwire does make it much easier, and you can fine tune it more.
Also you can update the esc if needed. If you already have a tablet or laptop its worth the money.
