I thought I saw a setup for the MM srx2 for 17.5 on facebook. I think it was called "fast setup" or something like that. I was trying to find it and I cant seem to. Does anyone have the pdf? or even know what I am talking about. I was gonna give it a try at the track tonight.

A quick tip for new guys to the car and with out extra front wheels. If your out to a race and the track only has assoicated 12mm front hex wheels. I found a trick. I used a .5mm clutch shim inside the wheel hex and it will no longer rub the front suspension. No more needing to dremel wheels out

Very cool. It should hold. I've been using CB's custom gears and it's holding up well. Are you not going to use bearings for the idlers? I'm not sure I like that.
CB's Customs is using Serpent's diff gear and milling it down. Using the Losi idlers though because it holds up better. He also offers milled down aluminum idlers.
Is the track width right after that? I need to shave down more than 0.5mm so I'm surprised this would work.

Has anyone had success with shorty forward against servo and esc back by motor?

I'm not saying that another configuration is not better in a few scenarios of track conditions, just the above is the most versatile.

I just ordered the AL ones! BTW Jared i have been using your setups for my base with only slight tweaks, I like your insight and details! I madea turnbuckle rear brace that gave me the rear grip i was missing on our track which is covered clay witih some dust so its a little tricky

The bearing is in the middle and only uses one per idler instead of two.
