I'm actually ok being the only K driver yet alone only mid motor in the field dominated by popular RM setups.

Building this thing wasn't on the easy side without lots of internet help… THANKS EVERYONE on this forum. I used the Cody King setup with a few tweaks. No additional weight and battery in the middle position with 3.5 degree rear toe. After 1st lap I knew it had better feel than my DEX210. It turns more aggressively and jumps flatter just like other initial impressions. One thing I noticed is how much quicker it reacts when the buggy gets loose from improper corner entry. I run the Gold springs front and rear as we have lots of jumps, large and small. I also put the chassis protector on, as the rear of the chassis in mid motor takes a fair bit of abuse, this thing does slap -- 23-24mm ride height.

All in all I'm pleased and despite what others think I am staying MM. I don't know if it's the buggy itself or just a day where I was "on" but I managed to pick up a lap and my consistency has improved. My friend noticed trackside that my buggy was the only one that seemed smooth. He felt the competition looked like they were hanging on too much.
