Quick question for anyone who has tried both. When I built my 22 elite there was the option of installing or not installing a body clip post at the front of the car. I didn't realize the rest of the body was only held on with velcro. I am wondering, how well does the body stay in place with only velcro? I havent painted or trimmed my body yet. Is it woryh disassembling the front and pulling out the clip post and going with only velcro?

Sorry if I am in the wrong part of forum, new to this forum thing?
Thanks in advance for any help. Just getting back into rc racing, i have a Losi 22 2.0 mid motor.
Can someone tell me what sway bar set will work on this 2.0 mid motor?
Thanks

For the front of the car you can run a 22 4.0 or a 22sct front sway bar but for the rear in mid motor configuration you are going to have to get creative and make one. At least as far as I know there was not a rear sway bar until the 4.0. The 22 SCT had one for rear motor configuration.

I prefer full-length velcro strips over the patches supplied with the kits. Maybe it is a relic from the days when we used to run on dusty tracks, but it works better for me.

Less trail gives you more direct/aggressive steering. On the B5M, virtually everybody only used the 4 mm trail setting and AE accordingly ditched the inserts. You might give 3 mm a try, but it may be a handful.

I just want to add (at least in the case of the 5.0) that in addition to trail, you can also adjust the Ackerman setting to control steering aggression. The end result in changing the steering tabs on the knuckles is the amount of the throw each provides (default AC kit setup is #5 - right in the middle)... so, you can try varying combinations of the two adjustments to control the feel of your steering.

Well this is my first 2wd buggy since the RC10B2 so I am probably not the one to ask. Haha. But i really enjoyed how it drove out of the box, the sole thing I adjusted today was I dialed back the slipper a little. I plan on playing around more with adjustments on future trips.
That was like the second thing said to me at the track. Haha I swapped them immediately. Going to try running them the other way next time to get a feel for what exactly changes.

You cannot rotate indoor tires. The leading breaks in and gives you more traction. If you try them in the other direction after you already ran them this way. It will be worse. Next set run them in the opposite direction.
