Root
Started with the root setup made some minor tweaks and rear link changes along with some weight distribution and the 22 is on rails! Wow! BTW it's a RTR

[QUOTE=the wheel;10546333]guys i have been running the 22 for about 3 months now and i just can not get it to handle the way i want , it is really unforgiving,i have tried multiple set-ups and i just am not able to push this car ,it is very much a touchy car ,i have had frank roots set-ups on it ,dustin evans reedy set-up and i played with both and now i am working back to the stock set-up and it is a little better but still very touchy,any suggestions or is this the car itself or is it the set-up or just me, alittle help guys please i run 10.5 on a med to high bite tight track[/
I'll share the specs of my 22 with you and you can decide for yourself. I feel like I can really push the 22 and put it wherever I want whenever I want it's on rails. It's similar to the root set up but with a few minor tweaks. I'll post it tomorrow

tires
If you're used to running an 1/8th scale and go to an electric 2wd buggy that is a huge jump. The two are two totally different worlds. 2wd buggy is MUCH more sensitive to the track and to set up changes. What kind of track are you running on? 80% of your setup is tires. From what you've described (off power push, rear end getting squirelly when on the gas), it sounds like you don't have the right tires for your track. Talk to the fast guys and see what tires they are running.

thanks bud ,bud yes your right but my tires are almost exactly the same as what everyone is running were they are running losi and jc tires i am running panther,but i have to stay with panther but they are about .5 to 1.0 a lap faster i mean if i completely stay right on my lines and smooth as silk i am not far off i mean i got 7th in the Amain out of 42 guys but i just cannot push it and if it was a little more forgiving and consistant i could get away from some of the little bobbles i think and run with them better,i ran my buddies 22 and he has it in mid motor and it was way more forgiving and able to be pushed more what do you think

Well Jconcepts makes awesome tires, i would check out their website and see what looks like it would work. Without me seeing it its really hard to say. I run gold barcodes but im running on an indoor damp clat track.
Since you are running on an outdorr clay track it probably gets a groove in it on the racing line so orange compound might work really well or blue, im sure green would too but would wear very fast, i would try some version 1 or 2 orange or blue barcodes if you cant ask any locals with the new medium foam 3206-2 from jconcepts. Red bk bars would probably work too.

Give the mid motor set up a try then. I usually don't go with the factory guys setups cause I'm not them. Granted, I changed to Frank Root's setup and love it, but not everyone likes it. It's all in your driving style. If the fast guys are only a second or less faster then you, then you just need some practice. You will never be able to push this car like you can an 1/8th scale. Good luck!
