Just picked up a 22 kit. Just switched from dirt oval to offroad, so sorry for my ignorance. I just built the buggy and with a mmp, I had to cut the crap out of the body because the body wouldn't fit around the esc. Kept it from going all the way down. Is there another body that is taller in the rear that doesn't have to be hacked to fit a mmp?

Let's try and actually contribute to the thread and not go off topic
Anyways, what are people's opinions on closed cell foam inserts for the front tires?

I have been running on two medium/high grip clay indoor tracks. I'm using closed cell out back and good old school foam up front. I trim the inside and outside radius to a 45 degree angle and it has been working well. I tried closed cell up front last weekend and I had good turn-in, but on power steering was lacking. I could have probably tuned it in, but I just threw an old set with open cell on there and drove on. Granted, i am quite new to this, so my experience may be less than most on here, but it is what I have found so far.

Depends on the surface but I think most guys are using 3/4 rear foams in the front.

Do you think having a softer compound closed cell insert on the front would work out better? My Losi taper pins with the stock foam felt great at first but just recently some of that feel had diminished, the insert felt so soft now

A) Tyres that adhere to the surface better
B) Less overall mass
C) A lower CG
This has nothing to do with driveability, only total cornering power
I will repeat myself for the trolls, I (speaking only of myself) have not had issues with forward bite on corner exit. Therefore I don't and wouldn't use that mod, and since it raises my CG it is probably the last tuning option I would use.
I have an "adjustment" for you "ifyouonlyknew":
Take 6 ounces of lead and strap it to the wing, but you can't say you wouldn't try it until you do try it.

There are only three things that always increase total cornering power.
A) Tyres that adhere to the surface better
B) Less overall mass
C) A lower CG
