When switching from rear to mid motor or vice versa, would it be safe to assume that the dampening may need to be different?
And would that be something else to consider in the parts list if someone is thinking of an instant flip of the motor trans configuration? Rear shocks and springs or even rears and fronts?
Frank, you're dialing in your mid setup now, can you give us some input on what changes we might be wanting to consider?
Nice run today by the way.

Hey Guys,
Sorry but I have been off-line the past few days.
1. I am running Mid-Motor
2. I am the only US Team Driver Running Mid-Motor.
3. Dustin definately ran Rear-Motor for Reedy, and ever since.
4. The TLR team will all be running Rear-Motor at Cactus this week, with me being the only exception starting with Mid-Motor.
5. The Mid-Motor car has been very good. It doesn't "feel" as dialed in as the rear-motor setup, but I am still tuning in the setup. With a mid-motor car, even the setup doesn't feel 100% yet, I am still doing faster lap times and qualifiers than with my rear-motor car.
6. Setup wise, I am very similar to rear-motor. The front is the same except I went to 56 piston/25 wt. instead of 55/27.5. The rear I am at 25 (27.5), the shock is inside on the tower (middle), hubs back (middle), and 50g of weight on the rear shock tower (14g behind the ESC). Rear motor is ().
Hit me up with any other questions!

I plan on getting a 22 later this year. Very excited, haven't owned a buggy since the Losi XX buggy came out. Got more interested in nitro then short course trucks. I love all the features this buggy has! Hopefully I'll have one in time for the Annual Hobby Haven Labor Day Shootout. But I will get one!!!

Rear motor feels lusher but mid motor is faster.

What tires should I order for this buggy? I live in Michigan and have never had anything other than sc trucks. Looking to run a few different outdoor tracks around here.

Calibers is what I ran last year on my sc truck. I ran on a night that we only ran sc trucks. I have never had a 2wd buggy and don't know who around here that does have one. I dont really wanna buy 2 sets of tires and just end up having to total wrong thing.
