Some stick on weights can help with that. If you use the brass kick and add weight up front it should help plant the front.
The brace that sits inbetween the servo and battery has two mounting positions, I run it in the rear position, with the battery all the way forward, so about 3/4" of foam or so behind the battery.

Weight,7g up front and 20* plastic kickup with 5* caster then raised spindles/lowered chassis.
Last, HRC 3.5 toe block.
Haven't changed my car in weeks between 2 indoor clay tracks, 1 with slightly higher traction than the other.

I've been running mine on two different all-clay indoor tracks and still think that running rear transmission setup is the best.
Traction is outrageous on clay!

What size (mah) packs are they running?

When I purchased the 22 I also purchased the Xcelorin "shorty" pack and to be honest I am not too happy with it. It's nice for the first 3-4 laps but then it changes too much. I've since been using the traditional stick packs with ~5-6K mahs and have been much more consistent.
I've heard that Xcelorin is preparing to release in the near future a "shorty" pack with a significantly higher mah is that true?

I don't doubt it, the KOKAM cells are great. The reason I ask is because I think the benefit of the shorty pack is light weight, not that it's short.
Sure about that? I just checked Live RC, there was only results up for A1 (which Dustin did win), they're racing triple A's.

Congrats to tlr for the 2wd buggy victory!!!! now itd be nice to see what changes evans and thrue made to their cars for the longer packs that they run since everyone complains that the car has crazy oversteer with normal packs in it.
