on power push
So I just raced my 22 for the first time last weekend, very impressed overall with the handling and took a third place in a very tough field. The one problem that was slowing me down a lot was an on power push comming out of the corner. I'm running the D. Evans roar set-up almost to the T, but running 30wt front and 27.5 rear and 24mm height fr & rear. The track was indoor clay very high grip tried three of the popular front tire choices that the fast guys where using, the best where scrubs, moved the shorty pack all the way forward and added 1/2 ounce of weight over the bulkhead and was able to shave about 3 sec a lap but still had substantially more on power push than anyone else. Any tips that may help this? Camber,anti-squat,shock oil,spring rate, bump steer? Thanks

You can use shock spacers for the rear arm shimming.

Is the stop moved to the rear holes in the chassis with the batt. forward?
In this position you are setup for max rear traction.
If so, you can move the stop to the foward holes and add foams on either side to lock it in several positions but I would expect the rear grip to come unglued when the battery gets too far forward.
Scrubs pointing in the right direction? center < facing foward?

How far forward are you moving the shorty pack?

Batt. tray turned around backwards or just moved to the rear holes?
How many pads standing up behind battery? 1 pad behind is sort of full rear position and batt. will be touching the stop in the rear holes. Max traction for me.

Since we're talking batteries, any tips on where to place a full size pack? My car is a bit loose at turn in off power but has pretty good forward bite. Has a mild mid corner and exit push as well.
