Can some one point me in the right direction to get all the required parts to complete a mid-motor setup in the RTR. Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered before.

Are you runnning the schumacher pins for tires? Those things hook up like crazy on carpet. I tried running the stock rtr tires with traction compound and it was ok. However, once switching to these tires it is a whole new ballgame.

On carpet...awesome. Running it stock in rtr form. Can't complain! It comes with 2000 weight. Some say to up it a tad to the 3000-5000 range.

I hav'nt received it yet but I think it looks better. I don't really like the stock shell. Two wings? What is the difference between them?

Wings are the same, gives you the option for trimming one wing low and one wing high for more rear downforce.

How does he get the nose to drop so nicely over the jumps. Mine seems to want to go slightly nose up all the time. Im glad when it comes down level. Cant seem to find the right throttle combination to get the nose down consistently.

Of course Im used to 1/8 where a tap of the brakes drops the front end easily. this 2wd stuff just doesn't respond in the air so I guess I need to work on setup and the right approach on the jumps. Any advice?

I am running the 22 rtr and the nose naturally falls like that. This is rear motor.

just bought one off a member and converted to mid motor to run carpet. put the AE gear diff in (5G fluid) and ran it with the 8.5 it came with.man it handles like a dream and boy is it a lil rocket. 1000 times better than the rb5 i had.

Any advice on how to stop the slipper from slipping? I read page 1 and tried a washer but I still can't get it to stop slipping.

I Never got it to fully lock down for when breaking in the diff but it is more then tight enough for racing.
