I am sorry I did forget to mention it is with the alloy battery brace that does allow 10mm further forward placement... It is considered "full forward" position not middle... You are more then welcome bud...

How is everyone mounting the full size packs?

Im starting a new setup and using Dustin's setup here as my base. Just wondering what he means by the battery in the middle.
Im assuming by middle, he is using just the 1 pad in the front standing and the half cut pad in the back? Or other way around?
once again, thank you for your help, much appreciated.

I have read serveral references to the kit coming with orange springs. My kit is about 3 to 4 months old, and I could swear the springs it came with are red. I am looking at them right now under my light. Looks red... Did they change the kits to red? What say you?

Hey all just a curiosity question for you, please don't take it the wrong way....there's an awful lot of 22's popping up in the F/S thread, any idea why so many people are unloading them? I had one for a little bit, it's a great buggy just wasn't for me. I know I saw some complaints that people can't get it to turn, it's too long, etc. Just like anything else if you put in some time you can get it to respond the way you want. It's like people used to complain that the XXXcr didn't turn or the B4 was way too loose. Some tuning time and patience as well as asking questions get a buggy locked in and I know for me in particular, I don't always like the feel of someone else's setup. My B4 is so ridiculously stable that my 7 year old can wheel it no problem. My 22 was similar yet I just didn't like the way it felt on the track even though my times were good with it. Again just curious as to what you're hearing, there's been soooooo many popping up in the for sale thread that it really caught my eye. As far as I'm concerned I'm trying the 22 shocks on my X6 instead of some other Big Bores because I think they rival the Kyoshos, also trying the 22T shocks on my X60 for the same reason. I just find it curious that there are so many for sale now and wanted to see what the most current gripes have been, maybe knowing that I can help some of the local guys before they decide to give up on their 22's.
It's likely that more 22's have been sold new in the past year than any other buggy. People like to switch vehicles in this hobby, the toys are a big part of the fun. We've seen waves of B4's and RB5's in the past too. The 22 is just the "it" car right now.

I do agree a buggy is far more of a real race vehicle, but the sc requires a different skill set it just appears to require a more brutal driving style. When I was at the track it was fun to mess with them by easily taking the inside line and out accelerating them through corners, the 4wd guys especially. I guess they're just used to plowing through with power and the buggies are just quicker to respond.
