So, you guys think i should remove the RPM bumper before i test it out? If i use it, i cant return it.
Just curious as to how much the front skid plate makes a difference with the handling of the truck.
I am racing only, not bashing at all.

I raced with it fine. Got second in both my heats and am on my way to the a-main with it this weekend (race got stormed out). Made no difference from the stock bumper performance wise. The rear rpm skid plate is not bad either.

but are you talking about the rear arms? does that affect my steering EPA?

Setup Sheet ?
I am pretty new to this truck and have been going through the setup sheets on the Losi web site. My question is about the rear camber link placement. On most setup sheet they have you move the link to the B position (hole) and then I assume that you adjust the camber back to -1 (on most sheets). Why not just adjust the camber to -1 and leave the link alone? What is the point of adjusting the link location? 
Is there really a diffrence between 27.5 to 30 shock oil?
Not that i like to question the pros but I am more into the mechanics and the building of the trucks than actually driving them.

There is obviously a difference between 27.5 and 30 but it is pretty small. Back in the day we used to only have 5wt changes avaiable but guys starting mixing oil to get "half weights" and losi and AE started releaseing these half weights. Most setups for these cars will run around 30wt oil as this common for offroad 10th scale. We will tune from there.

The link will change how the camber changes as the arm moves up and down. Setting it at ride hight to a static -1 is just the starting point for the camber. As the truck leans over or squats under acceleration will change the camber depending on the camber link position.

Dude I told you what your problems most likely, and apparently you skimmed over it. Check your servo saver, little blue disc on the underside of the steering post. Do you see a lot of spring? If so tighten it down
