Here the set up you need. https://www.box.com/s/0f2d69b41d9bd5...5/5248391480/1 . FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER! Not just the springs and oils but EVERYTHING. Skipping parts of it will not give you the handling you want. Do this and hold on. If you can drive well, it will put you up front.
Dang...that is a smallest track i have ever seen !!

I've ran a 43 tooth spur since the scte came out. It opens up the gearing range and keeps temps down. Mikes, my home track, is medium size so I didn't feel I was ever lacking top end plus I love having the low end available for short approach jumps.

Big shout out too you guys for all the help @ Ohio RC Factory this weekend!!! Great Win with the MIP Pro4 Ten-SCTE... Seen when I got home the CVD's for the 22SCT our ready. Have to pick them up soon. Any shock or diff's for the 22SCT coming. Don't want to upgrade it too much cause it is dialed for me.

I would start with Matt Olsons Toys for Tots set up found on MIP web page and be prepared to try lighter shock oils.

Well I bought the MIP Pro-4mance kit for the SCTE and I've only been able to run it once so far and love it for the most part. Just a couple questions. I noticed with the base setup, the truck has a ton of push. Any idea's on getting a little more traction up front? It is on a Med-High bite clay indoor. Also I have been looking at some of matt olsen's setups and noticed he seems to be running a different shock towers than the ones that come with the kit. And also running the regular longer rear springs again. Can anyone shed some light on this. Was going to set my truck up tonight, but just confused on what he is using.
Thanks for any help!

I just installed the chassis kit in my SCTE last week, and got to run it yesterday and today. I'm very impressed. As a new driver, I wondered if I would even know enough to detect a difference, but the difference is huge. Makes even my driving skills look good. The term I've heard used repeatedly is 'planted' and that describes it exactly. I'm having way more fun now.
But I'm confused about the springs.
I followed the instructions and the basic setup to the letter, using the Losi front springs in the rear, but they just don't seem long enough. I've got ride height at about 27mm but at droop, both the front (MIP yellow) and the rear springs have zero tension on them. At the end of each day, the springs are askew on the retainers/mounts. I'm actually surprised I have not lost a mount.
Putting the TLR Orange rear springs on, and setting the adjustment rings all the way up, I get about 29mm ride height in the rear.
I'm sure I'm missing something.... any idea about what I'm missing?

You mentioned that you followed the setup sheet -- however, just to be sure, is the rear lower shock holder in the outermost hole on the a-arm (ie, close to wheel). I made the mistake of mounting the shock on the innermost hole on the a-arm and had the problem you just described.
