So, I've just built my ST and raced the other day with great results but was a bit perplexed as I wasn't able to get great steering throw without the wheels rubbing on the front side of the suspension arm and camber link ball cup as well. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and come up with a solution. I'm not that keen on dremelling the arm for fear of weakening it but the wheel is rubbing so bad that it is creating a groove on its own.

I'm not getting full throw at every point of the suspension compression. I have my EPA dialled down to where it just starts to rub and the inside wheel still has more travel to go if it wasn't for the outside tire rubbing. A bit of a strange design. I definitely feel the truck could gain more steering if it wasn't for this. Otherwise the truck is killer. It's in mm4 for indoor carpet right now and man does it feel balanced. I guess it's time to break out the dremel.

I have been reading some stuff, and It seems that alot of people run the MM set up on high grip tracks. But does anyone run a MM set up on a Loomy/dusty track?

I run the DEX210 in the summer on dusty/loomy tracks and in MM the rear end just refuses to stay when accelerating out of corners and the car has too much steering which does nothing to prevent the rear from coming around. The extra weight behind the rear wheels really helps balance the drivability of the car. I'm sure the same would translate to the truck as most are using roughly the same setup as their cars.

I saw some posts earlier about different bodies. Has anybody tried the Proline bodies for the Losi or Associated? Thanks.

just picked up a used desc210...what would your recommendations be for gearing a 17.5 with a 87 spur ?

Any recommends on a good clay setup.. nice size track, med-high bite. Already have tires. But you guys running a front weight or no? Shorty or long lipo? Just snagged a new kit, only upgrading the FR and RR hangers to alum the rest plan on running stock. Maybe throw a shortened desc210 bumper on the front for a skid & strength.
Thx!
