I might have missed it further back but what the question I was answering was the truck comes off jumps front end high and he said he could not get it to bring the nose down not that it was coming off jumps nose down. If the truck was nose down then I would look at brakes being too aggresive or too much drag brake yes, but the truck like most 2wd SC trucks do tends to come off jumps nose up and no matter how much brake you have it will struggle bring the nose down with alot of weight to the back of the truck. This is why I tried running short pack all the way forward so there is less weight to the back of the truck making it want to come off the jump less nose high and if it is nose high it is easier to get it to rotate to flat or nose down with brakes. This worked great for me as I just raced a track with massive tripples so I was flying high in the air and had great control of the truck while in the air. As I stated before though give it a try because it will not work for everyone because rear traction may suffer a bit, for me the truck still had plenty but if you like the way it flys but need more rear bite you should be able to go one softer on the rear spring due to less weight in the rear of truck.
Let me know if you try it and like it. This work great for me.

When I run a track with a big jump you need motor... and lots of it. Come in to the jump a little hotter than normal and get off the gas sooner than normal. You can always use the throttle to get the front end back up but once the wind has grabbed the body no way a little brake is going to get it back down
The triple at OCRC is pretty dam big right now but my truc never had an issue over it at Surf City

yea sc's will catch air even with the bodies cut out, your best bet is to come a little hotter and let off before the lip should be about level(if it's not then tap brakes). I must say my 22SCT jumps pretty darn good even off the triple @ oc/rc without vents in the body it jumps level.

Novak Impact ESC (Which is pretty small) with the Ballistic 6.5, you're lookin at about $270 for the combo. A good deal IMO for a "small" ESC/motor combo would be the Novak Edge 2s system with a 10.5. Its a good system for stock racing and I believe it has no ESC timing advance, $160 for that combo and the 10.5 Ballistic is still 4200kv, which is more than enough. Just a thought

I am running the Travis Brock setup and have an issue with the front end being too high in the air off the bigger jumps. All of the other sct's are not experiencing this issue (including my ultima sc-r) as bad as the two 22sct's at my track. It's kind of nice in a way, I can see how there is more ability to move the truck in the air. But all that goes out the window when you hit the ground and the rear of the body digs in and throws you off setting up for the next corner. Should I try different front or rear spring? Should I add weight in the front? I'm not sure.... But this is the main thing keeping me from using my sc-r in the race.

Although not as critical on a 22 as a SC10 due to the longer 22 topshaft.... I see that your outer drive plate has the centering cutout facing out. Make sure that the round washer fits into the groove to keep the plate centered. If you look on the instructions pic, the cutouts on the 2 outer plates face each other, with the washer stack (flat-cone-flat) in between. It may function fine the way you have it but just to be safe I'd swap things around

On the subject as over rotation....you guys might be chasing something that is a easy fix. Have you guys even considered your brakes?
Might be as easy as adjusting your brake strengh. To much drag brake can cause this too. Try just reducing you brakes a bit and soften them up so you dont lock up the tires. Maybe check into that before chasing a setup.

Kdub, welcome to the 22SCT thread! Great to have you here as I know several of us have already put your slipper onto our 22sct's. I haven't run mine yet, will get to it next week for sure though! I did a calculation and even though it's not exact, I think my final drive ratio is really close to the stock 86T pinion using the 84T. You just have to go down a tooth with the pinion to achieve a similar FDR. Example, I run a 86T spur and 16T pinion on my 6.5 yielding a 13.06 FDR, went to the 84T Triad spur and a 15T pinion and now yielding a 13.60 FDR, so it's close enough that I don't think anybody even the very astute pros would recognize a difference. On the front page, I put the method of figuring out which pinion size you would need to use with the different gear size to achieve same/similar FDR's. That being said, there's always going to be some people who don't like to deviate from the stock sizes, so if you did come out with an 86T spur for the Triad system geared more toward the 22SCT user, I'm sure that many people would use it.

Hey Fellas,
Here is a guy at my track that has got his 22SCT pretty dialed....I know it was over rotating originally but take a look now.......still not perfect.....but I've driven it and it gets better every race day!
