Hey All...so its been a while since Casper and I got to spend a satruday at the track together and decided to just wrench on the 22-sct's today. Overall, we both started off very happy with our SCT's but we finished up incredibly excited by our 22SCT's, dropped about 1.0-1.3 seconds off our fast lap and brought the average down by about the same...so very significant and way easy to drive. Feel free to try it out and comment back...
Here it is...
Front - 2 hole 1.5/27.5wt losi oil, shock mounted middle on top and outside on bottom. Shock had NO limiters in it and was unscrewed 3 turns. We ended up with green truck front springs but if you want a little more push, you can use the blue truck front springs. Camber link on inside with 3mm, spindles centered. No bumpsteer washers, 2 old gold washers under the rack side ball stud for the ling from the servo to the rack. ride height at 26.5mm measured with AE ride height guage. White sway bar.
Rear - 2 hole 1.6/30wt losi oil, shock mounted 3 on top and outside on bottom with NO limiters and shock unscrewed 1 turn. Yellow buggy rear springs. Camber link 1-B with 2mm under both, hubs forward all the way. ride height at 26.5mm. White sway bar
The only weight in the car now is 2 TLR weights over the tranny so 14 grams. The battery is a long pack, one older CR pad behind the battery only with the stop moved back to keep it from sliding forward. This gives great forward traction which has been a bit limited on this car until now.
The limiters being removed is huge so please dont get lazy here, lol. Dual rate turned down to between 93-95%
If I missed anything please let me know...
I am finally ok sharing a setup and thank Casper as always as we work great with figuring all this out together!

Ryan - with this setup the main things I note are different from the last setup Caper posted are:
Ride height down to 26mm from 29/30
Shock limiters out and shafts lengthened
Washers on the steering rack link from servo
Weight and battery position changes
What do you feel are the effects of increased droop?
What are the effects of the washers under that ball stud on the steering rack servo linkage?

Awesome thanks. I actually removed limiters with some other tweaks for a race today and won for the first time in a long while. Truck felt very predictable when pushed, which let me push it harder. I've always thought yours and Casper's setups worked for me so I can't wait to compare/try out this setup.
Also - when you say you dropped a second, that sounds like such a massive speed difference. How big of a track is this? Like a 25sec lap pace?
