Casper, I dont know if you saw my post earlier. I put your latest set on my truck last week. It handles great. I even won the SC class for the first time. But the question i have is, when the front shocks are fully extended, there is a gap between the spring adjuster and the spring. Is that the way it is supposed to be?

Anyways I moved the rear hubs all the way forward, I switched out to a gear diff, and turned my throttle expo up. All that was a night and day difference as I finished 1st, 2nd, then a bad tire change put me in 4th in the main. Not sure what else is left to adjust except tires but I'm almost there.
You could try one or more of the following to make the front end push more:
Heavier front springs, thicker front shock oil, front sway bar and no rear bar, reduce your steering travel limit, move the battery back.

Glad you are having success with the setup!

Hey guys,
Built my shocks on the 22sct. The question I have is why do the shock springs rub against the shock bodies. I moved them around turned them upside down to try and find a smooth spot and normally I can but with these springs I couldn't. Is that fairly normal and does the spring hitting the shock body hamper dampining? Thanks.

Thanks Casper,
One more question on wheel hexes. If I go with the 1.5mm 22 frt hexes and the 1.5mm 22sct rear hexes will this help with traction on loose bumpy tracks and is it still ROAR legal? Thanks

Rears assuming you are not running a lot of toe it will be legal. Wider rear end should have some more forward bite narrower rear more side bite.

Thanks
