I don't have any weight in my truck. That was the goal when I started working on it, shorty pack and no extra weight. Be sure that this setup would work for the guys trying to race stock as well (especially really).
You can always throw in a full size pack and see how it makes the truck feel, or maybe a bit of lead/brass/steel in front of the battery. I might require a stiffer front spring though.

I am looking at the Frank Root 2.0 setup and this line confuses me:
Front-> Shock Limiters
-5 turns unscrewed (3mm uptravel lim. on shaft outside)
What is this referring to?
Also, seems to be contradicted in the Notes section:
Front Shock Limiters -2 turns w/0 uptravel (shows rear limiting in both)
Thanks for any help.

Limiters on the outside control over all roll in the truck, think of them as upstop limiters.
He's unscrewing the shock ends to get more droop out of the car. but doesn't want it on the up travel hence the outer limiters.
One would think that unscrewing the shocks say only 2 turns would accomplish something similar but this may not have been the case when Frank tested it.

So Frank...I guess I know you won't/can't answer this question but: with the 22SCT price cuts and low availability any chance you want to confirm that a 22SCT 2.0 is in the works? I guess I would assume it is given the 22 2.0. It would be nice to see a kit that includes the components you are running.

Me neither...but it did make my truck much better....I have no doubt that SOMEDAY there will be a new generation of 22sct...until then I will run the latest setup even if it means I had to buy parts...that is just the way it goes...development happens even after trucks are sold and running....the other option would be a manufacturer that is not as aggressive trying new things for improvement...I am glad TLR has shown us setups to get our trucks faster...parts or not...

The 22T parts in the rear are a big change on their own. I'm not running the 2.0 front end parts and I'm very happy with my current setup. Arms and bones aren't too bad...

hey frank,
http://www.tlracing.com/Products/Def...odID=TLR232027
are the grooves for ventilation or are they supposed to change the characteristics of the slipper? Both?

Front is -2 turns, but there is no issue with the piston hitting at full up travel with that down travel.

Sorry you feel this way. I shared the setup for those willing to try the parts, and looking to improve the truck as best as we know how at this time (which is something we always strive for). If you'd prefer not to buy the parts, just try the Frank Root Mike's Hobbies/Short Course Show Down Setup.
Ok I'm an idiot. If I pick 2wd SCT I suppose I'll be getting the 22SCT and all the parts.

The issue is that I don't yet own the truck. I'm thinking about getting back into 2wd SCT and the 22SCT seems to be the truck to drive. But the thought of buying a brand new kit and then all the parts required is a little off putting. For whatever reason I'd rather pay the full original price of the 22SCT and get all the parts than buying it at the discounts price and adding all the additional parts. In reality it doesn't make any sense as the cost is really about the same.

Also RC is about figuring out how to make something better which is what Frank did. He shared it as most of the TLR guys do with us so that we also can improve the truck. You do not have to try it. I get the cost but in RC trial and error is costly no matter how you look at it and if a guys like Frank try and make it work then share it well its not nearly as costly.
I think overall a new kit would be pointless unless they do what they did to the 22 and 22 2.0. Most guys can convert their old to the new with a few parts geometry wise and not have to buy a full kit.
