I can appreciate that, very awesome!

I couldn't build a kit that quick even if there was a pay day at stake!

I guess I'm pretty slow but like to think it's meticulous, but not too over the top. Gotta be a clean build tho.

Can anyone tell me the advantages to the mid motor mount and rear motor mount configurations? I run on an indoor, hard packed, slick, small to medium sized track. I was thinking the mid motor would be better for small tracks because it seems like it would turn quicker with the weight more centered? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you guys post up the weight of the truck at full race weight and what battery size you are using?

Thanks!

Mid motor was intended for european style carpet or astro turf tracks which have an extremem amount of grip. For the mass majority of US dirt/clay tracks rear motor will work best.

Put it in dry. It will start out a little tight at first and work it self in over a few runs.

No lube required. The rack will break in over time and be very smooth and then eventually break. Applying lube will only attract dirt and gunk.

I had a fitment issue with the first rack in my 22T but it just needed a little TLC from an exacto and then it was smooth.

Be sure to have a spare rack ready to go.

Default Sway Bars

When will the sway bars for this truck be made available?
Looks like the team guys ran them at the shootout at HRH but the TLR site does not recognize the part numbers yet.

Frank, Casper quick question.

With the new shocks what would the kit pistons be equivalent to with the older shock setup? ie. 56's,57's? etc.

Thanks

Too hard to compare. I am not sure how to answer that.
