Can anyone tell me what size sway bars come with LOSB2222.
Also, are there any set ups out there for a loose dirt large wide open track?

Yes Sir, I had all the 2.0 and 3.0 parts on the bench last night and put the wrong side guard on. Senior moment for the week

Don't worry, we all have senior moments even when we aren't seniors.

I don't even bother with the nerf bars. Saves weight and IMO they catch the body more then they protect but that is just me.

Since chassis is wider, the nerfs push out on the sides of the body a little. I'll test them first.

My SCTE 3.0 arrives tomorrow. I had both the 1.0 and 2.0 a few years back, but recently tried and sold the Tekno. The Tekno is durable as hell for sure, but I never liked how it handled compared to my old SCTEs, so I'm coming back. My SCTE 1.0 and 2.0 had a lot of front center drive shaft wobble and I used to buy the King Headz double bearing center front upright which cured it. Does the 3.0 still have that play and wobble at the front center drive shaft near the center diff?

I think the dogbone Center Drive Lines helped some of that

Race 2,update:
Qualified 2nd. Was leading the main by 20 seconds when I noticed I lost a lot of my punch. About 5 laps in the back left wheel spun off again.....same as last week. The nut was still on and I didn't over tighten them. Since it was the same wheel 2 weeks in a row I'm thinking a bearing went bad. The guy who picked up my truck after the wheel came off said the axel and hex were on FIRE.

Update: left front wheel was also spun out. So the left front and rear wheel spun out at the hex. Now I'm worried

not sure about the sway bars.

the box set-up is not bad at all. i raced mine for the first time this weekend
on a large loose outdoor track. i have a stce 1.0 that is set up really well
for outdoors. 1st qual. the 3.0 had me 8th out of 20. i didn't get much time
to play with it or make changes because i had issues with an other car.
2nd and 3rd qual i had an electronic issue so i had to run the 1.0.
so the 1.0 got me to 10th starting spot out of 12 in the a main. the 3.0 with
box set up got me to a 6th place finish in the a main. thats after getting
taken out on the first lap and actually had to come back from the 12th place.

the 3.0 is awesome. it was a ton better then i thought it would be outdoors.
just try the box set up and see what works

by the way this was not a club race this was the ryan lutz hometown shootout.

so i'm about half way done with the build... following the instructions... one package at a time. I think i might have screwed something up with the front end.

1. the travel seem really short
2. the inside wheel seems to be turning "well" and the outside wheel seems to be turning short...

i'm looking at the instructions, the car, etc... i cant figure out what i goofed up

FYI, the parts quality is freaking awesome...
