Step B-1, trail setting, what offset should i be using here for racing purposes, offset inserts back, centered, or offsets inserts forward? The track here is clay.

Also, with the servo horn, is the aluminum one that you can get for the tlr 22 3.0 interchangeable?
I'd go with the recommended setup in the manual to start.

As Frank said we normally run 4mm trailing or offest back.

The 22 alum horn is good for all versions of these cars.

If a guy was to change from 4mm, What would he expect more steering or less?

Typically more reactive steering.

Chassis redesigned to allow side ways shorty pack. Motor is much closer to the rear shock tower/diff for better rear traction. Revised rear suspension, revised front suspension and steering blocks.

Lots of changes.

Okay, should I get this over the 2.0 if I just want to start racing? I've been leaning towards the 2.0, but now that this is out...

If you're racing outdoors on a loose or blown-out track, then 2.0 built rear motor.

If you're indoors or at least on hard packed surface and you think you'll really get into this, then I'd say just go for the 3.0.

If you're indoors or hard packed and really not sure how serious you'll get, then 2.0 rear motor. Even on clay, the 2.0 rear motor is pretty good. It's not going to hold you back as you just begin to develop your skills. Really, the rear motor can be very forgiving to drive. They just don't jump as level since their weight is so rear-biased.

Not having a 78 tooth spur gear at my disposal, is there any pinion recommendation for me to run with a 13.5 motor?

My track is an outdoor covered track, and I think I'll get further into Rc racing after a while.

If the traction is medium to high (people aren't sliding or throwing roost everywhere), then I'd probably go with the 3.0. If you're going to get into it, it will last you and be the current model for a couple years. You'll be able to get parts and support for the 2.0 for a while still, but obviously the 3.0 will have a longer life for you.
