Ah, I'm an idiot. I thought you were talking about the actual screws that hold the motor in place. (embarrassing)

This is great info, thanks for sharing/explaining!

Removing
front -> rear screws = allow more front flex aka front grip
rear -> front screws = allow more rear flex rear bite

The Schuies we run 1 screw with no problems.
I tested a battery with just the farthest rear screw. Got the on power steering I wanted and I didnt feel the pod was a problem.
Maybe they recommend more due to their grip levels and type of tracks? Im not sure.
But for what I race on, no spray and technical, I want all the steering/flex I can get.

Its an at your own risk but Im always willing to take the chance lol.
When I go back on high bite carpet I think Ill have the 2 rear ones in for tuning since grip isnt a problem.
My local carpet is always low grip so I know I'll start with at least 2 rear screws.
Once Im happy with the car Ill try just the rear and see the difference.

I mounted the body forward so basically moved the wing forward too.
The rear would want to spin out when they were behind me.
After I went to 6th I used the straights to pass and changed my lines up a little to keep them off the rear bumper.
It felt planted again - when I passed 4th they sucked up behind me so I had to break my line to keep the car stable.
All body dynamics lol. Im running the new Pantera body too which Ive never run before. Im gonna try a couple others too.

hows the balance on the pantera? I just started using the protoform ptzero and it has a nice balance. Feels similar to a wolverine but more stable with trade off being a bit less midturn steering.

I like it so far. Ive used the PTZero before, I would say a bit more steering from the nose but not as aggressive as the Wolverine.
Down a straight and through the corner (clean traffic) it holds firm. Just enough rear grip but not too much to induce a push.
Just gotta play with my wing for the aero in traffic for me.

I havent even tried this myself so its a bit early to sell them. Plus after putting the car together with the chassis there are some other things i want to improve/tweak. If all goes well maybe I will. keep you guys posted.

Anyone know what "BYPASS" means on the setup sheet?

Yesterday I did some more testing with the MTC3.
I tested running active front towers and was surprised how much of a difference it made. It had more exit steering especially in quick transitions. It was a touch inconsistent as to be expected but it would be worth a try in low grip conditions when you are struggling for steering.

Inconsistent how?
Did you alter your droop settings?

Mugen have a replacement motor mount for the MTC3 for those that have had gearing issues
