The reason I don't have the swaybars on is because i dont have the 3x10mm screws to secure it lol.

Put them on!

Good point, so let's change STLNLT's name to BOR as well for you:

BOR = Blacked Out Revo

For STLNLST

BOR = Blacked Out Riley

Use the silver and gold springs with the spool and sway bars, drive around the corners on power just a little. With the diff you can cost around the corner, the spool is faster if you drive it right. IMHO
Good luck and try Stew Noble's set up (all of it) Let us know how it works for you.

im running stew nobles setup right now and its working awsome for me, some of the local guys I race with regularly say they don't like the way it handles but it works well for me.

The only things that are different are the lack of swaybars and the spool. Instead I have no swaybars and a front ball differential instead. Im not a GREAT driver and I crash a few times every race, I know with a spool Im gonna break alot of parts.

This has been around for maybe 10 months, it's unlikely to go on general release as it's quite fragile.....If you would like to experiment with greater rear flex then cutting or shaping the c/f rear deck is currently the best approach....

With the one-way you may break more parts but with the spool it's not much different then the diff to drive, I used to run the front diff tight and liked it so I went with the spool and it's nice to drive. With rubber tires it's not hard on your car.
