You can't be a noob, you have more posts than I do!! 
The anti-squat is adjusted by little shims that slip under the inside hinge pin rear toe in bracket. The thicker the shim the more antisquat. The A, B and C hub carrier blocks alter the position of the outside rear camber link. The A and B I believe are the same height but alter the position in relation to each other horizontally. The carbon fiber C bracket actually lowers the link mount location.

finally got a good gearing set up on there (i think) and got some good batteries for the car. i want to get away from the sensorless rtr motor.
my one big disadvantage is the track is only open on race day so practice is a little crazy and i am not comfortable enough making the cnages there because its a false reading of what the car is going to do in the race. i try one thing at a time but not a lot has worked yet

Okay guys back to the real stuff... lol
Can someone post a link or just tell me the basics of tuning springs, pistons, and oil wts? What each does.. If I learn the concepts i'll be able to make changes to my buggy and tune it more effectively out on the track, instead of just trying random stuff and hoping it works on the tracks that I run.

Ok, ok, ok... I'm spending way too much time skidding on my lid. Anybody have any ideas (besides keeping it on the wheels -- I'm working on it, dammit!) for protecting the front and rear shock towers from getting ground down to nothing? My front outside holes (thankfully never used) are in serious jeopardy by now.
You'd think for us sloppy bastards there'd be some attachment to the tower to provide a durable surface to skid upside-down at 30 mph on...
Yeah, new shock towers are cheap. But if it doesn't already exist, some kind of "dunce cap" for the towers would be slick.
Anybody know of anything like this, or feel like fabbing something up for fun? I, and the other doofuses who drive inverted, would thank you.
