Don't go crazy with it, just try it out first, if it over rotates around corners, add shock limitters to the rear shocks....

Definitely go with stiffer springs and the stock SC10 tires....

And Barnhole like you never barnholed before....
Thanks Freddy.

Brandon and Freddy, I know you ran up there not to long ago with good results any ideas besides extra Barnholing
Your biggest enemy on carpet is going to be traction rolling.
Use your stock AE tires or some old, semi-bald race tires.....just clean em up good. Bring some CA or extra tire glue for the side walls if needed.
Lowered ride height isn't always good as they sometimes like to throw in a corrugated plastic siding section that rattle your ride and your nerves if you don't have the travel to glide over it.

So yeah,
-stiffer springs
-bald tires (clean em up good and sauce em up good)
-lots o' camber, especially in the front
-tighter diff
-stand your front shocks up

Just my 2 cents......

What specifically is a "22 chassis protector"? Is it a new product I'm not aware of?

Yes, we have both the Jconcepts and Associated chassis protectant sheets.

I told you that rc-trim makes one just for the 22 with screw holes per cut, I simply used a jconcepts one on mines and just trimmed it to fit its the same one you used on you B44.1..

Same thing. Just wanted to know if they Losi or anybody made a pre-cut one.

Thanks Larry.
