Unfortunately, that is the Mikes hobby shop in Dallas, TX, not Houston TX.
It seem like casper's RM setup is for his "stock class" races and his MM setup is for his "Mod class" races. So should I run a RM or MM setup since I am running a Castle 3800 KV motor? Thank You for the help.

I would recommend RM for most conditions. If traction is REALLY good MM is good. If you run stock I would stick with RM as less system drag for more power and run a shorty pack.

Also I run Mod in both. I have not run Stock SCT in over 2 years now.

when you say ESC on the chassis, do you mean directly behind the servo? or in the rear under the tray?
is "1-C" terms for the newer style 22 2.0 hubs, or the older 1.0 style?
2 pads front as to where? what shorty and how many pads behind it? if you could elaborate a little or post a pic, that would be great.

Andrew a lot of guys are running the ESC on the chassis below the esc tray. Some leave it out completely, some do a bit of dremel work on the top tray part to allow for wires and the fan. kind of up to you. maybe frank or someone will post a pic. Also, on the new front caster blocks they added an outside hole, and I think that maybe what he is talking about.

To add to franks setup tips, I have been running the HRC front pivot which I felt made a big difference, TLR makes an aluminum one you can pick up.

hope that helps.

for 1-C, i meant the rear hubs. I am fully aware of the new front hubs, as i already have those fitted on my SCT. i was just trying to clarify how long a rear link Frank has on the rear.

I tried 2-B on my first outing with the 2.0 front hubs, but it felt too aggressive for my skill level, so i am trying a 1-A front link.
I haven't been out racing in quite a while (about a month and half), so i havent been able to get out and just practice or tune.

Any updates on the Exotec steering conversion? Is it a worthwhile upgrade?

I have been running mine for a few months and it's great. There is a small amount of slop that developed over time, but a little shimming fixed it right up. Nothing even close to the slop that develops in the stock rack.

ESC is on the chassis right in front of the anti-squat pivot block. I cut the "shelf" off of the rear battery tray.

1-C is for the older hubs, it would be 1-B on the 2.0 hubs. The longest possible link.

2 pads in front of the battery with the tray in the standard forward position. The reason I don't list the pads behind if because it will depend on what ESC is used and how it is mounted.

Sorry, I don't have the truck with me, so I won't be able to post any pics at this time.

AHHH see this is why I asked about the sensor wire. I thought you were mounting the ESC behind the servo, like we do with the MM buggy.

I'll clarify the rear camber link on that setup sheet too.

I've noticed a big improvement in rear traction when I moved my shorty pack back. I have the Exotek battery holder mounted in the rear most position, with the shorty up against it with a few foam pieces behind it. If I move my short fully forward like you guys are talking about, my rear gets all loose again. I'm wondering why I'm seeing such different behavior.

Ok I got the 22T arms, bones, and 22B std hexs on last night and it doesn't work. The axle is too long. I went back and double checked the post and it didn't say anything about changing the axle. I put the SCT hex back on and it works but I'm guessing the width is not right now. Was I supposed to grab 22 buggy axles too?

Go with a softer front tire, run full battery pack more fwd, softer front springs. If you need more detailed help you might elaborate more on your setup tires are big

I'm not exactly sure but my guess is you will need the 22t axles???
