22 mid motor setup
 

Hi just got a new 22 and built it mid motor cuz of the high bit that my local track has. And I'm having a really hard time finding a good base line setup to start at. The track I run at is high bit clay (wet) and as the night goes on it starts washboarding. Car works really well right now but very twitchy. So if you guys could help me out on a solid setup from tires to shock piston and everything embetween I would appricate it. Thanks.

Have a look here matey:

There are a few clay/dirt set ups for mid motor configuration.

Anytime I click on them from that site it comes up blank. That's why I was asking on here. Iv looked everywhere.

Make shour you are running the same tyres as most the peaple at your track

Equally you could post your current set-up and perhaps we could suggest some changes for you to try.
