HRC 4.0 block
3 degree squat
White rear springs 54 piston, 25 oil
Green front springs 55 piston, 20 oil

I know some people were struggling with their 22's and many I watched looked twitchy. Mine felt really good and I'll be basing any future changes around this setup.
Hi Andy, glad you got your 22 handling, was that Losi oil?

I weighted mine up for the first time yesterday, I already had 20g on the rear bumper and about 40g around the stubby LiPo. I added 84g under the LiPo, it made it feel more planted and easier to attack the corners. I might try more as it's still less than the team setups.

I also found the 3 degrees anti-squat helped with low speed traction on the slippy sections.

Another thing I tried later in the day was the short wheel base. I thought it might give more rear traction, I didn't notice more traction so much, but it did make the car more nimble in all the switch backs in yesterdays track, with no noticeable loss of stability.
