Thanks for the advice RE: the pistons, it makes logical sense now it's been explained. I shall probably just leave them standard for now as the tracks I'm running on through the winter are fairly flat and I don't know if I trust myself hacking away at them with a dremel as yet.
As I said in a previous post in response to Delves' setup I have both the 3.5 and 4.5 HRC toe blocks where Chris runs the 4deg. Of the two I have which one would you suggest starting with on the carpet/slippy floor track?
I forgot to mention earlier that my car is fitted with the Cream RC weight that replaces the front wishbone block. Due to this extra weight would you feel it wise for me to keep the motor guard in place as I, same as Frecklychimp am concerned that it may induce too much flex front to back. A friend of mine has been using a side by side saddle mod for his 22 which removes this guard and replaces it with a turnbuckle that stretches from the motor plate to a carbon batter retainer he's made over the lipo's. He's has so much trouble with it that he's gone back to the standard config. I feel the problem has been despite the rigidity the turnbuckle has added the chassis still flexes visibly front to back causing an aggressive weight transfer making the car push horribly on power and turn wildly off power despite what changes he has made.
I've run my 22 as god intended it and like the performance but there's always more you can do......

Hi, it all depends on your driving preferance to be honest. If you like a car that is 'safe' then I would go with the 4.5HRC. The 3.5HRC will pivot harder in the turn which might be good if you have a track with lots of hairpins.
