Trever Adamo's 22T Setup

Hey Guys,

I was able to race my 22T at a Nationals Series Race at West Coast R/C Raceway (WCRC) last weekend for the first time in a while.  During practice, team driver Trever Adamo was really happy with his 22Tand let me try it out for a few laps.  All I can say is WOW!  It had good steering and solid rear grip, but most of all it was stable and easy to drive.  I quickly returned to the pits, put the entire setup on my truck and it was just as good as his. 

We ended up having a great day racing back and forth, Trever took the TQ and I was able to take the win in the main.  Best of all, we both had a blast driving our 22T's all day. 

Check out the setup on TLRacing.com at the link below:

Race on!

22 vs. 22T Spindles

I have had a few questions regarding the 22 vs. 22T Spindles, and I just wanted to set everything straight.


The 22 and 22T spindles have different bearing spacing that will not allow the 22 axle to fit in the 22T spindle. The 22T front wheel will hit the 22 spindle arm, ball stud, and steering ball cup, so the 22T wheel will not fit on the 22 spindle. I attached photos, with the part number as a caption.




22 Spindles:
Stock - TLR1061 - Plastic/composite molded spindles have 2mm of trail

Option 1 - TLR1062 - Plastic/composite molded spindles have 0mm of trail, otherwise referred to as "inline".

Option 2 - TLR1073 - Aluminum CNC Machined spindles with 2mm of trail.

Option 3 - TLR1075 - Aluminum CNC Machined spindles with 4mm of trail.

22T Spindles:

Option 1 - TLR1109 - Aluminum CNC Machined molded spindles have 0mm of trail, otherwise referred to as "inline".

I hope that clears things up a bit!
