<div class="MsoNormal">
This week's TLR's blog post about putting the 5.0 steering rack on your 22T 4.0 comes from TLR driver Ean Reilley</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s a very simple modification of the bulkhead as shown in the pictures, which can be easily done with a dremel. Make sure to keep checking the clearance so you don’t remove too much material, which would make the bulkhead weak. Also, when doing this you need to make sure to use the 5.0 Ackerman Plates along with changing out your tunbuckles to 55mm length; same length as the 5.0 rear turnbuckles. The benefit of this modification is how smooth the steering is all the way throughout the corner and the ability to get a little more steering.</div>

These are for the 8X and 8XE. There are a couple reasons we are releasing these. <br />
<br />
One reason is to give you the option of some very good bearings that run true, smooth, and fast. These are high quality bearings that have the best shields in them for the purpose. The inside bearing gets a metal shield and the outer bearings get rubber shields to keep out the dirt. These are easy to tell the difference as one shield is black and the other is orange red. These are oiled bearings. We have numerous cars that have had a single set of these bearings in place for over 6 months now and they are still very smooth.<br />
<br />
The second reason is that we have seen a lot of people use clutch bearings in this pinion position and this is not correct. A clutch bearing has looser tolerances so that when it heats up, it is in tolerance and tight. The pinion will never heat up this much to heat up the bearing and thus when using clutch bell bearings, you are adding unnecessary wear and tear to your ring and pinion.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tlracing.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=TLR347000">TLR347000 HD Pinion Bearings</a> provides 2 of each size so enough to do your entire car.<br />
<br />
Good luck at the races and have fun out there!<br />

The part number is <a href="http://www.tlracing.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=TLR341022">TLR341022</a>. The chassis is 3mm shorter and also moves the weight forward by moving items on the chassis forward. This chassis provides more overall grip, more corner speed, and more steering for an overall faster vehicle. We recommend this for all surfaces and in all conditions.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is easily distinguishable as it is marked with -3mm as shown below.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You will need to modify one of two parts on your vehicle for fitment. You either need to slightly modify your center brace/servo mount or your upper battery box lid. You will see where these two touch and just want to clearance them until they do not.<br />

<br />
This week, I would like to share some insight when it comes to tuning options on the TLR's new 22 5.0 DC ELITE. This guide shows both the included 3.5mm and optional 3mm shock shaft options and what the options do for you. This is a great tuning option for the different tracks we have today and you should get familiar with both options.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9B5vrk5vXrc/XWRxMfhaUPI/AAAAAAAABCQ/4kh_9CgxIPYY8CoGxNSalM2qbgic9YIXwCLcBGAs/s1600/68501865_2568600096505345_1433764932146429952_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="742" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9B5vrk5vXrc/XWRxMfhaUPI/AAAAAAAABCQ/4kh_9CgxIPYY8CoGxNSalM2qbgic9YIXwCLcBGAs/s320/68501865_2568600096505345_1433764932146429952_n.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<br />
Another cool option in the VHA rear hub is something we have been working on for some time. The amount of adjustability the new VHA hub provides you is ideal with the level of racing today. The new axle provides you four pin locations that completely change the way the rear suspension behaves. Check out the guide for all the details.<br />

<br />
*PRO LEVEL READY<br />
Including all of the key option parts that our factory race team uses to win across the world, the 22 5.0 DC ELITE is truly Pro Level Ready from a kit build right out of the box... more so than any 2WD buggy kit ever offered. Parts include Carbon Fiber, Black Anodized Aluminum and Titanium turnbuckles.<br />
<br />
*CARBON FIBER PARTS INCLUDED<br />
The overwhelming popular carbon fiber option and tuning parts for the 22 5.0's have been added into the kit. +2mm front and rear shock towers, electronics mounting plate, and a rear wing washer are now included in the kit!<br />
<br />
*ALUMINUM OPTION PARTS INCLUDED<br />
As the team has found many of the optional aluminum parts for the 22 5.0 to improve maintenance or performance, those are now included in the kit as well. Aluminum options included are the bell cranks, drag link, servo mount, outer front bearing inserts, rear camber block, C and D pivots, and aluminum nuts throughout.<br />
<br />
*ALL NEW REAR HUBS AND INNER REAR PIVOTS<br />
The 22 5.0 DC ELITE includes Inner Rear Pivots with roll center, track width, anti-squat and toe adjustment paired with the Variable Height Axle (VHA) rear hubs which also give more roll center and axle height adjustment. This is the most adjustable rear suspension TLR has ever produced.<br />
<br />
*TITANIUM TURNBUCKLES INCLUDED<br />
Titanium turnbuckles have always been a premium upgrade for race vehicles, and there could not be a proper 22 5.0 DC ELITE kit without them. Included are titanium turnbuckles throughout the buggy to save weight and increase performance.<br />
<br />
*REVAMPED STEERING GEOMETRY<br />
The 22 5.0 is the best driving 2WD Team Losi Racing has ever created, and the biggest improvement comes from the steering geometry. Increasing the length of the steering bell cranks and spindle arms, along with changes to the Ackermann give the 22 5.0 significantly smoother steering, especially off-center and high speed, and increases low-speed steering.<br />
<br />
*SUPER HEAVY DUTY SLIPPER (SHDS)<br />
The slipper is optimized with all new plates, pads, spring, spur gears, and top shaft. The top shaft uses a sturdy M4 lock nut, the slipper pads allow for spur gears sized 69T to 81T, reduced slipper pad area provides a more linear slip through the throttle application, and thicker slipper plate keep consistent pressure across the surface of the pads.<br />
<br />
*G3 12MM BIG BORE SHOCKS<br />
The G3 shocks give the 22 5.0 the handling of the Gen II shocks, but with long-anticipated ease of use improvements. No more e-clips, new shock caps and shock bodies increase the spring collar height by 3mm for lower ride heights, new eyelets and spring cups provide varied off-sets and paired with new eyelets will never pop off with the screw in feature.<br />
<br />
*2.0 MILLED ALUMINUM CHASSIS<br />
Maximizing the flex characteristics for all surfaces, the 2.0mm thick chassis give the right about of flex and rigidity for smooth corning, optimized balance, and bounce-free landings.<br />
<br />
*FULLY UPDATED DIFFERENTIAL<br />
Using all of the revised components from the 22 2.0 ball differential, the 22 5.0 diff will deliver super-smooth, long-lasting performance. Features include revised thrust washers, tungsten carbide diff and thrust balls, a one piece nut, and a self-centering diff gear.<br />
<br />
*22 5.0 BODY<br />
Maintaining the excellent balance, grip, and stability of the 22 4.0 body, with a similar styling, the 22 5.0 body is pulled from 0.8mm PC plate for a lightweight body that still has fantastic durability. As with all TLR bodies, the 5.0 body will be precut in the kit.<br />
<br />
*TLR LOW FRONT WING INCLUDED<br />
With the higher speed, higher grip tracks of today, a front wing will increase steering in high speed turns and on power, while making the steering on entry smoother - the best of all worlds.<br />
<br />
*ALL METRIC HARDWARE<br />
Using all metric hardware make it easy to find replacement screws, nuts and washers, and helps to limit the number to tools required in the toolbox.<br />
<br />
*DIFF HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT<br />
The 22 4.0 included diff height adjustments including 0 and +3.5mm settings. The 22 5.0 DC includes 0mm, +1mm, +1.75mm, +2.5mm, and +3.5mm diff heights to optimize bone plunge for different axle heights, ride heights, and grip levels.<br />
<br />
*FRONT ROLL CENTER ADJUSTMENT<br />
The 22 5.0 includes the standard Low Roll Center (LRC) front pivot with kick shim in the kit and offers the optional High Roll Center (HRC) front pivot separately. A new 1mm thick kick shim is also included. Now, racers can run the Super Low Roll, Low Roll, Medium Roll, or High Roll Centers, or High Roll Center, with a 3mm adjustment window.<br />
<br />
*NEW FRONT CAMBER BLOCK<br />
The new front camber block adds a third camberlink option between the tradition inside and outside holes. The new position provides the best balance of steering and stability in many conditions, and allows the 22 5.0 to be more dialed-in on more different grip levels.<br />
<br />
*NEW BATTERY HOLD DOWN<br />
The 22 5.0 boasts the most versatile and easiest to use battery hold down system. The battery cradles key into the mud guards for five fixed, easy to duplicate, battery positions. The battery is held down with stretchable straps on each end to fit any height shorty battery and any weight plates under it.<br />
<br />
*OPTIMIZED COMPOSITES<br />
The balance and consistency of the 22 5.0 can be tuned using different composite materials in key parts throughout the vehicle. The kit included the parts the race team prefers: Stiffezel front suspension arms, mud guards, and waterfall and soft rear suspension arms.<br />
<br />
*BALLAST TUNING OPTIONS<br />
Optional brass ballast weighs can be mounted under the servo, under the battery, and under the laydown transmission idler. This makes it easy to tune the static weight and weight bias for changing track conditions. When running a higher static weight, the chassis will become more neutral and easier to drive on ultra-high-grip surfaces.<br />
<br />
*TLR 6.5" REAR WING<br />
Pulled from ultra-durable 1.2mm polycarbonate, the TLR 6.5" rear wing isn't new for the 5.0. Instead, this wing has proven itself as the longest lasting and most stable rear wing available for 1/10 2wd buggies over the past few years - and it comes in your kit.<br />
<br />
*BUILT-IN MOTOR FAN MOUNT<br />
The prevalence of spec racing has led to the need for many racers to run motor fans to keep temperatures lower. Rather than an aluminum mount, or double-sided tape, the 22 5.0 includes a molded fan mount secured to the mud guard for easy and dependable fan mounting.<br />
<br />
*LAYDOWN CONFIGURATION<br />
The laydown 3-gear transmission moves the motor forward by 20mm+ to a more centralized location. The benefit is a chassis that drives much flatter and carries more corner speed.JR Mitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04651172019229667312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1331730607878924858.post-71279778244032710492019-07-24T17:09:00.000-07:002019-08-26T17:45:28.912-07:00Horizon Insider Track Day: TLR 8IGHT-XEHello everyone,<br />

<br />
This week, I would like to share my three must-have items for better tire gluing. First up is choosing a good cleaner. Simple green is my cleaner of choice and I also make sure to have a clean microfiber towel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ep7R1LtQXE0/XSaAeg7VyLI/AAAAAAAAA_g/p-icLKCtNTo03hXC3Bu6X8ILWgakzt0hwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7744.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ep7R1LtQXE0/XSaAeg7VyLI/AAAAAAAAA_g/p-icLKCtNTo03hXC3Bu6X8ILWgakzt0hwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7744.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next, be sure to have a good set of tire bands, as this keeps the tire tight against the wheel. Horizon Hobby has a great selection of tire bands <a href="https://www.horizonhobby.com/SearchDisplay?searchTerm=jconcepts+tire+bands&categoryId=&sourceDomain=&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&pageSize=40&beginIndex=0&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&searchTermScope=2&showResultsPage=true&searchSource=Q&sourceDomain=&pageView=" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VX2v-kzfarU/XSaBk99xBnI/AAAAAAAAA_o/M5zz7SF1p3oiK-X7awvSwianGmXHL9NxwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_7742.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VX2v-kzfarU/XSaBk99xBnI/AAAAAAAAA_o/M5zz7SF1p3oiK-X7awvSwianGmXHL9NxwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_7742.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last, but certainly not least is having a fresh bottle of glue. TLR has always and still has one of the best glues on the market. You can find them <a href="https://www.horizonhobby.com/SearchDisplay?searchTerm=TLR+glue&categoryId=&sourceDomain=&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&pageSize=40&beginIndex=0&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&searchTermScope=2&showResultsPage=true&searchSource=Q&sourceDomain=&pageView=" target="_blank">HERE</a>. Friendly tip: be sure not to leave your glue in a hot environment. I keep new unused bottles of glue in the refrigerator and I keep them there until I'm ready to use them. </div>

These gaskets seal to chassis to gear box area so you no longer need to use black grease and make it so no dust can enter your drive train. Each package of TLR241061 comes with 2 sets of front and rear gaskets.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.tlracing.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=TLR241061">http://www.tlracing.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=TLR241061</a><br />

<br />
The first thing you will want to do is remove the center section of the gasket as shown below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j5On02n0l38/XSN3EK2hDMI/AAAAAAAAEzE/mDTyJ24TWZACOTpxuMGU0xf_q0Kr6grrwCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG_5368.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1035" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j5On02n0l38/XSN3EK2hDMI/AAAAAAAAEzE/mDTyJ24TWZACOTpxuMGU0xf_q0Kr6grrwCLcBGAs/s320/IMG_5368.JPG" width="206" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then you will peel off the backing and place them into the recessed area of your chassis in the front and rear gearbox section as shown below:</div>

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
This week, I would like to share another short video blog. I give you an interview with track owner, Ronnie Setser, a couple of laps from here at SS Raceway of my TLR 22 5.0, and a little update about me. Ronnie let us know what's coming new to SS raceway, and how he's gotten to where he is today. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
We had some great success at this years nationals in buggy. We had Dakotah TQ the event and Tyler Jones, Tanner Denney, Mason Fuller, Tom Rinderknecht, and Aaron Kothman make the Semis.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have posted both setups from our A main drivers from the 2019 Nationals in Texas at Thornhill in the setups section on the 8ight-X product page. I am also placing the direct links here for easy browsing. Keep in mind these are pretty specific to that surface type and grip type. It is pretty rare when we run clay compound tires or tires that work well on clay on any 8th scale vehicles but that is what most used.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Congratulations to Dakotah and Tyler for making the show!</div>

Hello everyone,</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This week I would like to share a short video I did over the weekend while club racing my 8IGHT-X E at Lake Park in Tamp,a FL. I talk to 2/3 's of the Engstrom family about what keeps them coming back to R/C racing. I also talk shop and a little vintage with Jake Engstorm about his XXCR that he's racing this club race day. </div>
