22 4.0 raised rear shock tower 1mm

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share a little insight/details from the latest TLR 22 4.0 posted by Frank and Chad (Setup can be found here). In this setup, Frank adds in the notes in the lower right corner to raise rear shock tower 1mm. I just added 4x 1mm axle washers over the aluminum posts on the transmission case, and then replaced the tower (see pic). Here’s an explanation on what this does and what other things you can do along with this change (Give the car 1mm more rear up travel, and also add 2mm external limiters in the front to decrease the front up travel). Basically, the car is rolling to the ‘stops’ sometimes, and the front/rear roll was not balanced causing the car to roll over the front more (especially in sweepers and high grip). Evening out that roll helps to keep the car from flipping and gives it a better balance through those turns.

22T 4.0 setup from Gspeed Raceway and their Walking Dead Race

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share my TLR 22T 4.0 setup that I’ve been practicing/racing over the last couple of weeks. I posted on the #22empire on Facebook to share your setup and I used a lot of input from there to come up with this one I have here (thanks everyone on #22empire for your support!). I used this setup and raced this past weekend at Gspeed raceway and I brought home the TQ and the win at their first annual Walking Dead Race. GSHOBBY/Gspeed raceway is located in Barling, Arkansas with a fully stocked hobby shop and an awesome racing facility. I can’t wait to race there again.

Results for end of September and beginning of October

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share some results from the past two weekends at some great events. First up we had the TLR cup west at Tacoma RC raceway in Tacoma, WA. We saw Dakotah Phend take the victory in the 2wd mod and 4wd mod classes along with Luke Unis winning the 17.5 buggy class and Douglas Hobbs in the Pro4 mod SCT class. Second up, we had the JConcepts INS8 at RC Excitement in Fitchburg, MA, where we saw Taddie Anderson take the win in the stock buggy class along with Caleb Jennings with the win in the 13.5 stadium truck class. Awesome events and awesome job by everyone the last two weekends. Keep up the good work and race on! Photo credit to JConcepts for the INS photos.

JR Mitch RC’s 22 4.0 project stock build

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share my project stock build, where I turn my spare 22 4.0 into a stock racer. I started this project back on August 20th and I work on it each week for a couple of hours at a time. I finished up a week ago, starting from a bare chassis and then going all the way to racing it at my home track (Newred Hobbies in Ocala, FL.). I used products from TLR, Spektrum, JConcepts, and Tekin to complete this project and you can view each post with some added helpful content on my FaceBook page JR Mitch RC. Enjoy and thanks for following!
