New TLR front 1/10th scale buggy springs

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share that TLR has released a new line of front 1/10th springs sold individually. These springs are all stiffer then our standard front Silver spring that come with all 22 lines of vehicles. From testing, we’ve found that having this wider range of springs is needed for all the different surface situations faced in racing today from 1/10th clay to 1/10th turf or carpet. These springs are instock and ready for purchase today!

Gear diff tip

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share what I do with my TLR 22 and 22-4 2.0 gear diff outdrives. I’ve seen that some people have had outdrive set screws coming loose, which can damage the outdrive pin by rounding off the flat spot used for the set screws. Here’s what I do to make sure this doesn’t happen; I use red lock tight gel. I use this on the set screws, and I also add a small amount to the outdrive pin before installing the outdrive. (see pic) Be sure to not over do this on the drive pin as a little bit of lock tight goes a long way.

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.
