TLR 22T4.0 front body clips

Hello everyone,

Today I would like to pass on an added bit of security for your TLR 22T 4.0. After your front body clips are fairly used they could come off in a hard crash. TLR Team driver Dalton Myers shows us on his TLR 22T 4.0 how to combat this by pushing the body clip pass it’s standard position and using the main loop as the new stop for the body clips.

16mm EVO Shock Springs for 8IGHT 4.0

Howdy Gents!

     Today we released new springs for the 8IGHT 4.0 buggies that we are referring to as EVO springs.  This is a full line of springs that are closer together in rate for finer tuning as well as a constant coil diameter and longer in length.  Between the constant coil diameter and the frequency we have chosen for these, these handle much better in all conditions we have found, especially when it comes to bumps and landing.  They are part numbers TLR344016 through TLR344028.

     There are a couple of changes needed in order to run these springs on your TLR 8IGHT vehicles.  You will need to use the spring cups that come with the shock ends in LOSA5435 that were for the older 1.0 and 2.0 vehicles.

     You will also need to flip your shock collars over so the lip is on the top.

Here are a couple shots of the entire line.  You will notice the coloring to be a bit different so it is easy to tell that you are running these.

Thank you for reading and good luck out there with your racing!

TLR 22T 4.0 setup from Horizon Midwest Classic

Hello everyone,

I’m finally getting caught up from last weekend’s trip to the Midwest classic at Leisure Hours Raceway. Good weekend overall with Dakotah Phend showcasing his talents in the 2wd and 4wd mod classes as well as other TLR drivers doing the same in the 17.5 buggy, 13.5 4wd, 4x4 SCT, and Stadium Truck classes. Along with the great racing action, the TLR/Horizon Hobby crew hosted a Q&A session and raised money for the Hobbies for Good. This week, I would like to share my TLR 22T 4.0 setup from this event.

TLR 8IGHT E 4.0 setup from Fall Brawl

Hello everyone,

This past weekend, I attended the 2017 Fall Brawl in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and I had a great result in both ebuggy and nitro buggy classes. The track was super fun and it had super high grip levels at times. Today, I’m off to Leisure Hours Raceway for this year’s horizon classic. Upon my return, I will have my nitro setup posted from the Fall Brawl, but in the meantime here is my winning TLR 8IGHT E 4.0 setup.

New for the 22 Series - Aluminum Trail Inserts

Good Day Racers!

We've been working hard to improve the durability of the trail inserts for the newest 22 spindles.  These spindles have been included on the 22 4.0, 22SCT 3.0, 22T 3.0, 22T 4.0 and the 22 4.0 SR, and have adjustable trail (2mm-4mm) and different ackermann inserts for adjustable ackermann feel as well.  

On occassion, we've seen the outer bearings pop through the inner lip of outside trail insert, particularly on impacts that hit the outside of the axle directly.  We have since released improved inserts and spindles, both of which help increase the durability of the molded parts - those are available now.  We also worked on Aluminum versions of the trail inserts in parallel to give the ultimate option for durability.

Available now are:

- TLR334048, Spindle Insert Set, Aluminum, 3mm Trail: All 22

- TLR334049, Spindle Insert Set, Aluminum, 2/4mm Trail: All 22

Each of these includes two machined aluminum trail inserts per package, as the aluminum inserts are only needed for the outer bearings on the left and right spindles.  We recommend continuing to use the molded composite inserts for the inner bearings on each spindle.

8IGHT Air filter tip

Hello everyone,

This week as I get ready for the trip to the 2017 Fall Brawl at Badlands RC Supercross in Myrtle Beach, SC, I wanted to give everyone a little tip for installing a new air filter (LOSA9151) on any TLR 8IGHT Nitro vehicles. Apply a small amount of black grease (TLR77000) to the front and rear of your air filter to maximize the filtered air going into your engine. If you’re at the Fall Brawl December 1st – 3rd stop by the JConcepts tent and say HI.
