Swiched over from deans to connectors and ive had a losi shorty pack and the connectors feel really tight to remove from the battery. Also i just bought a protek shorty and the size of the holes on the battery are alot bigger than the losi pack to the point that i cant connect it. What do i need to be able to run both of these packs in my car?

The 12 ball diff centers the diff balls on the ring more. The 14 ball diff the balls ride further out on the ring.

I have not tested the 12 ball unit. I am having to good of luck with the 14 to try it. I got 8 full race days out of my stock 22 diff befor it got notchy.

I actully just rebuilt it last night with the B-fast kit and am very impressed. I think with the B-fast kit its going to be darn near bullet proof.

I know people with shumachers and kyosho BB's ca run losi springs, so I think it would be the same the other way around, so you can probably run shumacher or kyosho springs, but they're really expensive and no differant, just stick with the losi's (but I think kyosho has more options, but a 4x the price I wouldn't bother)

I'll be running dirt for the first time in a year with a mid motor car. I've done some mods so its a pretty short wheelbase with more rear weight (fliped the rear arms), should be fun.

When i ran the car mid motor stock on dirt the only thing it did was turn. lol rear traction was almost nonexistant.

Very interested to see how your Mid motor configuration does.

I'm just curious to why people are buying the Losi 22 and then simply selling them off on such turn around. Is it personal perspective, buying it to run a couple of time and then dumping them off or what. I'm just wondering if its worth buting it. I was also looking into the B44 also. any help would be great.

Thanks

In the last three months I have purchased an Associated B44.1, Durango DEX410R, and most recently a Losi 22. Sold off the 44.1 and 410R within a month of purchase. I liked both cars but my 44.1 kept breaking front arms and shock shafts, and parts are next to impossible to get for the 410.

There are many factors involved. I am sure you could say that since there are a lot of 22's for sale, that there must be something wrong, but you also have to consider that maybe 2wd is not popular at some tracks, maybe parts are hard to find, maybe someone wants a 4.1 or SC truck like their friend. Who knows.

I like the 22 and will keep it for now. Who knows, I may eventually sell that too and buy something else, but so far so good.

The most important factors for me are durability, parts, tuning, and support. Losi has all four. The buggy is very tunable, but you have to take the time to set it up to your liking. Maybe some people did not have the patience or skills to dial it in and sold theirs instead.

Where are you seeing all these 22's being unloaded? I may pick up another one for stock class.

Question. Some people run their battery forward for more steering some run theirs back for more traction. I run a saddle pack. The saddle pack end to end is almost the same size as a stick pack. I was thinking instead of placing foam in the back or the front, how about between the saddle packs. That way I am running it back and forward at the same time?

Has this been tried? If not I expect royalties.
