UPDATED 8/9/13

With the announcement of the 22 2.0 many people are excited to upgrade their existing 22 platform vehicles including our 22sct's Here is a list to cross reference which 2.0 parts will also work on our trucks


Brass Transmission Shims and Brass Weight made by mbtoolmaker35




If this is your first time reading this thread, please keep this first post as a reference, it will be updated constantly to reflect current information available about everything TLR 22SCT. Please watch the Frank Root TLR 22SCT Interview/overview/walk-through video as it will answer most of the general questions people have about this truck such as Wheel Offsets etc. It is located in the bottom of this post in the "Videos" section of this post.

I have been a decent contributor in the SCTE thread, so I figured why not give it a shot and be the steward of the 22SCT thread. In this thread, I will keep updated with all the pertinent information that pertains to the FACTORY TLR 22SCT. I will post the PDF's of set-up sheets and keep the aftermarket upgrades and the factory upgrades listed as well. I'll also do my best to list all of the "must haves", "fixes" and "options" and links to good write ups of things that may be useful to us. These will all be updated in this 1st post of the 1st page (what you're reading right now ), much like the SCTE thread is. But my intent is to keep it updated. SaladFork did an awesome job with that thread before he disappeared, so I'd like to thank him for the inspiration and model.

This is a quote from another member in another thread, whether it's true or not, I don't know. But, the Hot Rod Hobbies Shootout is a VERY popular race and it's close enough to TLR home headquarters that it just might be true Let's hope so!
Carranza, you called it! ^^^ interweb cred to you lol *This guy is a freaking genius!!!!

Edit as of 7/18/12: Frank Root, thank you for posting on this page! It's finally official!!!! Thanks to TLR for listening to all of us fellow racers and giving us the truck we've been begging for. It looks phenomenal and like this is going to be one heck of a truck!!! Really looks like they swung for the fences and hit a homerun with this one! Good Luck to the entire TLR team this weekend at the HRH Shootout! So without further ado, http://www.tlracing.com/Products/Def...4#prodFeatures

FAQ
-Which optional parts should I use? Frank Root wrote this blog that covers it quite well.
http://losiracing.blogspot.com/2012/...questions.html

-Will my Losi SCTE Wheels Fit? Yes, the TLR 22SCT uses the same zero offsetting as the wheels on the SCTE making them both interchangeable.

-Will the 22SCT Wheels fit my XXX-SCT? Not if your XXX-SCT is stock. Some people have done a conversion that allows them to use SCTE wheels on their XXX-SCT, if you did that conversion, then yes they will fit.

-How do the new Dish Wheel Inserts attach to the wheels? They are pressed into place on the face of the wheel, then secured via the wheel nut when installed on the vehicle. A visual can be seen at approx. the 15 minute mark in the Frank Root interview video linked below. the Dish inserts were designed for use with the new 6 spoke 22SCt wheel and will not fit the SCTE or XXX-SCT wheels properly, however may fit the SCTE and XXX-sct wheels with slight modification.

-Will the 22SCT Body Fit my SCTE so I can switch it between my trucks? The body itself fits perfectly, however the body mounting holes are in a different Location. So to share one body between them will require 2 sets of body mounting holes.

-Will my aluminum 22T upgrades fit the 22SCT? The 22SCT shares many parts with the 22T, however some parts have been redesigned for use on the 22SCT such as the front Camber Block, it has a provision for use of a swaybar whereas the 22T does not. So check for interchangeability to be sure.

-Can I run the 22SCT with a Shorty pack? Yes, you can run a shorty pack in either rear or mid motor configurations.

-Can I run the 22SCT as a Mid-Motor truck with the stock body? Yes, unlike the 22 Buggy and 22T, you will NOT need a different body to run your 22SCT mid-motor.

-Can I run the 22SCT with a Gear Diff? Yes, you will need to use the Gear Diff for the 22 RTR, Part # LOSA2954

Build Tips, Tricks, Fixes and Related Information:
-Mounting Servos, some servos need to be spaced by using no shims, .5mm, 1mm shims etc.:
JR Z9100S, no shims
Savox SC1258TG, no shims

-Shock Piston Mod:
Some people have started gluing closed 2 of the 4 holes in the stock Shock Pistons and enlarging the remaining two holes between 1.5-1.7mm. A couple of RCTech members discovered that the Associated 12mm shock pistons are a direct fit to the TLR 22 Shocks and already have only 2 holes and are already bored out to the most popular sizes that people are using! As an added benefit, the flashing is on the top of the piston making sure that the roundness of the piston is perfect. The correct part # is ASC91308


-Diff Problems? Here's a fix.
Many people have started using the Associated Diff Rebuild Kit when rebuilding their diffs. This has been used by many people in both the 22 and the 22T for quite some time now. The stock Thrust washers breaking are the cause of most people's problems and The Diff Bolts have been known to break when tightened too much. The Associated parts are much stronger and solve this problem. When switching to the Associated parts, use the Diff Bolt, Nut, Spring and Thrust Washers. The diff balls are optional as most still prefer the TLR Tungsten Diff Balls. Give the Rings to a friend who's running an AE car since they'll be useless to you. Part # ASC7677


-TLR 22SCT Steering Ballcup Modification w/pictures
http://losiracing.blogspot.com/2012/...-ball-cup.html
(some people have been doing the above mod and still popping ball cups, RCT member easye has come up with something that seems to be working for him, here is his post.)
Here is an article that shows the chamfer done to the steering rack. TLR is using the same approach as the "easye" mod and will soon be releasing new ball cups as well. http://losiracing.blogspot.com/2012/...ification.html

-Captured Ball Ends
An Alternative to the above "easye" mod, would be to use captured ball ends:
RCTech member TheBackmarker (Dave Webb, owner of B & B Hobbies) has used Traxxas Part # TRA3643. They are pre-assembled, you'll only need four M3 x 12mm button head screws and be done. According to Dave, there is absolutely no binding at all and makes for a perfect fix to keeping the steering tie-rods from popping off.


I used the blue Traxxas links on mine because I just wanted a little bling. Here are the pix of mine done. Note the first pic is before I cut off the plastic nipple on the steering rack and replaced it with a locknut as depicted in the third pic.


RCT Member Losi 1972 did Captured ends using Hot Bodies Parts, here is the link to his post http://www.rctech.net/forum/11152413-post1880.html He used the following parts:
Hot Bodies Parts
HB67206
HBC8100
2 Losi SCTE Links from 4x4
4 Losi screws to go through the balls

-Kingpin Mod using Part #TLR1043:
I didn't want to lose those screws and weird washers that hold the caster blocks to the front A-arms so I replaced them with the same Threaded King Pins that go vertically thru the caster block and spindle. They are a little long, but because the large sct wheel sizes, there's plenty of room., You'll need to use a 2mm washer on each side of the arm to take up the slack. Once you do so, the fit is PERFECT and you'll never have to worry about losing that screw and washer again. As an added bonus, they are much more free and have less friction than the standard screws that they replace. Here is a pic showing the mod completed.


-Adjusting Kick-up:
http://losiracing.blogspot.com/2011/...lr-22-22t.html

-Gearing Recommendations by TLR (these are good starting points, however gearing needs may differ based on surface or size of particular tracks, all gears are 48 Pitch):

Also to help figure out similar gearing options, RCT member BigBangPro posted this chart


When using Spur gears from different manufacturers, they may not be available in the tooth count supplied by TLR. If this is the case, you will need to figure out the proper Final Drive Ratio that you will need to use. Member F__Me explains how to figure out which gearing you will need to reach the FDR's of the above Gearing Recommendations By TLR diagram.
-Most TLR Team drivers (and many club racers) are running the Aluminum 22 Buggy Front Pivot Part # TLR1072 with the Brass front 25 deg shim Part # TLR1049 rather than the 30 deg 22T/SCT front Pivot Part # TLR1105. This allows it to be more adjustable and so you can use less than 30 deg kick up if you so choose. They've been combining this combo with the 5 degree caster blocks Part # TLR1058 (plastic, included with original kit) or Part # TLR 1046 (aluminum) to achieve the 30 deg kick up anyway for most of the current setup sheets, but this may change in the future and this allows you to play with kick up angles of either less or more than 30 deg. This is a good article to help you understand kick-up angles http://losiracing.blogspot.com/2011/...lr-22-22t.html


-Some ESC's or Servo's may not reach your rx depending on brand and mounting place and may require a servo extension like this one http://www.tlracing.com/Products/Def...rodID=SPMA3000


-Both Front and Rear wheels use same offset as the Losi SCTE and TLR SCTE 2.0 making Both stock and Aftermarket SCTE wheels directly compatible with the TLR 22SCT.

-Springs included w/Kit: Front Blue, Rear Yellow

-Spur included w/Kit 48P: 78T (suggested for stock 17.5 NT motor) & 86T (suggested for mod and classes allowing timing)

-If building Mid-motor configuration and you want to use full size batteries, use the 2nd hole in the optional Aluminum Battery Tray Part# TLR4150 *Note, by using this configuration, depending on electronics choices, some electronics may need to be relocated due to space confinements.


-Raising the transmission is very popular in both the 22 Buggy and the 22T. After speaking with several TLR team drivers, they're also doing this on the 22SCT, here's a good explanation of how and why people are doing this mod http://losiracing.blogspot.com/2012/...d-22t.html?m=1 RCRD also makes ready made shims that make this a MUCH easier task and the fit is perfect. I've done it to both my 22 Buggy as well as my 22SCT Conversion, the shims are available in the following link and you'd be supporting a fellow RCTech member [http://www.facebook.com/pages/RC-Rac...793467?fref=ts
*Note, when raising transmission using transmission shims by either RCRD or Exotech, DO NOT glue shims directly to Diff case Glue them to the Camber Block and the Toe Block as seen in this picture below otherwise maintenance to the diff may be difficult.


22SCT wheel hex widths:
Rear Std = 10.00mm
Rear +.75 = 10.75mm
Rear +1.5 = 11.50mm
Front = 6.75mm

Spring Rates: (both 22SCT/Stadium Truck and Buggy are listed as some setups will call for one or the other)

Thank You to RCTech member XXXDad (Glenn Carlson) for making this Spring Rate Diagram. Includes, Stadium Truck, SCT and Buggy springs as well as the new Low Frequency Springs.

*Thank you Gary for the step by step build of this truck with pictures, there was a lot of great information in there that will be helpful, especially for those who have never built a vehicle in the 22 Family. For anyone who builds this truck whether or not they have experience with the 22 Family, I suggest reading over Gary's step by step build.

I can't wait, need another car to go with my SCTE. Hacker07 said there was going to be some new products for the Hotrod Hobbies Shoot Out hoping it is the 22 SCT but could be a new 4wd. What speedo and turn motor would you run in the 22 SCT? I was thinking a Tekin RS or RS pro with a 10 or 8 turn motor, but not sure.

Wondering how the heavier 22 platform will run in 17.5 class as that's what a lot of placed run here for SC.

I bet its not going to be an sct truck. Its going to be a new 4x4 buggy 10th scale.

IF my statement is wrong, I will be replacing this post with a picture when I get my kit!

I've been very happy with my Hobbywing stuff so far, so I'm gonna get a HW ESC again to keep it budget friendly. Motorwise, I'm going to probably run a 7.5 as I think the heavier truck will benefit from it over the other trucks that are using mostly 8.5's at my local tracks. Once in a while someone throws a 6.5 in their trucks and it's obvious usually that they're overpowered. With the 22SCT, I'm thinking the extra weight might like the fewer turn motor and allow you to run less timing so you can keep both motor and esc temps cooler while being able to gear up to achieve the same performance.
I'm running 17.5NT on my RCRD 22SCT conversion. I didn't get to run it this weekend like I had hoped. It's built though, so next week I'm definitely gonna run it. Hopefully the added weight isn't too much and doesn't effect it too much. I'll weigh it at the track next weekend to see what it comes out at.
Only time will tell. But we'll know for sure in the very near future since it's only a couple weeks away

What speedo and turn motor would you run in the 22 SCT?

Sweet...I've had my XXX-SCT for 2 weeks and raced it once.

Oh well had to know it was coming (and I figured it was by Christmas). I have a birthday at the end of the summer so bring it on I suppose.

Really depends on your needs. I'm interested in seeing what others are going to run. I'm sure the same esc/motor combos that work in other 2wd SC trucks will be great in this one as well. So I expect to see a lot of Tekin, LRP and Orion ESC's with a lot of Trinity, Reedy Sonic and LRP motors. But for the budget minded or bashers, we'll probably see some people running the tried and true Castle Sidewinder and SCPro systems. Then there'll be people like me who go with budget minded HW esc, but known motors. I'm very happy with my HW esc in my SCTE and my Reedy Sonic in my 22 Buggy, so I might go with that combo. But I might just end up getting a Tekin RS Pro esc like I'm running in that car too. They pair together very well. As for motor turns, depends on what class you want to race, stock or Mod etc. See what's popular at your local track and has the best turnout. Stock is probably better for most people who are somewhat new to racing because it really teaches you how to drive and not rely on the added power as a crutch. But choose the class that's popular and most appealing to you. If your track barely ever has a stock SC class but they've routinely got full Mod classes, well I'd go that route then, same thing if it's vice versa. I am curious to see what others are planning on running in their TLR 22SCT's.
I believe that's called Murphy's Law Don't worry, the XXX-SCT is a good truck that has a lot of good setups available. So until the 22SCT comes out, drive the wheels off your XXX-SCT and look forward to your birthday later in the summer, hopefully it'll come just in time for the release of the truck to the public!

well whenever they release it i just hope you can get it as a kit, not just an rtr. i get annoyed that the 8ight e and scte arent kits. Plua as an rtr well prob have to put alot more $$$ into tuning kits. sell one with all te good stuff in it like the old Graphite plus and BK2 days

Eh...not affecting me much really. I just pulled the trigger on a used XXX-SCT to go with my first one, this one will be for my son to race. Still I like the concept of mid motor, though maybe it's better to get the X Factory kit and convert his RC10T4.1...or the Durango...so many choices.

Way to quote me and put me on the spot!! LOL

I only hope its true.

I will def be getting two of these if the price is right. Most likely one mod and one stock.
