I agree the plastic on the 1.0 was / is tough as nails! I have launched mine higher then houses! Plenty of times, and can't think of anything that was weak, other than the stock shock towers. If my 2.0 turns out to be 2/3rds as strong I will be happy.

Thanks.
Try freeing up the rear a little. I like to run the A hole in the rear hubs. Allows more rotation. If you have a sway bar kit go with a thinner one in the front.

The plastic is pretty good on this truck. I agree the 22 stuff is better but for the weight of this truck the plastics are super tough. Rear hubs have really only been an issue for guys running in cold weather (40F or below about). As a result this was not deemed a must have upgrade and to reduce the cost of the kit for everyone they were left as an option. Are you talking about the servo arm? Depending on how tight you set your servo saver will determine how long that plastic arm will last. Most of use do upgrade to alum arms and run metal gear servo's so we can tighten the servo saver more.

This truck will take a TON of abuse. Can you break it with sufficent effort, yes but these things finish more races the most of the competition.

I had an off power steering problem and found that the steering rod was fouling on the servo. It only needs to be on the inner hole of the servo horn for throw, but it fouls on the servo. I moved it to the outside hole and found a LOT more static steering angle. Perhaps make sure the steering isn't fouling as these cars have a LOT of off power steering.

Hey Guys,

On the Ryan Dunford setup sheet it shows: 2 hole 55 (using 22 pistons). I'm guessing the kit doesn't come with these. Can I buy these somewhere? Or should I just stick with the stock pistons and run the 32.5/30 oil? Indoor Medium size high bite clay track. Thanks.

These are TLR22 pistons.. You can buy the standard 22 pistons, which are 4 hole, however, to make them '2 hole', you must CA glue two holes, diagonally across from each other.

The TLR 22 pistons are p/n "TLR5090" and you can buy them from A Main!

Thank you. Would these pistons work just as well? Amain part# AVD1030-2-1.6-F. They are the Avid 12mm 2 x 1.6mm.

If Ryan Dunford's setup sheet shows "2 hole 55", without any notation regarding drilling, then they would be box-stock #55 pistons, that use 4 x 1.3mm holes, but with 2 holes glued-shut.

If you bought Avid's 2 x 1.6mm pistons, they'd have far less "pack" than the above suggested 2 x 1.3mm (2 hole 55) setup that Ryan Dunford used on that setup.

Answering your question, yes they'd work, but they'd have less pack/compression/expansion properties than the smaller 1.3mm holes.

If you choose not to make the 2 hole pistons stick with 27.5 all around with the stock #3 and #4 pistons. We went up in oil a little for these 2 hole pistons. Both work well. The 2 hole versions just have a little better pack.

I like the 2 hole pistons myself. Unfortunately losi has been dragging their feet in releasing them so people are still using the 55 pistons in the 22 piston pack (tlr5090) and gluing two holes shut. The good news is an Avid representative was on here a couple days ago and said avid will be releasing the two hole pistons with 1.3 mm holes shortly.
