No worse than me using a Reedy ESC in my TLR buggy, got a couple laughs for that one at the track.

I'm building a 3.0 and purchased a set of aluminum rear hubs..does anyone have recommendations as to what camber hole to start with?

In regards to the “optional” rear axle spacer without them I noticed a great amount of play with the axle inside the hub carrier. I thought to myself that this didn’t seem right because on my 2.0 there was no play whatsoever. When I looked back through my 2.0 manual I noticed that it says to put these spacers in automatically. I then put the spacers in and found that it removed the play and made everything like it was on my 2.0.
So short and sweet I guess the question(s) I pose to Mr. Root is: Why aren’t we instructed to put these spacers in off the bat? Why is it an “option”? And what is the benefit of having it either way?
I don’t mean to come on harsh, especially on my first post ever.
Thanks!

Here is my take, I would you think you can have near zero play with or without the spacer. Try pulling the axle towards you (in direction outside of the car) completely as the plastic hex is pressed on.
With the inner spacer installed, the solid pin doesn't seat as far into the plastic hex recess I think.
However without the spacer, the solid pin seats extra further and all the way into the plastic hex recess, as you pull the axle towards you to completely do that. (maybe it possibly wasn't before initally.)
That being said, in either case it is okay to have a touch of very tiny play though in the end, as you don't want anything overly tight though in the end.

Well I got mine on Dec. 2. I have a 22 1.0, 22 2.0 x 3 and now a 22 3.0. I have been impressed with TLR vehicles. Great build just as my 2.0 buggies. Everything went together very well. I live 4 hours away from my track in Vegas. I have a very loamy track in my backyard. I use one of my 22 2.0 mid motor cars to keep my practice up. We'll I tried my 3.0 out for a couple laps and I was very impressed at how well it hooked up. Being the stock setup is more towards a clay style track and not loose cap track. Thank you Frank one of the reasons I am now a loyal TLR fan.

Has anyone else found that the kit yellow rear springs are super soft? I have since changed them out for pinks LF and the car is great. But the difference in stiffness going from yellow to pink is drastic when you squeeze them in your hand but pink is only 1 step stiffer if my chart is correct?

The wheels, are they specific to the 22? And the 3.0 uses 12mm front hexes, but the offset still makes it a 22 specific. Is it safe to assume the other brand wheels won't work on this car?

So though there is play without the spacer, it's nothing to worry about.
I may have it backwards, and someone can correct me.
