Car is great. I have not done a dang thing to it to lighten it up either. If I stick with 13.5 might put her on a little diet but ran top 3 at Surf City with the car and have had great club race results with it against some stiff competition running it stock so just having fun with the car in the class.
I was just ribbing Eddie (he's a good guy) but glad you took the advice and switched over. The 22-4 has been a great car from the get go and the 2.0 just built on that. I have fun driving the car and have made very few adjustments to it and it drives like a dream. Need to toss in my 6.5 though and do some mod runs with it but 13.5 has been a blast.
I run my car with a 13.5 and love it. Casper made a comment to my buddy [on the drivers stand] @ a JBRL about how good the 22-4 2.0 is and how my buddy should get one. Unfortunately, my friend is Sponsored by Kyosho and could only share that recommendation with me. I'm glad he did. Although my friend and his ZX6 ended up #1 in the JBRL series this year he loves the 22-4 2.0....he just can't run one. I have not had a single issue yet with mine after 3 weeks of racing. I'm not super fast or aggressive but I do crash like everybody else and, knock on wood, nothing has broken. I don't have any upgrades installed on the car yet. Just like Frank root has said numerous times the book set up is excellent. We're working on a second car now for our winter wet series in a month. We'll see how the 22-4 2.0 does where my XRay use to excel. So far the TLR has not disappointed.

Hi Gents,
I m wondering if anyone experienced issues with the pulley with premature usure ?
Also does it require a long shake down in order to be perfectly set?
I read that many people upgrade the rear springs with the Kyosho ones or Avid ?
Last question would be what is the best gear to use with a 6.5 ?
Thanks,

Pulleys last a long time. Set to the kit specifications for tension and you should be good.
After a run or two car is ready to rock. Sets the bone to outdrive bind which is typical for any car and your good to go.
Setups are up to you. I am running it with box stock springs right now and love the car. You driving preference and track conditions will determine if you need or want to change the setup.

That would be a big heavy part. If you make the pivot out of aluminium, whatever is next inline will break. The force has to go somewhere. The current plastic front pivot is strong enough. For everyone that is breaking front pivots man you must be having some bad crashes. That's not what the car was designed for.

1. The front pivot doesn't break easily, or unwarranted. It takes a big hit to break one.
2. It would be a VERY expensive part to make, from a huge piece of aluminum and a ton of machining time.
3. With an aluminum pivot, the arms, pin strap and pivot are all stronger, some might start to break chassis... which is an entirely different story... one nobody wants to tell...lol

This car has been the best 1/10 ive driven. Im runni g pretty close to box setup, only minor changes. The harder i drive it, the faster it wants to go. It begs to be driven strapped. Its like the force, just let go and trust the car.I simply cant say enough, Its friggin awesome, makes me look good.
13.5 is pretty good, but 8.5 is more fun, and just barely faster. No temp issues or breakage issues. Only thing i have broken is the servo linkage ball end.

So if your car is diving in too hard, and hooked exiting, you would thicken the front diff oil? And if your car is entering perfect, but over rotating on exit, you would thicken the rear diff oil?

sway bar mounts, stuff moves pretty fast in the setup world so maybe i am behind.
