TLR 22-4 2.0 Race Kit Thread!

Frank and the rest of the TLR team,
All I've got to say is, THANK YOU! This car is amazing. I built mine, raced it for the first time on Saturday and it was just in domination mode. In qualifying I was able to post my first 30 lap run at the track and my 22-4 2.0 came home in P1 on its maiden voyage into racing. Box setup, box fluids, 13.5 D4, this car is an awesome improvement to the already awesome 22-4 1.0. I can't wait to dive deeper into tuning options and different setups.
I did run into one problem when I was building the car. The gears inside the diff (rear) didn't seat all the way when I was tightening the screws on the case...the screws felt like they were tightened. On the day I stopped by the track to shake the car down, the drive train really started to bind after a few laps (was free before I put the car down). Because the gears didn't seat all the way, it allowed the diff case screws to stick out about one millimeter. They shredded the screw side's belt tensioner, both belt covers (where the grooves are for the tensioners), and the screws were caked with plastic. Dumb mistake on my part, but after picking up replacement parts, the drivetrain is as free as it should.
Again, thanks to Frank and all involved from TLR on making the 22-4 2.0!

Is it normal to have a good amount of back and fourth play in the inner hinge pins on the rear suspension arms. The instruction don't show any washers needing to be installed...the play seems excessive.
Thanks
Thanks

it looks to be 22 3.0 manual

Ok thanks for that info, also what things could I change or adjust to get more on power steering or just more steering in general, with out sacrificing to much rear stability? I tried 30 diff fluid up front and did not really like that...so what other things could I try?
Thanks
Thanks

May need a few per side but this would probably work. Not sure if the 10mm is too big on the OD but I doubt it.
found a few of these on Amain that would be good for the rear arm shimming

Thanks Casper - I did a poor search for "3.5mm shim" and did not get half those results.
What body are most of you guys running for indoor? The JC Silencer seems popular, any reason for it other than it is different from the TLR cab forward body? Any noticeable handling characteristics?
