On the B6.2 the longer chassis +3mm comes on the carpet car, it was to try and make the car a little slower to react and therefore easier to drive on very high grip carpet. I assume TLR are thinking the same.
One trade off is it doesn't rotate as quick so in the uk we use the short chassis for outside astro and onside carpet.

I would love to know what you make of the front end mod, with the gigantic offset. I bet that has been an interesting one if a new car is in the works..

TLR232090 for the 22 5.0 AC was discontinued. The only composite internal gears are TLR332084 listed for the 22X-4 diff. Are these compatible with the G2 Diff TLR232101?

Quick question for my Losi drivers.
I have a Losi 5.0 and Xb2. Losi rear wheels don't work on the Xb2 but the X-ray rear wheels work on the Losi. Off set same will I be narrow or wider by using X-ray rear wheels on a Losi

So my local track runs a 17.5 sportsman class with 5 minute heats on a high grip clay surface. What is the optimum battery size for the 22 5.0 in these situations?

I run the same class at Hobby Action in Az and run Trinity White Carbon 4300s, it works well.

Keep in mind, the HobbyWing Handout Spec Motors we run in 17.5 Sportsman at HobbyAction, are VERY undergeared, and are therefore really easy on battery life. We have even had 10 minutes mains on a couple of occasions with that class, simply because we could.

If he is running a standard 540 size 17.5 motor, the 4300's are OK for a 5 minute main. But anything over 5 minutes, and you will start to feel the sag. Much easier to stick with a 5500 or above, just to stay in the sweet spot of the batteries discharge curve, if you are running an open 17.5 motor with open gearing.

Ive been running ProTech 5000mha NIHV batteries charged to 8.4v (this is a local club requirement) in my car, but the new layout has a couple of big jumps that I can only clear about 4 or 5 times before the voltage lag gets me. I'm thinking about running my 6400mha batteries to reduce the voltage lag, but wonder if the extra weight is worth it.

I don’t have 5.0…what’s new on this world champ proto?

TurnNBurn

Don’t know that you can call it a “prototype, but here’s what I see:

- A motor plate that is milled differently - the light color caught my eye immediately during the interview
- Rear wing mount is mounted only in the 2 upper points - not sure if that’s an Avid part?
- As Tater mentioned, he’s using the rear 22X-4 arms, with the usual cut to give clearance.
- He also said he was using the 69mm X-bones
- Looks like the standard TLR shocks, but with Avid caps (top and bottom), not to mention the standoffs.
- The clutch plate is also milled differently from the production part.
- Although you can’t really see with the wheels, I wouldn’t doubt if he’s running the front offset mods a lot of drivers do as well.
- He might also be using one of the optional length chassis?
-Looks like a lot of titanium hardware, along with anodized camber links he also mentioned in the interview.

If anything else catches my eye, I’ll edit this post, but it’s definitely not a “brand new” buggy. They said as much throughout the week.

We maybe got an answer on this one....

Still no easy access diff,that’s the biggest complaint

Kaspurr84

Im hoping this was just an research and test exercise, redesigning the diff housing doesn't necessarily correlate with changes needed to make a competitive chassis. Thats a Solid Works project after the fact. TLR would have to be just clueless at this point to release a buggy in 2024 without quick diff access.

I wonder if the fantom motor and batteries are not roar approved? As to why he’s not running all fantom products. I know I heard this was the case with Trinity Phend’s equipment… seems like it shouldn’t really matter with mod motors

They are ROAR approved just not IFMAR approved.
