One last question, gear diff vs ball diff? I see in the setup and all the dirt based setups only use ball diffs (even on high grip tracks), why is that? how often do you rebuild them?
Thanks again,
Leonard.

A ball diff in stock will last months.

Anyway, the 8ight-X has it, and as fuzzy as the spy shot was, it LOOKS like the 22X-4 has it, With his increased design involvement now official, I have faith that Jr. will get it done.

Imagine running multiple classes where you have less time to work on every vehicle. Not only is it a time saver, but it encourages you to change that diff oil, or maybe even change the diff height, if you are running the ball diff. If it doesn’t work, it’s definitely a lot of time saved setting it back... TL;DR versión, it encourages more experimentation with the buggy.

It didnt help I was sitting right next to a speaker that was turned up more than need be and if the announcer wasnt loud enough, there was a loud beep every time a car passed the loop.. I litarally finished the buggy outside on the hard pickup bed cover.. I guess I'm a gluten for punishment, all my 1/10 offroad are TLR and I replaced the 4.0 with the 5.0..lol

Just my two cents on the current diff case, it keeps people from buying the car, so it should be addressed with the 22X or however the next 2WD will be called. Also, a layback/LD gearbox option IMHO is mandatory today. One of the reasons we race on astroturf in Europe is the fact that you can run in the rain or shortly afterwards, and if you ever slipped on wet astro, you can imagine that a full laydown car is not always the best option. For people running on low to medium grip dirt, it is a no-brainer anyway.

Well, despite my wishlist concerns (as also noted in the 22X “Next Gen” 2WD wishlist thread), this happened:
So, who’s gonna be the first one to welcome me to the family?
Anyway, My concerns about addressing the gearbox possibilities shared here so far (easy diff access, possibly the return of a layback option for weight distribution), lay in your hands, TLR... I made a leap of faith, and with Gil Jr. back in a more significant role (at least significant enough to formally announce it), I have faith that you guys will strive to make the 5.0 even better.

If there had been an AC version of the Elite before I went for the CAL3, I might have been able to welcome you, but as it is, I'll have to wait for the new wheeler to return to TLR. It's been almost two years since my last Losi, and the 22T 4.0 and I had a rough start and we split after I could not get new outdrives for the planetary gear diff for a while. As it seems, support issues in Germany have been resolved and I am looking forward to the 22X-4. Chances are high I'll write a built report/review for petitrc.
But back to topic; how do you guys like the front axle bearing inserts? I did not drive the truck long enough to love or hate them. Should they be included in the neXt generation 22 or not? Do you use them as an adjustment option at all or would you prefer a fixed setting instead?
