If you check the blog there are pictures of the RCRD shims. Also it was posted yesterday that they are back in stock and no they are not just washers. I believe they are laser cut nylon and front is one piece and rear is one piece.

That's a video of "2WD Stock SCT" at my local track Muddpumpers Mountain Raceway. I'm the blue/green XXX-SCT with the pot leaf on the roof lol.

The track is very hard packed with a lot of dust on top. Track is never watered due to the owner having well water at his house.
I would start with Losi 7202 Silver fronts and Jconcepts Flip-Outs.

I did the washer thing but finally had the time to make my own out of 1mm G10 material (thank you Troy McKune). took about 15 minutes with a dremel

I'd start with JC Groovy fronts and Double Dee rears both in Green compound.

Thanks for the input. I was considering ProLine Bowties and these have a similar thread pattern so it looks like I was on the right track.

Next question:
I bought my 22 as a unused Roller and it came with Calibers and Barcodes. Which would you recommend I run this Saturday since I won't be able to order new tires in time?

Run the Calibers, but as Frank suggested, try Double Dees green compound. You should also try Panther Raptors in a super soft compound.
If you choose to go with Pro Lines, Holeshots look like they would work better for that track than Bowties, but I could be wrong.

Well I'm researching 2wd buggies and now I'm going to ask you guys:
"What makes the 22 better than the B4.1 or 22?"

And also the car is pretty durable correct? I didn't see a single thing besides the bellcrank that needs replacing. Did I miss something?

The 22 is 100% new tech, no reused parts from before.
Handling is amazing.
It's also nearly unbreakable.
No bellcrank on this buggy.
What makes it better?
That's one of those questions where you ask 10 guys and get 10 different answers but I personally like finishing races and practice runs as well as the handling is amazing.
You will not be disappointed in any way.

You've got it right. I went with the 22 because its supposed to be the most forgiving and also very durable which is good since its my first 2WD buggy.

+1. There's alittle slop on the associated cars then the losi! But the associated is a good car. I prefered a 22 over the b4.1.

Just bought a 22 to compare to my b4.1 world's. Hopefully I end up with the same opinion. And yes the Associated has plenty of slop.


I posted it a few pages ago, and got no response: Any way to get b4.1 or kyosho front wheels to mount onto the 22?

No reason to D, the 1251 is faster....the 1256 is slower but with more torque...for buggy, do not need a HUGE amount of torque.
