I would put the 2mm spacers in the front shocks.

I've had my 22 since they came out and have enjoyed it so much. Last time out I broke a king pin in the spindle so I decided to start freshening up the buggy. I was amazed at how tight the original pieces still were! I don't get to race near as much as I like but my AE vehicles have worn much faster. I decided not to replace my castor blocks because there was absolutely no slop! Front arms are still tight too! I did put in new kingpins and axles but even those were not showing much wear. I sure wish all my vehicles were this durable! My 22 is my favorite car to race. I do enjoy my Tekno SCT as well but if I had to choose, the 22 would be in the stable. Really considering selling my RT5 and SC10 and going with the complete 22 line. Not a fan of the Losi SCTE though so the Tekno will be staying

Yes, the 4mm trailing spindles are marked with "L4" & "R4".

thank you Mike. I noticed they have a little notch on them it seems to prevent full steering lock. So if I was looking for more steering would I wanna run the ones that do not have that little notch on them?

Are you using a new screw/nut assembly? Did you compress the diff spring during the build? I am using all TLR parts and have not had any issues.

I'm not exactly sure what "notch" you are referring too. The spindles have a rectangle boss that stops against the castor block at full steering lock. This makes sure the spindle stops at the correct angle, and this angle is the same for all of the spindles.

The track we run on is like concrete. Slicks and tire sauce are the ticket.

Qualified 2nd .8 seconds behind tq. Got hacked in the main stripped a spur two minutes in. Good day though other than that.

So was first time out with the buggy last night it was a pretty good and a lot more smooth then the the B4.2.. After the races a was able to drive a few other peoples 22 and it was way better then me. I was going to copy the setup but kind hard after the races were over. So my questions is because I just did the stock setup, which is a good setup for most tracks?

The two lock tracks i race at are low-medium bite, then the other is medium-high bite.
