Roll pins are pain. Careful ingetting it started and once it is in you can use some needle nose offset to drive it though.

Thanks Casper, will try that next time. I must admit that I might have said some not too nice words when I found out how hard they resist slipping int the hole...

We have all been there. This is one of the main reasons I like the clamping hexes is they come with a solid pin that slides in place!

also if you look at the pin close sometimes one side is tapered just a little more to help it get started. Sometimes this helps as well.

The aluminum spacer that goes on between the bearing and hex will not fit. If i put the spacer on the pin will not go through the axle. This was only an issue with one side of the buggy. Anyone else run into this?
I just bought a kit and had this problem too. One of the axles was manufactured too short. I had to buy a new pair of axles.

I would try and force it through but I cant even see the hole. I may have to get different axles like Henry#40. Thanks for the help. Casper the pliers would have saved a lot of frustration on the other side.

Thanks, that puts clamped hexes on top of my upgrade list, if I can't go all in with a 2.0
Buggy is in hibernation right now waiting for the winter season, but when I get nearer will certainly check those pins.

This was the route I ended up taking. My LHS also gave me a new set of axles for the trouble.

Does anyone know if a Radiopost Blue servo will fit the 22?

I'm posting this also in the AE B4.2 thread since I'm still on the fence of my next vehicle.

Has anyone driven a TLR 22 for a while, gone to a AE 4.#, and came back to a TLR 22? If so what were the reasons you switched back? Does anyone drive both and like one VS the other for certain reasons? I plan on running stock buggy for the foreseeable future. My skill level is intermediate.

*Edit* Parts support for AE and Losi are equally good at my LHS.

Does anyone have mid motor parts for the 22 they would like to sell?

Default Bigger body

Does anyone know what body offers the most room inside the car? I'm running mid motor and I hate it when my "binds" touches with the components in the car.

In all my years in RC, I've never heard the term "binds" used in that manner.

Still not sure what you mean.
Are you talking about how you have the motor wires routed?
My suggestion would be to obtain a more compact ESC, and save that larger sized one for a car with more room. Or figure out a cleaner way to wire it.

Sorry I meant when my car body rubs or touches "binds" with the components on the chassis ie. Speedo, wires ect. I would love to throw money down on a smaller speedo but money is tight. I did some research and it looks like the pro-line bulldog would work best.
