That's awesome! I was just having a conversation at the track this weekend about doing just that. But I couldn't remember what those aluminum inserts were for xxx4 I believe. Nicely done

Should the steering rack move pretty freely? I was starting to put my kit together and it seems really tight... fine to sand it down so its smooth or do I have a bad part somewhere?

On the Evans setup it says "Shock Limiters: None. Unscrewed shock end 2 full turns."

Is that unscrewing that actual bottom cap or the eyelet? And what performance change will this cause?

You unscrew the eyelet 2 turns, it gives the car more downtravel

Just installed a TQ 150mm sensor wire on my rear motor 22. Fits just about perfect, though a 140mm might be a bit neater.

I built my 22 last night and would like to start off by saying that it was a very nice build with NO issues, I have ran Losi's for several years and built several so it was like coming home again. But I would like to say that I sure did miss the "Tips and Tuning" saction that was allways in the back of the manual.

Ream just a little material from the ball cup holes with a body reamer. I clamp the middle of the turnbuckle with vise-grips, start the ball cup on by hand, then grab the ball cup with needle-nose pliers and spin away. Makes quick easy work of turnbuckle assembly.
