As long as the rack is centered when your servo is center, you are good.
Adjust left and right throw with EPA

Default Steering Balance

Try adjusting the steering balance. decrease one side so you can at least have an even percentage or increase the short side.

Which horn did you use for your Savox?

Talking Mid or Rear mount?

Which of the 22's is best for Aussie tracks??? I am looking to get back into racing after a 15 year break and am interested in the 22.

For those who are running them now: What are they like give me a rating out of 5 for.

Quality
Drivability
Performance

And also I am looking to do most of my racing in Vic so should I be looking at the Mid mount or the Rear mount motor??

Cheers

Quick question as I read comments on peoples diffs loosening up. The instructions are a bit vague regarding which way the diff goes in the transmission. The diff adjustment screw should be on the right side (pinion / passenger side) correct ? Most other vehicles seem to be this way, thus I've built mine this way. Haven't run it yet. Thanks !

The instructions are not vague...Page 30 on both mid/rear motor configs you will see how to insert your diff. If it was supposed to be the diff nut showing you'd see a hex nut in that outdrive, but instead you see the adjustment screw cover.

5 really I think it's that good, you would want to build it rear motor as that is what would suit 95%+ of Aussie tracks.

Use sub trim first (in the menu). The endpoints will move with sub trim, unlike regular trim. I use the servo arm position that leans the arm slightly towards the car center, to partially compensate for the servo end of the link being above the rack. Use a combination of link length and sub trim to get centered. Then use travel/EPA to set endpoints. Regular trim for ongoing centering.

I bought my 22 yesterday and finished building it last night . I have to say out of the many , many Losi kits I have built over the years this one has the best fit and finish .Broke-in the diff with the Bfast method and is butter smooth . Not sure why some are having issues with the diff . Maybe they were used to the XXX diff and with the 22 you don`t turn the diff screw as many turns as the XXX diff ?

I can`t wait to get this onto the track !
