The biggest difference I notice with the Bfast kits was the machined diff washers . But the 22 looks to have machined washers in the kit . Also , the Bfast diff and thrust balls last a lot longer and always butter smooth .

Do you need a wrench to get the battery out with this one?

I would give them a call to check. Sometimes they are ahead of the site...it happens.

I just finished wiring up and installing my electronics. It was quite a challenge, but everything is nice and neat now. I will post pics once my body comes in. I did notice that the tranny is super quiet and very free. Good job losi!
Man, talk about taking your time! You've been building this for what, a week or more? I had mine done in one night and was running the next day. I commend you for your patience.

Haha, thanks! I knew I would have to wait for my body to get painted anyways, so I took my time on the build. I only was able to work on for a few hours every other night or so anyways, so it was going to take a while regardless. It also took my a while to find the neatest way to wire it, and set the steering up right. I got a lot of the build done at the track while racing my SC. It was worth it though!

Yeah that's crazy I also built mine in one night wired it next and ran it a little after. I even ran the body clear w the protector on it and put some old stickers on it. I just finished up the body tonight, looks good to me, I'll get pictures up here sometime lol.

I just rebuilt my diff and used new rings/losi carbide balls/stock thrust/AE diffnut/AE black grease for thrust and Losi kit silicone grease(couldn't get AE), broke in with drill and it is butter but aren't they all before you run them?

Can I get a refresher on setting the slipper? I set it loose and kept tightening but it took forever to get it close and my diff still slipped. On outdoor tracks the traction can change so much in a heat or main from start to finish its hard to get it right, especially when you have a jump right after a hairpin turn with to little runup. To loose you don't clear, to tight you spin out and come off wrong.

Is there a super secret formula you pro guys use or is it all in the trigger finger?

I think we've already established I'm impatient. Besides, it's either build it with what I have or nut run this weekend. I am only missing the ceramic thrust balls and AE grease.
