Losi TLR 22 help
Hi guys
I have my TLR for indoor carpet racing and have had no problems with over heating.
I have a speed passion 6.5 motor and a speed passion v2 pro controller.
I race indoors with a 21 pinion. On my track.
Well the prob is the other day i took it over my field with outdoor grass tyres and kept the set up the same as above. And with in 2 min my motor was fried and the conectors on the motor, were unsoldered. The motor has had it. Please advice what happed, the speed controller was set on all standard settings.
Thanks guys

There are no issues with running the Rs or RS Pro in mod. I have been racing/testing with Savox servos which are some of the "offenders" on purpose. I used an RS with a 9.5 Redline and a Savox LP servo with no glitching issues or cogging. I use Spektrum radio systems exclusively as well.
Now if you do experience cogging issues simply use a good servo from the start. Airtronics, JR, Hitec and many others work just fine without issues or the needs to add a cap to the radio system.

[QUOTE=ifuonlyknew;9355617]You know that you are wasting your time with the shock pump if you are running emulsion style shocks. The pump is designed to get the air out of the oil, just to put air back in the oil. I use a shock pump, but build my shocks with bladders. I built my kit at a big race and Matt Chambers was there. I handed him my shocks and he said they were some of the best feeling 22 shocks that he had felt.
Its actually quite the opposite, i'm saving time using the shock pump. If you only knew how nice my shocks come out

im running a 23/76 with a 7.5, it gets kinda hot after a race, so i would say you're gearing isn't bad, maybe the extra drag of the grass was too much of a strain on the motor

Like I said, those are my guesses anyway.

I race on asphalt and I burn through soft compound/firm insert front tires. After a 15min main the treads look like they have about 40% life left. I even have a complete bald spot about the size of a quarter. Other than my driving style (pretty heavy with the on power steering) what can I change to prolong the life of my front tires?
Mid motor, shorty lipo
27.5 shock weight all around
White springs in rear
Orange springs in front
3.5 LRC toe block
Rear shocks laid down all the way
Front shocks use bottom outside holes
0 camber all around
Every thing else stock

I have to agree, I haven't seen an aftermarket body for this car that even came close to replacing the original one.
This one is really nice and clean.
I also saw their under trays which are also very nice for $10 on ebay.
Look forward to seeing the wings too, looks like they are gonna do well with their products.

22 On Asphalt
You know that you are wasting your time with the shock pump if you are running emulsion style shocks. The pump is designed to get the air out of the oil, just to put air back in the oil. I use a shock pump, but build my shocks with bladders. I built my kit at a big race and Matt Chambers was there.

Why why why why why why are you running a 22 on asphalt? That question out of the way, have you tried slicks? Or a very hard compound treaded tire like Losi silver or JC White. The harder compound will help the tread last longer. If you go to slicks (smart idea) I would run the softest compound to make up for the lack of tread. Red Losi, Green JC, and if you are a ninja (although if you're running a 22 on asphalt I seriously doubt you are), take some M4 Pro-line 4wd fronts and cut them and re-glue them so they are as wide as a 2wd front. Although a wider front tire like a 4wd front, run as a slick might work just a bit better. I just have to ask again. Why are you running a 22 on asphalt? I feel sorry for your car. If there are any jumps your chassis has to look like a cheese grater.

Captain Know It All strikes again! They're conversation had nothing to do with you but of course you had to tell them they are mistaken because YOU have never seen parking lot off road races so they must not have existed anywhere in the country... EVER.

Question for you "shocker"... if you flip a car upside-down onto it's lid over and over and over... and end up bending a shock post... what would you say it is, faulty/soft shock posts, or an issue with driving?
Waiting for your answer.
