I use these bullet connectors and have had zero issues with them.

Running the 3.5 Lrc, have the 3.5 hrc and a 4 here to use.

I decreased the drag break to 10% and that helped a little. I also moved the camber link to 1B and it helped a little but it still feels a little unsteady.
When traction gets low, the car really likes less anti-squat, it helps quite a bit with side bite. Try 2 degrees to start with. I've even gone to 1 degree with success when necessary. Also, if you're running an 82 spur go to 78 or 76.

Guys i have a question.

I bought a 22 off of someone that had Losi ties and i have some toe blocks that are marked with the deg on the left side and just a T on the right side.

How can i determine if these are LRC or HRC blocks???

I believe you are referring to the pivot insert, the ones you are talking about are for use with mid motor and are used to maintain the same tranny height when changing anti squat. They can be used with either HRC or LRC. The anti squat shim is different between the two.

Just picked up a new kit and I'm nit sure what to do about the servo. I have a hitec 965 lying around that I can install right now but I really want a low profile servo to keep things looking clean. I'm not going to be running mid motor so space isn't a huge issue I guess I just like things looking good. Just wondering what the general consensus is.

Build it and race it!!! Servo should be fine. Low profile servo really only needed if you are running mid motor.

Use the servo you have until you get the one you want. It is fairly easy to get to the servo to do maintenance or replace it. I have the Savox 1251 in mine and I love how much room it leaves, but it is not necessary in rear motor.

Here is what I am talking about. Can someone please educate me on what these are the ones with the T marking on them.

Well from that pic it looks like the 4.5 "T" block is shorter than the other 4.5 block. So unless they were testing a narrower toe block setup for the buggy (which would require a shorter front block to retain the same amount of toe out of a shorter rear block), I almost guarantee the T refers to truck. What I am wondering is why they would go to a more narrow pivot system for the truck? Thanks for the evidence of the forth coming 22T. Don't bother taking the pic down either as I have already saved a copy of it.

I think the pic is a lil deceiving. Here is a pic of the two blocks together.

Im just curious what they are.

I know this sounds a little funny but...

I might be one of the few people running a full sized 2S battery, sometimes one of my 6000mah25c Dynamites. Primarily I'm running them because a) I already own them, and b) I'm really more focused on 1/8th nitro (I got the 22 for the occasional club race and just practice to hone my skills).

I was on the track with another guy with a 22 who was complaining about his rear end being loose (it was a little dry), with bald Hot Bodies Beams and the 6000mah battery as far forward as it would go (pad behind the battery) I had very balanced grip and the rear didn't try and come around at all really. When the track was wet it gripped just crazy good (this is with a rear motor).

So for me, I like how the big battery feels all the way forward. I can't say whether or not I'd like the 3800mah small lipo better since I don't have one (and probably won't buy one; I already own 6 2S packs, 4 Dynamite 6000's, 2 Reedy 5000's), but I do like the way the bigger battery feels as far forward as it can go.

Just thought I'd share that.

Both being 4.5 degree, have you measured them both, are the widths the same? It looks like they are.
If so, then are the heights different, where the block rests on the chassis?

The HRC blocks are made to sit 1mm higher than the LRC blocks so the bases should be different if that is what they are meant to be.

Very strange that they clearly mark the LRC and the HRC on the blocks that I have seen and purchased.
To mark a T on yours is interesting, to say the least.
