Did Evans use his regular setup for the nationals at NorCal?

As far as the RS it is a great ESC. It is the ESC that I have been using for the last couple years and I am very happy with it. Because of the software and tunability, it is more suited to spec racing. That is what I have been using for the last 2 years, but as I said a couple posts ago, I just put a 7.5 in my 22. I know people claim that the Tekin stuff is not as smooth for low wind mod motors, but mine feels pretty smooth. I guess I would have to try something else back to back to see. The other ESC's I have been using the past couple years have been SpeedPassion. They are really smooth, but I have never tried one in my 22, just my 4wd. What 1.5 degree blocks are you talking about? For the track you posted I would start with the kit setup, or Corey Bernardo's low bite setup of of tlracing.com. If it were me though I would find a different track because a 1/10 scale car is not designed for that type of track.
LOL the track is built for 1/8 scale, but we race ALOT of 1/10 on it and the tracks around here. We had pretty big series race this past weekend and I would say there was about 20-30 13.5 buggies running out there with no problems. It's quite enjoyable seeing these little buggies fly off those big jumps

I plan to run the Georgia Championship Series next season and I'd like to run the 22 in 13.5 buggy. I will definately look at that setup. Anyone use the midmotor setup and like it on a low bite surface?

Try un-screwing your shock eyelets 1 turn on both your front and rear shocks. This will allow more weight to transfer on and off throttle resulting in more off throttle steering, and more on throttle rear bite. Also when you do that make sure to reset your ride height as it will have changed. I never use steering throw as an adjustment. I set it to full, and I turn the transmitter wheel less if I want less steering. The way I see it is there may be some situation that you get into while racing that you need more steering travel than what you have, and it is not like you can stop the car and adjust travel. So have it at full and turn the wheel less.[/QUOTE]

I have them at 2 full turns out. I guess I need to double check my ride height. Thanks.

Default TLR 22 DIFF PROBLEMS

I built a 22 and right outa the box the diff felt crunchy. Now before you ask if i built it correctly, I'll tell you ive been building and running rc for 20 or so years. Has anyone had the same issue and do you have a fix? I went ahead and ran the car on a high bite clay track and after 2 or 3 practice nights the diff is toast. HELP....

I have heard this before, and assume the "box" diff and thrust balls are lesser quality or have imperfections, I bought my car used, and the previous owner said the same. I rebuilt mine upon receiving it with ceramics, and it's buttery smooth..

What does everyone have their push control set at?

I gave it a try with at 90 for longer coasting and I would go to slide into a 180 turn and without even applying any throttle it would accelerate out of the corner . And when you would really whack the throttle it would do bad things to the slipper.

So now I'm back to finding a practical setting and I need suggestions...

Our local TLR driver, is using AE thrust bearings, AE diff screw and nut, and either AE or Losi (not TLR) carbide diff balls, and either AE or Losi diff lubes (not TLR). We are doing this and it is smooooooooooth!

The new GenII diff nuts work great or the alum diff nut holder work great. TLR carbide diff balls are awesome. Agree use Losi clear or AE clear grease. Losi black grease is just as good as AE stuff.

TLR=Losi. The diff balls and lubes would be the same.
