I went to the track yesterday to finish putting my car together and finally run some packs through it. All I can say is WOW! I love everything about this car. Hats off to Losi and there engineering team. You did a great job on every point of this car. I don't have to many hop up parts on car. The ones that I do have are the +.75 hubs and the 3 degree toe block. Right now, my car is pretty dialed at my track. This is the first time I have been really excited about a car in a really long time. Thank you to Team Losi.

Has anyone found a solid pin replacement for the rear axle rolled pins?
I like to go through my car after each race night, as rear hub bearings on these cars can take a beating. Pressed in roll pins make this pretty time consuming.
The plastic hexes snap on the pin well enough not to be a concern and if you go the aluminum clamping hex route, you're even better off.

I ran into that same issue and I am running these pins now. I have been running them for about a month and they are perfect. Just snug enough to fit, but they can be removed easily. Celt I love your avitar BTW. That is exactly how most of the people on this forum/thread make me feel. I need to remember that not everyone on here has 20+ years experience, and that is why they ask such dumb questions.

Man is the 22 sensitive to ride height! I forgot to check mine this week and I was running too many classes to keep up with everything between me and my son. Before the main I checked it and it had risen about 2mm from the last time out. I reset it at 23mm front and back. AMAZING difference. It really planted the car better and kept it from rolling so I was able to maintain more speed through corners. Unfortunately, some poor driving of myself and others kept me out of the hunt in the main. I had the lead in my sights after the first two laps and all heck broke out, but the car was great! I need to practice!

I put the Dustin Evans setup on my 22 and I was having difficulties getting the car to drive flat through the chicane section on my track. The weight seemed to transfer back and forth too much. It also seemed to lean too much at times and unload while making a tight corner while accelerating. I tried alot of changes, but everything seemed to hurt other handling characteristics that I did not like.
I finally fabricated a 1.2mm sway bar for the back of the of the car and ran the the Dustin Evens set up with 27.5 weight oil all the way around. The sway bar was a huge improvement and even eliminated a bit of the on power push that I was feeling on an indoor track with pretty good traction.
It looks like the car was designed to accept a rear sway bar, so is there a sway bar kit available and has the team done any testing with one?

Funny, I've been meaning to ask the very same question since I built my 22. I haven't seen where any Team drivers have mentioned using one or that one will be available as a hop-up. I would imagine one will be in the future due to the sway bar mounts in the rear arms.
Any pics of your custom set-up?

Hello all,
I have a Novak Kinetic and wondering the best way to position it in a rear motor set up. Any pics would me great.
Please note, I am running the latest Kinetic with the small cap on small leads.
Thanks

Hi All,
I've got some problem with my Savox servos. (any types/model)
The servo horns included in the 22 kit didn't fit. Do you have the same experience, please?
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
