What will be a good starting setup for the Spektrum race coming up?

[/QUOTE] 1.7 is for Trever's truck setup. We are running 1.6mm pistons quite a bit on the 22 (buggy) and sometimes on the 22SCT, so we did the post about 1.6mm pistons, as they seem to be used the most. The smaller hole with pack more, and thus feel a like more progressive. I'd start with the Trever Adamo setup, and if you want to try 1.6's, you'll need to go down 5 or 7.5wt to accomodate the change. You don't change pistons to alter static dampening (around ride height), you usually change pistons to alter dynamic dampening (more extreme movements, ie landing jumps) so you want the compensate the piston change by changing oil too to keep the static dampening the same, or very close to it.[/QUOTE]



As always, Great info/explanation! Thanks Frank!

I would start with the Trever Adamo Setup.

With Trevors setup he has TLR1072 front kick block, is it 25* or will I need the 25* kick shim also?

You need the kick shim also.

Might be a stupid question but, what * is tlr2072? It doesn't say on the info.

So I will need tlr1049 also? To get the 25* of kick plus the 5* of caster gives me 30* total?

TLR1072 is the Aluminum front pivot block replacement for the stock which was included with the 22 buggy. It is the replacement of TLR1051, which is stock plastic parts in the 22 buggy. It looks like the pivot, TLR1072, maintains the natural angle of the chassis; it does not increase or decrease the angle. The kick shim is what will change the angle. The stock plastic parts, TLR1051, give the option of a 20* and 25* kick plate. The 25* kick plate seems as if it is only a spacer and does not add or reducing the angle compared to the pivot block. Based on this I believe the natural angle of the chassis is 25*. The 20* kick plate has a visible difference front to back causing the change in angle.

Now not having taken my 22T apart to caliper the 30* stock pivot lock I can only say the above would be true for the 22. I wouldn't think the 22T chassis would be different as many parts are interchangeable.

Hope this helps.

Start with Ryan Dunford's set up:

At the end of last season, I was struggling with the 22T, but recently went with Dunford's setup and it has been very good! Again, Good luck to you!

Somewhere in this thread, there is something mentioned about adding some spacers under the transmission; at least I think that's where they were added. What exactly is this mod and what does it help with?

Thanks in advance.
