TLR 22T Thread
#5581
I started with the Ryan Dunford high bite clay setup. Dropped the front inner camber links 2mm and changed the oils to ae 30wt and run either black or green ae rear springs depending on traction. And as far as tires its gold barcodes or typos all around. I never have a problem with push even running an Orion vts2 8.5. Also change the steering rack to the 2.0 version with no bumpsteer. And no toe in. 1° camber all around. We run a high traction clay and this setup kills it.

When you are breaking in new tires for the 22t especially having the aka red inserts use a compound like paragon to soften the tire. I go so far as to put the foams under the tires of my real truck and run them over a few time to soften them. With the foams and tire broken in I can throw my truck into corners at high speed and it grabs nicely.

wow, you break in your foams like that! I have never thought of breaking those in, but the red aka are all I use. Would going back to the green springs in front help? I switched them out for blue and will not be able to hit the clay for a while.

Works like a dream and the foams are even better the second round of tires.I tried the softer foams but like the consistency of the aka ones.

Haven't tried the caster blocks but the steering rack is an excellent addition if you wish to eliminate bump steer. I tried the exotek rack but kept blowing servo horns and adding an aluminum one resulted in a ruined ti servo.

Hey Frank,
I dont know if this has been asked a bunch of times, but is it possible to just order the body mounts that come kited with the front shock tower? TLR1102, Im going to end up with a 1000 front shock towers that I dont need eventually. Or make those body mounts out of aluminum for strength?
