Had another great race night with my 22SCT! This truck is DIALED. Love it. Ran an 8.5 boosted and had no trouble putting the power down. It feels great to just squeeze the trigger and the truck just squirts foward on rails. Goes where it's pointed.
I run the stock caster blocks. Works well.
I dropped in:
- alum camber blocks front and rear
- TI turnbuckles
- alum front pivot
- TI kingpin front
- alum hexes + .75 rear
- alum servo arm

Ok so I went to bed last night with Bag D unopened at 11:30! Yes I finally got the truck!
I am using the Spektrum 6040 Servo and I used the recommended shims 2mm + .5 mm but I thought I remember someone suggesting different shimming?
Also I am building it by the stock set up as this truck was tested heavily at my home track (Pegasus Raceway) but I sure do seem to have extra plastic washers and some screws. (screws I would think most are for the rear bumper) Anyone else? as I don't see it mentioned much.
All in all for my first kit its fun as hell but I will be investing in a Small electric drill!!! Damn my fingers hurt!!!!
Frank, I am gonna use my Losi 13.5 RTR motor from my 22 buggy in this truck till i upgrade for now. Gearing it 78/21 is whats suggested would you recommend something different? or should i just start there? I am gonna run boosted with my Tekin RS.
Thanks!

The rack does have some slop, but really, it isn't much slop at the wheels, and much less than a bell crank car.

Ran my truck for the first time last night and im pleased .... truck handles very well other then few things i saw it doing 1) going into turns and coming out the truck rolls a ton and i lose traction .. i would assume the sway bars will fix this .. but i diid try stiffer spring i went from stock yellow to pink and raised the ride height alittle . im running travis brock set up on the tlr web site , im almost sure 27.5 all the way around is too light for tight indoor track with med to high grip.. 2) it jumps good but front end flys alittle high .. i know on my xxx sct i had to add about 3/4 oz weight to the front do i need to do that with this one too ? .... if someone else can tell me something to try i am open ears because i know this trk will be dialed when i get it to work 100 % the way i want it to thanks all in advance Will G

Hi all, The car's been available here in Belgium last Wednesday only, but after a quick build I managed to race it on Sunday. Day went great with TQ & Win, no turnbuckle popping off (without mod), and a correct basis setup for mid-motor. Still a lot to do on it but good start 
I had 2 issues during the day, first one is that I was way under minimal weigth (by 100 grams) and had to add 21 grams behind the servo, the TLR weigth of 50 gr in the rear, plus the rear mud flaps. It's probably because I'm running shorties and a slim servo, but it's good to be able to put the weigth where you want. Second is that the rear suspension was getting very hard when the shock was completely compressed. They have been built without any rebound so it's not oil pressure. When pressing them by hand individually it seemed ok, but pushing the car down, not. I'll take a deeper look into this one to see if anything binds. Great car! 
Cheers

Would adding spacers on both sides equally until there's no binding anymore be a valid solution?

I guess if your gonna run it on the street you can mount where ever you want. If you race or jump it you may run into problems, I noticed the mid setup likes to nose down over jumps. I have most of my weight towards the back of the truck and I have to stay on the throttle to level it out.
This is my first Losi/22 and I am pretty certain I have a steering issue. Can anybody tell me about any issues with the rack binding up? I am running a XP 1313 servo, thought I had the right spacer in but now I am not sure. I can't see any place where it might be hitting or binding. Someone mentioned going to the aluminum rack. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ng-Rack-TLR-22.

Ran mine for the first time last Sunday. Going to run it again tomorrow. its been a long time since I raced offroad. I really liked the mid motor set up, just need a little more rear traction. Could be tires, could be trigger finger. others at the track really liked it. more practice will tell the story
