Since you know what the track is like there, what would you recommend as tire selections and in what compound for this truck?

Won't have to worry about that. The truck will ship in August, and the parts come in at the same time, that's a policy or ours. Part usually all go out within a week of the vehicle.

Thanks Scott! The truck does come with 78T and 86T spurs. The 78T is for NT 17.5 racing, and the 86 for boosted and mod racing. We are really looking to take care of the consumer from all angles.

No bearings on the steering rack, that's a typo and will be fixed shortly.

Yes it will, all you need is the aluminum battery brace with the optional mounting holes, and you'll be all set. You will take away a bit of the electronics mounting space though.

I might suggest not listening to stranger birdies, little or otherwise...

The truck somes with Blue front and Yellow rear springs.

Quality, simply and pure. You really get what you pay for, and the fit and finish of this kit is second to none. We've really pulled out all the stops, added parts that were previously option parts like tungsten carbide diff and thrust balls, and bleeder shock caps and included them. We have upgraded the bearings, slipper plates, diff out drives just to name a few. All these upgrade make a better performing and more durable/reliable truck. These things are not free though, and with all that great stuff, the price is a little higher. We could ship it for $100 less, but it wouldn't be a truck we'd be proud of, and not one you would be looking forward to like this



One other note, this truck comes with 2 sets of wheels and NO tires. Not sure if/where that was listed, but no tires are included.

Just a reminder to everyone, please refer back to the first post on the first page periodically as I'm keeping it updated to reflect the most up to date information from what's in the kit, to upgrades to build tips etc. I've already listed many things that have been discussed within this thread and listed some optional parts as well. Keep the info flowing guys!

Thanks Frank for the info about the springs and spur gears! It's been noted in the first post.

If anyone thinks something should be "Front Page" listed material, please feel free to PM me with the info and part numbers if applicable. Thanks, this thread is for everyone and we'll all benefit if we all participate in helping make it informative with easy to find info all in one place!

No doubt this is a great and fast + durable truck, Ive owned a 22 buggy and it is the most durable buggy I know.
I have faith in the 22 platform.

but every manufacturer says the same about their products.
Like what you say about finnish is second to none, heavy duty parts,upgraded parts.

losi says it about their new truck
AE says it about their new truck
Durango says it about their new truck
and others tell customers the same thing

as a manufacturer you always want to pruduce something your proud of, right?

Looks like I will be getting the first 22sct that comes to my LHS!

From what I'm seeing, the level of detail, performance parts selection. quality of materials and design...

I think the price being asked is more than fair.

I have two of each of the currently released 22 platform vehicles (22, 22T). I consider them, in terms of durability, an 1/8 scale platform.

Thankfully the choice is yours whether to buy or not. No one is forcing you to buy the 22SCT. There are plenty of cheaper trucks out there.

Just a reminder for everyone. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion whether you agree or disagree. So far everything has been civil and lets continue to have civil and productive discussions around the truck.

Is there going to be a conv for the 22t to convert it to a 22sct?

I am 99.9% sure Frank said no to this earlier in the thread.

Just to clear up some confusion there are no tires included with the 22SCT but there are 2 complete sets of wheels.

One thing I think people are glossing over too is this is the first of the 22-series of vehicles that comes setup with the bleeder caps for emulsion-style shocks and not bladder shocks out-of-the-box. These were an option part previously that, again, adds value to the truck.

I really like the looks of this kit. I own both the 22 and 22t and to say the least they are the best and most competitive kits in their class. If that is the case then i am sure that the 22SC will be the best.

The 22 and 22t do not come with upgrades and extras like the 22SC so i am psyched about that.

To all of the people complaining about the price... uhm lets see!

SC10 FT - $250, comes with crappay boday so you will most likely have to upgrade that ($30) and paint it or get it custom painted (about $40)
does not come with hexes which most racers stress about and buy the hexes for it ($10). The blue anodized parts are just anodized blue... woohoo putting the aluminum in a machine for 2 seconds to make it purttyyy. Every racer will buy at some point new wheels and tires and for a set that is $60 and some buy more if you are competitive.
you are well past the price of a 22sc for just that there. Not including most parts break on the sc10 unlike the 22 line of kits

Lets see...
22SC - $360, comes with great body ($30) (just need paint), 2 sets of wheels, dishes, and beads ($30), bleeder aluminum shock caps ($30), aluminum chassis that wont snap ($50), extra springs ($15), and more. It also wont break like the other SC kits out there.
So if the 22sc were $260 like the sc10 without these upgrades then you would find yourself at the price of the kit knocked down a few dollars to make it a fair price. TLR is treating us with this kit on the price.
With all these upgrades included you wont find yourself spending gas money and time to go buy parts from a hobby shop or track and one track or shop may not even have all the upgrades.

So overal this will be the best 2WD SC out on the market for a while just by looking at it. This kit screams the word COMPETITIVE!

Yeah my bad on the tires, I mis-read that..but on the rims..I don't know how your tracks are on the rim style but where I'm at it's beadlock style rims only..so the "extra" dish style rims do me no good..and on the tires..why no tires? the one on the truck in the photos look pretty good....and on the FT SC10 it comes with a pretty good set of tires stock..so..what the heck Frank..I'm buying one but once I get it I'm out another $70 bucks for tires....so it's going to bring the total closer to $480..

the dishes aren't full on rims. the dishes go on the rims separately. without the dishes there are two sets of 6 spoke style wheels.

every track requires a different type of tire. my stock xxx-sct tires are sitting here brand new. They don't work on my track. i'm glad i'll be able to get the tires that work on my track.
