If you are talking about the big hole and small hole don't worry about it. There is plenty of clearance on both bearings so by no means should you take your diff apart for that but if you pay attention you will notice it and I just wanted to point out why.

It only matters if the diff screw is tight on the bore which in the case of the AE and the TLR screws it really does not matter which washer goes on first.

As for settings. No those should be the same as the friction is all in the main gears. The small thrust bearing should have no effect on the diff settings so set it as you always would.

Casp,

THanks man. I took apart already. It was right (i had 50% chance).

Ill give feed back after this weekend. Ive only raced my Losi 6 races and rebuilt the diff 3 times. Hopefully I can get more mileage out your thrust bearing.

Not sure if I can post this here? But i'm going to anyway. I'm opening a new track in San Luis Obispo. We are about a week away from being completed. San Luis Obispo is on the CA coast about 10 min. north of Pismo Beach. Look us up on facebook "Boneyard Raceway" We are 1/10 and 1/8 friendly, and the track is about 600' long. So if you feel like getting out of the heat this summer and breathing some cool fresh air, pay us a visit. BTW I have a 22sct so this post is legal.

Part of the reason that the pros are so fast is (what some people think) the inordinate amount of maintenance they perform on their cars, which can even include rebuilding the diff every race.

Hi guys, I'm new to the 22SCT, coming from the SC10, at our National champs last week I won a 22sct in the big raffle, sold the SC10 and have a Tekin Gen2 10.5, RS esc and new savax servo on the way, wanted one of these trucks so was stoked to win it, looking forward to running it.

I would not say rebuilding the diff ever race but yes for large events the top pro's will make sure there cars are top notch. A good diff build should last many runs if everything is setup right but I will agree the pro's will rebuild there diffs at a higher freq then the average racer. They spend a lot more time on there shocks then the typical racers as well.

Is anyone running their 22sct on a dirt oval? I am curious as to what your set up is.

Shock oils, springs, camber, caster ect. Ball diff or gear diff?

Wow, so this last weekend, I broke FOUR (4) spindles on my 22SCT... And the weekend before that, I broke THREE (3) on my 22 buggy!! Just landing slightly crossed-up and snap... Other than that, I was down-siding the jumps perfectly, no cartwheels, not a thing.

And it wasn't just me, either.. I've seen many others over the last few weeks, doing the same on their 22 buggies and trucks!? What gives?

Are they all 4mm trailing? What's the weather been like?

I've finally had to go to the aluminum spindles this weekend. Racing in 38*F weather will often dictate a parts swap!

definitely! below 50* I would run the aluminum spindles.
night racing is coming up this May for my area, may have make the switch too!

were you/they running the TiNi king pin???

what was the temperature like???

My cousin lives up in Morro Bay, about how far is it to your track from there???

Yeah, it gets into the 30's for our winter racing and many more parts break. Those poor Shumacher K1 4wd guys can go through a few front bumpers in a single race day - they have to replace them as it's also the dif cover. DOH!

pablo040

Yeah, I know - it's just been my experience that people don't rebuild "routine maintenance" items like diffs and shocks, or even cvds, as often as they should. They wait until they have some kind of failure (or rebuild crunchy parts), and then come running to these threads.

San luis is 10-15 minutes away.
