Hey guys.... Truck is doing so much better with your help; which has been greatly appreciated. Still looking for a little more rear sidebite. Any more advice will be appreciated. Also one of the tracks I run at is extremely rough and bumpy....what changes should I make to calm the truck down and make more stable? It appears to bounce around more than it should. Thanks again for any responses

Can someone please update the first page for the "TLR 22SCT Steering Ballcup Modification w/pictures " with the disclaimer to check to see if you have the newer style HD ballcups and if so you don't need to do this. They didn't change the part number apparently so you need to eyeball it to see if it's thicker.
Needless to say I did this and caused the ballcups to constantly pop off because I took off material that didn't need to be removed.

Servo Question for the 22SCT
This may have been asked already but could not find it and do not have the time to read every post. I have a Savox servo SC-1256TG and on page 12 A-4 they show using spacers for Airtronics, Futaba, Hitec, JR, KO PROPO, and Spektrum. As you all know they do not show them for the Savox.
Can anyone please tell me which spacer I need for this servo if any?
Thanks for you help.

Here's what posted on the first page:

(some people have been doing the above mod and still popping ball cups, RCT member easye has come up with something that seems to be working for him, here is his post.)

Hopefully this was a fix to ball cups popping off.
Ball Cup Tapered
Steering Rack Tapered where the ballstud goes
Here is an article that shows the chamfer done to the steering rack. TLR is using the same approach as the "easye" mod and will soon be releasing new ball cups as well. http://losiracing.blogspot.com/2012/...ification.html

OK guys what am I missing
I took a truck and set it up to the letter with the Root setup, slight deviation would be running a rs pro esc and 10.5 motor, new ball diff broke in, and running tight, and slipper loose enough to slip and cannot keep the rear of the truck in check, on power and off, it would just snap out from under you, and my other truck is setup with casper/dunford setup and would pull wheelies, all my trucks are running 3d's on the rear and pin type on the front, not sure of what they are all exactly, and was running tqx1 traction compound [heavy saucing] as this is the only brand allowed at the track, the track is mid-high bite indoor track, fairly smooth and flowing, as my casper/dunford truck was fast enough to lap the field twice, so any ideas on what to start to change and what can I do to make the truck better

I probably should edit this quote, but really not sure of what to change out of the text, I think the setup would work, as I am just in need of a point and shoot race truck that is capable of running on various different tracks, and from what I was reading on this thread about this setup, it made it sound that it was that "type" of setup and now just looking on ways to make it better so if any of you guys that are currently running this setup would offer me some ideas, I would be greatly appreciative

Can anyone comment on the lifecycle of the 22SCT? I see that AMain has them at a significant discount and are out of stock...in fact most of the 2wd SCTs are out of stock...is the class dying out?
I want to pick up another class for outdoor racing and have most of what I would need for 2wd SCT...just need a motor.

2wd SCT Mod is constantly the largest class running at our track.
I'm actually enjoying driving the 22sct more than my 4x4 :-D

The 22SCT is a pretty bad little truck, we had our Presidents' Day race this weekend and the top 4 trucks were all 22's. They are all out of stock because they are cheap right now, short course is alive and kickin here too!

If you don't have the parts....it is not the root setup....
I put the entire setup on my truck including the full parts list....best I've had this truck running...
