Another first run story, Car was a blast to drive once I fixed some diff issues(my issues not TLR's), got 2nd in the B main even after breaking the front shock tower with 30 seconds or so togo( my fault for being dumb) they bumped the top 2 to the A, wasn't doing too bad in the A, then I had a brain fart on the triple, end up slamming the car head on into a wall. amazingly I broke a front arm and the hinge pin is still intact. Loved the car, jumps like a dream, I had a blast even though I broke. I had several hard cartwheeling tumbling crashes and the car just kept going, the crash that got the shock tower was mild compared to some of the ones I drove away from.
Can't wait to run it again.

Here's a link in petitrc that shows some 22-4 electronics layouts: http://www.petitrc.com/setup/losi/se...ectronicsSetup
In there, I do see a few layouts with R603FS mounted next to ESC.

I Tq'd oh yeah the kit was all night long all over a 20 lap pace. Man I wanted the 20, 1 fobble will bring you off it though I got a 19/5:01. So in the main I came out like a pro racer on steroids and was a lap on the field then it happened. (Sniffle sniffle) 3 or 4 laps to go and the front belt gave up on me. It brought me to a crawl. Ended up 6th. Grrrrr! Oh the horror of trying to crawl the track and save the race. Well they cant take my TQ from LOL.
36 packs and the front belt went. 2 race days and 2 practice days on it so my guess is a good maintenance regiment would be 30 packs or 3 race days then inspect the belts. Diffs are still pretty smooth but I may rebuild them as well while its apart...
Note:: a good idea for TLR would be small belt packaging and a rear belt package..

How do the other belts & pulleys look?

The longer rear 22 buggy shafts will allow an E clip to be placed to keep the pin from sliding forward. There's a little bit of room for slop, but I don't think they will move much set up like this...
Run the nut down all the way to the shoulder of the shaft and cut off the rest. I used red loctite on the threads. They don't ever need to come apart. Grub screws are out

Is anyone cutting any type of air venting into the body for the electronics? Just curious

I'm using my old TLR6079 TiNi hinge pins from my first 22 for now, as seems everyone is sold out of the correct hinge pins, hopefully they don't break as well. I'm also temporarily using a front right arm on the left side until my LHS gets more in stock. Earlier in this thread they said it would work as long as you wern't using a sway bar kit.

Carpets hard on everything! lol I remember when we actual broke rx crystals from pan cans tacking walls.
Q: for my own info.. Did you notice that hinge pin had broke after the arm broke on you? How did the arm break by the front brace or by the bottom of the chassis. And did it do any damage to your bulkhead too?
If would be awesome if anyone else that's broken hinge pins could answer these too!
thanks

Instead of cutting the body, I cut the body mount up front, and used hook and loop body mounting along the chassis sides together with the rear clips. Works perfectly and looks better than cutting off the nose...
