It is going to be a while yet, and we have no accurate date at this time.

I am a relatively new driver, what exactly is " downside a jump" ? Does that mean landing on the backside slope of the receiver ? ( yes this a serious question )

Yes that's what he means and its something every rc drive should strive for, makes for faster laps and keeps the car settled on landing.

That's a $30 crash, I'd say. When my son wrecks his B4.1, I can usually tally up the cost in damage before the car comes to a stop.

That's funny! Sounds like a Barrett-Jackson Auction while the B4.1 tumbles down the straight away........

clearly that wall should have gave way before doing that damage to the car

FYI,

TLR posted a solution to the hinge pin issue on Facebook the other day. The set screw is not needed. The bumper keeps the pins in place just fine. Since removing the set screws, no more breakage issues.

Downside

That means land you car on the down slope of the jump
Whatch a supercross race
Then think about that guy on the dirt bike of the outcome if he over jumps a triple and lands in the flats
Not good

When the guy next to him lads perfectly on the down side he gets the power to the ground and the inside line in the next corner
When you over jump I to the flats u pan out the car and blow the corner

Default 22-4 first drive
Finally got my kit on the track last weekend
I have too say I have driven and owned every kit and where the 22-4 excels IMO is you can over drive this car very aggressive and it does not get edgey or upset
It jumps and takes the bumps just like you would expect a Losi to do

This car is a slam dunk and highly recommended

Thank you TLR
