I would think you would want to run a plastic idler next to the top shaft that way you would have metal-plastic-metal-plastic and the plastic gears would act as a "cushion" between the metal gears and to avoid metal to metal contact.

I'm looking to get the 22T 2.0 what motor would you recommend for mod class ??

Well, trinity makes a 2.5 mod motor now.

Just kidding.

You run whatever you're comfy with. I ordered a 7.5 turn for mod truck.

If you run on a really high bite track and drive aggressively, landing on throttle when landing jumps etc., it is probably a good idea.

I would also go top shaft, plastic idler, alum idler, plastic diff gear.

7.5T for most and a 6.5T for those who aren't faint of heart

Guess what is in my truck

My experience with the Alu idler gear next to the shaft was alott of wear. So as stated above go Plastic then Alu , Plastic then alu.
From this old guy running outdoor loose track I was running a 7.5, found it hard to drive.
So I went to a 10.5 with Boost and Turbo. I like it more because its soft on the bottom but really goes when you apply full throttle.
I have wayyyyy more control. I'm a speed freak but got REAL!
Now High bite is another ballgame, I like 7.5 with zero timing.

Shouldn't have any wear if using some black grease (as recommended). I've run the same top shaft and idler in my RM 22SCT 2.0 (alum v. alum) for well over a year and the anodizing hasn't worn off the parts.... lasts a long time

What is the part # for the KYO Gold front spring?

Also... I've been running Dakota's RM setup for a while - wondering if anyone has improved on his RM setup. There any suggested changes?

I am really liking the used $35 LRP 6.5 I have in my truck. Never wanting for power.

Yes black grease was used , Here are some Pic. This is a year of Racing with normal maintenance . This is just my experience. Passing along my info just to HELP never bashing TLR> Notice the saw blade effect as a result of Alu. Idler gear in direct contact. Yes I changed the bearing.... but only after I noticed the Bad handling ( hooking when going off throttle)

Does anyone know if the Jconcepts body, part#0226, will fit in both the mid-motor and rear motor configuration? Their website doesn't specify. Thanks.

Frank, I will never complain about the price of a set of TLR LF springs after seeing the KYO cost for one pair.
