Cub86 posted the question: Hi. I'm struggling to understand the lay down situation. I run on high bite damp smooth clay and think the conversation would help on my surface but from what I'm reading I need to buy the lay down kit tlr338004. And the dirt gear case tlr332063. But do I really need both from what I've read the dirt case is 1-2mm higher anyway and u don't use the +3mm hubs or the front pivot hrc or Hrc mod. So is the dirt lay down kit tlr332063 is all that's needed to get me a lay down set up that's suited for clay With the components and car I already have. And if I only get the dirt case is there any problems that will need to be addressed IE.. bone plunge . I do know I'll need 1mm spacers on the waterfall to clear the battery. Thanks guys really trying to get my head around this.

Franks response:
Laydown Conversion will work great by itself. You run the aluminum +3mm hubs, the diff is +3.5mm, and you run the HRC front setup. Just follow a setup sheet from tlracing.com (Frank Root).

Dirt Tranny has the diff at the same height as the standard tranny case, and works with the standard plastic hubs. Both are +/- 0mm from stock. When you run this, no need to run the HRC front mod either.

I've found the stock laydown conversion parts to work great for most tracks. The dirt tranny is a great tuning option, but definitely not 'required'.

Something I made, pretty basic. Just to give people an idea.

Manual says 25t pinion with 70t spur. To run a 70t spur you have to run the older style slipper or use aftermarket slipper (such as Avid or Schelle).

Originally developed for the 22-4, we found these hubs to increase performance for the 22 3.0 on higher grip carpet and Astro tracks.




Aluminum chassis, machined gear cases, motor plate, carbon battery strap, body, aluminum rear hubs, and all the hardware. I think you'll find it is by far the best "lay down" value.

Last night I ran 13.5 buggy with my 3.0. ESC in blinky and ~25 degrees timing on the endbell with a Tekin Gen2 motor. Gearing was 70/26. After 6-8 minutes of running (warmup/race) motor temps were 150-165, starting to get warm, but still acceptable.

70/25 should be a safe setup temp wise, but I expect it to be a little lacking in power especially if you have any decently long straights.

Has anyone tried running the hott racing aluminum front bulkhead?

I was considering trying it for a couple reasons.

1. durability

2. stiffen the front end up a bit

3. little added weight in the front end

My first thought is stiffer front springs. Then I'm just guessing at thicker rear oil, maybe less droop in the rear.

Thanks!
This is probably the most common setup issue we come across at my local track with all brands and everyone has a different idea on how to fix it.
During my last test day I found moving the rear bottom shock mounting locations inwards reduced it though

Yeah, softening up the rear. Should work. I'm wondering if adding limiters in the rear shocks to reduce droop will be beneficial. Although it's picking up the inside rear wheel, at which point you're past your droop setting, I wonder if reducing the amount it can roll before having to actually lift up will will prevent so much weight from shifting to the front outside.

I'm also thinking driving style can eliminate it. Following the recommendation of the local fast guy, I increased drag brake to 30% for carpet. I think I'm coming into corners hotter, slowing down hard, then whipping the back around. If I slowed down in a little more controlled way and rounded the corner carrying my momentum (rather than stop, turn, punch it), I probably wouldn't be lifting my inside rear.

Try more front droop

More front droop to prevent inside rear tire lifting? I'm at the kit setup 1 mm limiters in the front, none in the rear.

So that will prevent the front from rolling as far, keeping the back end down?

I would run a 78/28 or 78/29. Then you will be using the new slipper pads and wont have to change spur gears for different winds.

Bump. Still wondering about this.

How about when used on the 22-4, which is what I'm doing with it?
