So I am planning to start a new build as I enter 1/10 scale for the first time. I have been racing 1/8 scale all summer and want to keep racing during the winter. I am torn between building the standard 22 4.0 or to build the 22 4.0 spec racer. I have been doing research but unfortunately there is not alot of info out there on the spec racer. Any thoughts?

I really want to get one of these to try 4wd buggy racing, but I fear TLR is going to release a new version soon. Every other TLR vehicle is on version 3.0 or 4.0, but the 22-4 is still 2.0.

I have seen a few 22-4s with the rear shocks mounted on the front of the shock tower, which I guess requires some modification to accomplish. What advantage would such a change provide? I will be driving the car in a 13.5t blinky class on an outdoor track with a medium-loose grip surface. Would front mounted rear shocks be advantageous for such a track?

My opinion -- I feel like it centralizes the weight towards the middle of the car and allows it to carry more corner speed and push a little less. I think you give up a hair of rear tire traction.

So I've just got my kit almost finished and I want to change the spur out for something smaller as I'm running 17.5 stock. What exactly do I need to take off to get to the spur? I've tried undoing the casing from the top and that wouldn't move. Is there an easy way?

Welcome to the 22 4. Its one of the best driving 4wd available, however the price for that is you get to take lots of stuff apart to change the spur. Youll need to remove the front two belts covers and the screw on the bottom that holds the middle cover and maybe the servo. once you get used to it, its not that bad. The 22 4 2.0 is a great car but if your changing spur gears a lot at races or what ever..that's gonna get old.

If you look at the post above you from TSAIR, he has a link to his YouTube page in his signature. He has a video on what's required to swap the spur gears. Enjoy.

Also, make sure your gear mesh is set perfectly, so you don't accidentally strip it and have to get to it again...

Thanks for the help guys. If I had have known it was such a pain in the ass to change the spur I would have done it right the first time!!!
For stock (17.5) should I be running the 76T spur and about 30T pinion?
