Anyone run the Exotek aluminum front hinge pin brace? I found this is the only real weakness of the car.

I have yet to break or wear out the stock hing pin brace. I'm also running the stock plastic bulkhead as well. I bought 2 of the Exotek bulkheads as they were discontinued but haven't seen a need to install it yet.

New to me 22-4 2.0.
Just picked my first 22-4 2.0 and I’m pretty excited. Yes it looks complicated, however super high quality and well thought out. I’m leaving my Sworkz 1/10 4x4 for a bunch of reasons, but I love how active the community is here with people like Frank Root being so helpful. Very happy to join the crew.
I do have a few questions however.
1). The manual calls out for a 27 tooth pinion for a 13.5 if I recall correctly. I’m going to run a Tekin Gen 3 13.5 and I hear it wants to rev. Should I try going down to a 26 tooth?? I have a medium indoor clay track.
2). The rear wheels have lots of “in and out” play like there should be a shim or spacer between the outer bearing and the stub axle cross pin to take up some of the play? The 22 4.0 arm mod says to add a 1mm spacer, anyone have a part number or any direction?

As for that shim I am not sure you could get it separate but I believe it came with the driveshaft set for the 22-4 2.0. Its possible its in your kit? FWIW, I went back to the kit rear arms and I liked it better, gave some more rear support. I ran Franks setup that is posted on the site just with the kit rear arms and HRC toe plate and it is very good. The best my 22-4 2.0 has ever been to be exact. I think the key was the shock package and mounting locations, when I did this change it was night and day different.

We really didn't have any major setup changes at this event from previous events. I'd suggest this setup below.

Hi - so I've recently picked up this kit and have driven it around a little bit around my house (until indoor racing starts). Yesterday it turns out my spur gear stripped while braking. I haven't really read about any issues with the spur gear so I'm assuming it's my setup. I have the car set up as follows:
13.5 T motor/ESC combo
27/78 gearing
I checked to make sure that the motor didn't shift and alter the gear mesh (it didn't), and this isn't my first RC vehicle where I've had to set gear mesh. The only thing that's weird is that when I was building the slipper, with the nut flush against the shaft, it seems like there is absolutely no slip in the assembly - like its too tight. Maybe it's something with my slipper?
Any ideas on what to check? I've ordered another couple of spur gears which should be here later this week.
Thanks,
Angelo

Are you talking about the little bar that mounts in the front of the arms connecting the two hinge pins or the Aluminum Pivot block? I run the Exotek front pivot and love it.
#2443
I actually just fully cleaned and rebuilt my 22-4 2.0 and then packed it away Indiana Jones ark style and threw the Exotek pivot block in the box. It's the first RC car I plan to keep forever.
#2444
I decided to do the same thing with my 22-4, it is now a RC relic!
