Slashn-- There are lots of little things on the 2.0. Some are things we have been doing for years like running shorty without a little grinding. Others are help with maintence like splitting up the covers like many asked for for quite a long time. Other things like the gear diffs are all new and complete new designs that people seem to really like and were asking for.
Anything that really makes the car a ton faster then the 1.0. little things but the car delivers many of the things people asked for in when the 1.0 came out. The 22-4 is a very capable car and has and will compete with the best cars on the market. The 2.0 was not a full redesign it was giving the customer what they asked for. Making an already awesome care that much easier to work on and more durable.

On the flip side, there is a certainly a good chance a number of 22-4 1.0 cars out there (by drivers in the know that keep up with the trends) that have been already updated to near 22-4 2.0 specs, but not limited to (i.e. 22 rear end conversion, optional rear camber block, sway bars, shorty chassis with cut-out (that the 22-4 2.0 does not offer currently), etc, and a number of other updates such as top & bottom + front chassis cover) among others that I may have left out.
In that case I can see how the 22-4 1.0 & 22-4 2.0 would be similar in handling for comparison purpose, since basically the near same car, with the exception of gear diffs being one of the major differences between those two cars that would be ideal under different track conditions.

I ran my one day old 22-4 2.0 last night and noticed it seemed to get 'stuck' in slow corners, like it hit a snag in the drivetrain. I thought it was a bad sensor wire. Turns out the 3mm drive pin in the rear dog bone had come loose and was eating it's way through the vertical ball stud....sad face.
I CA'd the pin but I have my doubts it will stay put. I guess I'll be calling Horizon in the morning.
Otherwise the buggy is a beast. Super durable and whisper quiet.
JC wheels fit fine up front, but the rears which are JC B4/TLR, have too deep of a concave face and the 4mm locknut bottoms out about 1mm before securing the wheel, so for now I will run some 1mm washers, but I see new wider aluminum rear hexes in my future....or TLR wheels.

I had THE SAME thing happen to my drive pin tonight. Didn't even get one full pack through the new build Heard a odd clicking noise coming from my car, pulled it off and found the same pin coming out of the bone chewing a groove through my vertical ball stud mount. Anyone know of another drive shaft that can be used? Was wondering if I can use the 67mm 3.0 drive shaft with the 1mm spacer?

the pin will come out if the parts are not locktighted properly...meaning, you have to clean the metal parts with motor spray and tighten the setscrew down properly..
#293
well yes, that is a different problem...sorry
#294
Any updates on replacement rear axles? I called horizon and the guy I talked to was clueless on the issue.

So how many out there are having the pin come out of the bone, I have my car built and ready to go but have not hit the track yet as I would just prefer to wait for the new bones(don't need them chewing up the vertical stud mount).
Also, I used the 2mm and 1mm spacers in the front shocks for down limit travel as the instructions call for, but the front arms seem almost flat, is this right or are you guys using less spacers?
Thanks

I also still have that "stuck" issue when going through corners and its weird because it doesn't happen every lap and it seems to depend on the compression of the shock when turning.
I've only heard good things with Horizon taking care of these issues so make sure you give them a chance to get you fixed up. I've been out of town for a couple of weeks but will be calling Horizon tomorrow to hopefully resolve the issue.
