I owned the 22-4 1.0 last year , and I loved the way the car actually drove , but it was the most unreliable car I owned. I replaced an arm or suspension bulkhead or both at least once a race day . Fast-forward to today , I just bought a 2.0 . I like the way they drive that much ! So , my question is , how many pivot braces and arms do I need to carry for the 2.0 ? and ... Do the left and right arms interchange on the front of the car yet without mods ?

I pulled a ball stud out of my rear hub and am looking to replace the hub. I know the manual lists TLR234065 as the kit hub. When I read the description for that hub it states "All 22 / 22-4 2.0". What is the difference between this hub and TLR234058 which states it is for "All 22/T"? Would TLR234058 not work on a 22-4 2.0?
How about the new composite hubs, are they the same dimensions as TLR234065 or TLR234058, or neither?
EDIT: I just realized after starring at the 22 & 22-4 hub side by side that TLR234065 has an extra hole on the outside (3 vs 2). Guess that's the difference.

Frank, update on my over steering issue: thickened the front diff fluid to 60K went to orange springs and dropped front shock fluid down to 35. This really tamed the steering. Had a local TLR driver take it for some laps and he liked it. The rest is on me just getting used to the car.
As far as the front belt. I unknowingly had a bad ESC that wasn't giving me the torque I was looking for: I was compensating by tightening the slipper. ESC changed & problem solved. The car is dialed...... as for the driver? Not so much.....lol

Set-up for carpet racing
I bought a 2nd 22-4 2.0 to race on carpet. I put what I believe to be the heaviest available springs on the front (black) and rear (red), and bought the front sway-bar kit. I believe the pink rear sway bar is the heaviest and I actually went down to the lowest sway bar in front because the car lacked a little steering. I'm running the kit set-up for the shock pistons/oil. I'm running 19mm of ride height, but with all the changes mentioned, the car still traction rolls for me. Does anyone have any other recommendations for a carpet set-up? On a separate note, in order to get the 19mm ride height, I have the rear spring collars all the way up and when the car is on the stand, the springs do not touch the adjustment collars.

I am fairly new to RC stuff, have just purchased a 22-4 2.0 to race on carpet at a local club. I am worrying myself that the fan on my esc is fairly close to the bodyshell 'roof' when the shell is on? I have it in shorty config, so the esc is behind the servo. Is the little channel in the shell enough, or would I ever need to put any further holes in the shell? I am using a toro 120a esc, with an 8.5t motor currently.

I have not had heat issues in my car. the little scoop to get fresh air into the motor works reasonably well. If geared properly motor heat should not be an issue although 8.5T motor is a little soft for what is typically used in modified 4wd. You normally see 7.5-5.5 range of motors in this class. Not saying your choice is wrong but if you try and get more power out of it with gearing and timing you can run into temp issues then if that makes sense.

So is the scoop supposed to be drilled out then? And there would be no benefit in say putting a few holes in the front window to allow more airflow? Motor wise - I was recc'd this just to start, then I can progress with quicker motors as I go!
Thanks!
Thanks!

I had a problem of it flipping over the front outside wheel going into turns on our carpet track. The solution was to use different front tires. Originally I was using a pin type carpet tire on the front, which had too much side bight. Switched to a staggered rib type tire and that settled things down. Used both the Schumacher Stagger Rib and the JConcepts Swaggers with great success.
Tip: Use 2wd front foams for the Schumacher's, since the tire carcass width is slimmer than a full size 4wd front tire. I mistakenly put 4wd foams in and the tires unevenly wore down the center treads more than the outside treads.
