So found out the previous owner of my 22 warped the Chassis, there goes $40 of my upgrade budget.
Need more seat time and practice so have ordered the following:
1 Set of AKA Rebars in Soft.
1 set of ProLine HoleShots in M3 (currently on the car, super grippy, Center pins were bald in 10 packs though
1 set of ProLine Rear Wheels.
1 Set of Out Drives
1 Set each of all Long Life Diff balls
1 New Rotor for my Tekin 17.5T motor
1 x 30wt Shock Oil
1 x 25wt Shock Oil
1 Set of Low Friction O rings
1 Set Standard O rings
Anything other consumables I should pick up?

OK, have a question about using the TLR1073 2mm aluminum trailing spindles. I have those on my buggy and it feels like thee is a ton of play in the front wheels. The entire front end feels kind of sloppy. I know there is a bit in the ball cups, but mostly, I am wondering if anyone has had any issues with a lot of side to side play in those spindles with stock axles and screws?
Also, I have the =1.5 rear hubs. they make the rear wide enough that the lock nuts that are stock do not engage the nylon. Is this normal, or what are people doing?

I tried this servo out about a year ago maybe even longer and it worked great as long as your steering rack had very minimal play, as soon as it wore in good and had some decent slop but not too much to worry about the servo would bind. Just my 2 pennies, id stick with a standard size servo, the spectrums that all the team guys are running work great, sorry i cant think of the number right now but very reasonable and close to the cost of that savox.

I have the Savox 1251MG servo in two different 22's since the 22 first came out, and regardless of play or not that is THE servo for me. Works perfect everytime, I haven't had any bind, not even once, and the servo is perfect. It is like it was made for the 22.
Go 1251MG all the way is my advice!

Anyone know the part number for the low friction o rings. Anyone see that exotek racing came out with 1mm tranny shims for 22,22t,22sct. $4.95 for the shims. Good to see a manufacture came out with the pair c'mon TLR come out some nice tranny shims.

Looks like Dustin Evans finally get his 22 to go last night...
Just for S&G's, I like to see the drivers swap cars and have the top AE guys run TLR, Kyosho run Durango, etc. That would be interesting...

I saw a TLR guy take a box stock slash 4x4 and smear all the Traxxas guys at a Traxxas event.

Yeah he was flying. I am FINALLY going to be getting back to the track again. Waiting on a few more parts to complete my 22 and then I'll be banging out as many laps as I can before the JC Race in Oct. I'm going to focus on 17.5 for a bit until I get comfortable with the car and then I'll bump it up.
