Ok, im not the most experienced guy on here yet but im gettin better each time out. Having said that, I love my 224 and durability wise it has been fine I think and considering that it has had to endure my learning curve I have broken 1 front arm so far and a rear universal. Hopefully I havent just cursed my car! LOL!
With that said, the 2.0 looks nice but I think that it is BS that TLR didn't make the gear diffs a drop in fit for the 1.0. Hopefully the front arms are a bolt on fit but considering the direction of most manufacturers today they probably don't fit either!
In any case not sure if I am gonna upgrade yet or not because I really like my 224 as it is right now. Hopefully TLR possibly puts together an upgrade kit for those that just wanna possibly upgrade there current car.
Something with the gear diffs, rear hubs, cva's, etc....
Either way can't wait to see this when my buddy gets his built!

Yo, turtle!! Next time you tear your front diff out, take a close look at at the clearances b/t the front pulley/diff side of the outdrives, & where hole in the chassis/front pivot, & case.
The FACT they engineered a durable gear diff that only increased the width on the diff assembly 1mm per side (inside of outdrive bearing to opposite outdrive bearing) is a miracle! Shuey diffs aren't that narrow.
Hence, and I'm presuming that the hole in the chassis that the diff assembly sits inside, in the 1.0 & Shorty Chassis, would have to be mod'd slightly for the gear diff to fit. I'm guessing this is the main reason they could be drop-in ready for the 1.0 car.
I do not have a 2.0 parts in hand to be certain of this though.
Btw: you may want to take a hard look at the 2.0 adjustment inserts + gear diff on a 1.0 rear.... I know I will be shortly ;-)
Ps: just buy the new car! You know you wanna! You know you're going to! Don't fight. It feels kinda right don't it... Lol
Dude, I will be getting one. You can't beat the price for all quirks your getting. And way cheaper than a 22 3.0 laydown :-)

Maybe all that has to be done is a little work with a file to get them to fit but I would guess that the locations for the screws are probably different if the housings are a bit wider.
I will just upgrade most likely!

Yeah, I hear ya! I am probably gonna get one as well and just keep the 1.0! I like it that much and our track here is kinda wishy washy with traction at times.

I'll have new front parts, when they are released, to check. I really like my shorty chassis w/cooling hole, so if it's simply remove a lil material for the new pieces to work, then it's worth it to me.
Based on reading posts, website, & the Q&A vid, my understanding is they had to mod the bearing holders to comp for the slightly wider width.
Done by the inserts in the rear & front housing & cover..
I meant to ask Frank, what they change in the slipper shaft? The 2.0 has its own part.

The 2.0 uses the same front tower, so the screw holes "should" be the same.

Hopefully the 2.0 lives up to our lofty expectations!

Well it's a nice ride for sure but now I am not as upset with AE for taking so long for their new wheeler as long as they make many more improvements than TLR did. Here comes the flamessss

Does the 22-4 take a regular sized servo or a low profile servo? Or will it take either?

#72
Does anyone know which Diff oil you should buy the for New 22-4 2.0...??
#74
New to 4wd buggy. Always loved TLR. First buggy was an 90 Losi JRX2 and would like to get another Losi. What does the Losi 22.4 have over the others, and specifically the Xray XB4? thx

Yes, the bell cranks, servo horns, bell cranks, etc. are all the same.
