TLR TEN-SCTE 2.0 Kit Thread
#2551
Hey Ryan - how will consumers know when the new shock bottoms hit the market? Will they be a new part number, indicated with an asterisk, or??? While I did manage to get mine one, I don't really care to have plier marks all over them.
Also, wondering if you had a chance to review one of my earlier comment/question...
on step B-13 & B-14 is LOS6262 supposed to be 8-32 x 1/2" instead of 8-32 x 1/4" as the manual indicates? The manual and the description in Fast Serve do not match nor does the 1:1 image. It's sort of difficult for our new customers trying to build this truck when they suspect that HW is missing or wrong.
And just on a side note, is there going to be any type of manual addendum to correct the mistakes? Thank goodness for Gary's pics up on FB. This manual needs some TLC. Same with the exploded view insert. It shows only three hub spacers while the manual shows 4.

We are currently working on updating the exploded view, although the 3 vs. 4 shims I did not catch. We have a new database on screw sizing built so that all manuals for kits are correct going forward. I missed the 1/4 vs 1/2 on that sizing notation so that is my fault.

Ryan, been meaning to post something for a couple of weeks now on the 2.0. First off, congrats to TLR & Dakota for the win at the Cactus Classic. I built my truck a couple of weeks ago and was so impressed with the fit and finish of all the components, everything went together perfect and with no binding at all. Great job !!
I got a chance to get out last week and race it with the kit setup and only changed the shock pistons to 55/2 in front and 55/2 drilled to 1.6 in the rear.
The truck was balanced perfectly, jumped well and had crazy on and off power steering. I was able to win the Pro4 class first time out.
Once again, great job on this TLR product.
All the best...

Yeah , was trying to be funny/sarcastic I am sure you didn't do anything wrong , those 1/16 head screws are crap , were crap when the SCTE was released and are still crap IMO . I found a substitute a long time ago with the HPI Z449 2.5x10mm screws that use a 2mm hex head . Why TLR cant source them from the same people HPI gets them from is a mystery too me .

This is the one nagging problem left with the SCTE2.0 IMO(now that the diffs are fixed) , otherwise its a very nice rig .
LOL , forgot to put in the emoticon

after the 1.0 shitty screw issue you would think someone would be all over that....
Again im 100% thrilled with the kit.
just a couple screws and i had and have spares for the rest of the build.
I have been thru PRE horizon Losi builds that had XXX4 with XXXS chassis in the box. 1/2 in too short...
Losi XXT with crappy pin tires that were missing half the pins.
XXXT that came with XXT bodies that were too short.
always seemed to be something every time.
At least these are little problems. that were oversights.
the others were more like
"we know its wrong but ship 'em out like that and we will fix it when they phone and we have the right parts in stock"
That was before Horizon.
Back when it was Losi

I think buying the HPI screws, or having extra screws to pre-thread before you use the final screw, is the way to go!

This running change nonsense has to stop... New part number or gtfo.. I can't always compare old part and revised part, side-by-side to determine which is the newly revised part... Unless they are labeled with an updated part number, like the new diff housings, are! Now THAT, is what I'm talking about... They used to do that for the XXX cars, all the time, when a revised part came out, the part number and descriptions were different from the originals..
Please!! Please do this, TLR... Please.

I will post on here when we get them. Should be end of this week, beginning of next. I understand plier marks are not pretty.

How about some HA 7075 hub spacers as an option part like we have on the 22?

AGREED!!!!

Happened to me twice now already. Ordered SCTE shock shaft o-rings, instead I did the ones that were accidentally mis-packaged diff o-rings. That and another winner. Can't remember exactly what that one was, but I was still equally upset and without the proper parts I needed to race that weekend.
See the problem now??

basically everything in the center of the chassis except the motor/diff mount but the top plates on the diffs are different. Plus the CF shock towers, TLR chassis for relocation of the diff and other stuff, side guards, and the rear bumper and front bumper have been tweeked a bit i believe also
Basically just go the link and scroll down til you see the SCTE 2.0 by the parts title and thats what you need....Basically scroll down about 2/3s to 3/4 of the way down the page and will see the SCTE 2.0 next to the part names
