Build Thread David's TLR 22 5.0 2wd Buggy build

Maybe it's just me ordering the wrong parts (like I don't look at parts long enough), well at least for this camber block bc I just looked and the one I got off the car is originally from the 22T/SCT and doesn't say it's compatible with the 5.0 buggy but apparently it is. Lol.

This is so confusing like why can't they just share the same parts between all the models. I get that different models need different length parts but at least try to have the same design.

(Hint) Hopefully this vintage Losi I'm thinking about getting is better than this thing. Hopefully right parts and no parts mix-up and issues. (I know it's gonna be better built than this buggy)

I'm making a educated guess that the binding is the pills bc the pills, even the new ones from Losi directly, the pill captures the hinge pin too tightly. Idk how to like to open up the pills slightly so it can not bind... ?

Ok so... Sorry TLR and horizon for making you look bad but idk how and why but today it just magically fixed itself.

Got the car from my bench, I was just about to pull off the d block. Moved the arms up and down. Both arms drop down freely, no binding...?
Well not totally free but mostly free. I backed the nut for the shock standoff just a smidge and rebled the shocks, although no oil came out so they were properly bled, and no binding. Boom. Magically fixed. But I'm like how? Why what? The other week I remember taking the shock off and the arm was still binding, even with new parts. I'm just lost and confused but atleast it's fixed!

Well on to setup, the new pills I put in, I just decided to put in on all 4 corners the pills that have the center dot/0 on them bc I wasn't sure if it was gonna fix it or not but it's fixed now. I really don't wanna dig back in there to put in what I had. Would running 0/center dot pills be ok setup wise for carpet and clay?

Guess TLR kits have a mind of their own?
