TLR 22 5.0 Elite: C&D Block Inserts Sanity Check

[c666187]

Good evening all! I am trying setup my car with a setup (https://site.petitrc.com/setup/losi/setup225.0/225.0DCER_RyanHarris_Ocala202109/) that should be a good starting place for my local track and I would like a sanity check on the C & D Block inset orientations. I am probably overthinking / overcomplicating this, so I am here for some help.

The manual has the following secret decoder ring:

The setup I am going for has shows the following:

C Block (looking front to rear):

D Block (looking rear to front):

So does what I have match the setup?

Thanks in advance!

So I got it backwards it appears. I was confused on which way I needed to "look" at the blocks. The way I did it matches looking the other way on each block. .

Thanks for the reply!

Without having the parts in hand, it's hard for me to say. Just looking at your pics and the diagrams, it's wrong. And shouldn't they be mirrored from one side to the other?

Liked mentioned, your pills are off. Doesn't matter if your doing your C or D block. The pills should be moving out on both sides to get what your after. Look at where the small circle is at on the pills, match that up to the picture.

I had not noticed where the dot on the pills could be on the center or off to the side. So it looks like I am off on orientation and the actual pills themselves. Thanks!

This should be much better!

Thanks everyone!

Are you supposed to use the same pill blocks front and back so your pins dont bind up or bend?

You don't have to use the same front/rear pills. The use of different hinge pin inserts, or "pills", gives you the ability to adjust the anti-squat and toe angles as well as hinge pin height/width in some cases.
