So the shocks from the tlr 22 sct can be used on the 22s?
Yes. Pretty much any big bore SCT shock will work on it, as long as the eye to eye length matches.
so what exactly did the avidrc slipper clutch improve for you? how did the pinion and spur gear tooth configurations change the way the truck drives? I've PM'd you but havent heard from you, so maybe this might get to you.
may i ask how fast it goes
what dirt cover did you get that actually fits??
That guy only ever made that one single post on this forum back in April and hasnt been back since so its doubtful you'll get a response from him.
Well, learn how it drives, read through my post to see what I’ve done. It also depends on the track and what they let you have. I don’t race officially, I built a track in the backyard
It entirely depends on what class you are in. Stock, you can't do much with, and is the easiest to start out with. Whether it is a stock class, a mod class, or any other class, starting out, you really dont need to do much with it. Get used to how it drives, then, if you really want to, you can change the shocks to threaded aluminum ones, and change the fixed links for adjustable ones. Is yours the brushed or brushless version? Brushless, to run 2S, you may need to change gearing to keep it competitive. On 2S, the brushless version, which is set up for 3S, is a bit slow on a 2S battery.
For a stock class, both versions are pretty competitive right out of the box. The biggest limiting factor on them is the fixed links, which tend to pop off, and allow no caster/camber adjustment. I have both brushed and brushless versions, both of which i raced right out of the box (they are the only new trucks i have, all my other race trucks are older and discontinued, which is why i bought the two trucks in the first place), and, other than the brushless being slow on 2S, which a gear change took care of, i didnt do too bad with either truck.
If you are planning on racing one of these, brushed or brushless, a lot of the stuff you did was unnecessary. You state that you arent a racer, mainly a basher, which there is nothing wrong with, but, if you have ever raced, you would know that, unless you are in a mod class, most of the upgrades you did wouldnt be allowed. Some of the upgrades you did wouldnt even be allowed by some mod class rules. For a racer, the only parts of what you did i can agree with are the new servo, and adjustable links, which, you dont need Traxxas links, the ones from the TLR 22SCT are a direct replacement, as are most of the TLR 22SCT parts. None of my race trucks have much, if anything in the way of aluminum parts, since i have never seen a need for them.
No I don’t race, there isn’t a place to race where I’m at. I basically upgraded as I saw fit, at the time when I bought the adjustable links, everything TLR was on back order. That’s why they call it “team discontinued” or team back order.
