Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share my TLR 22T 4.0 setup that I’ve been practicing/racing over the last couple of weeks. I posted on the #22empire on Facebook to share your setup and I used a lot of input from there to come up with this one I have here (thanks everyone on #22empire for your support!). I used this setup and raced this past weekend at Gspeed raceway and I brought home the TQ and the win at their first annual Walking Dead Race. GSHOBBY/Gspeed raceway is located in Barling, Arkansas with a fully stocked hobby shop and an awesome racing facility. I can’t wait to race there again.

22 4.0 raised rear shock tower 1mm

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share a little insight/details from the latest TLR 22 4.0 posted by Frank and Chad (Setup can be found here). In this setup, Frank adds in the notes in the lower right corner to raise rear shock tower 1mm. I just added 4x 1mm axle washers over the aluminum posts on the transmission case, and then replaced the tower (see pic). Here’s an explanation on what this does and what other things you can do along with this change (Give the car 1mm more rear up travel, and also add 2mm external limiters in the front to decrease the front up travel). Basically, the car is rolling to the ‘stops’ sometimes, and the front/rear roll was not balanced causing the car to roll over the front more (especially in sweepers and high grip). Evening out that roll helps to keep the car from flipping and gives it a better balance through those turns.

Gear diff tip

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share what I do with my TLR 22 and 22-4 2.0 gear diff outdrives. I’ve seen that some people have had outdrive set screws coming loose, which can damage the outdrive pin by rounding off the flat spot used for the set screws. Here’s what I do to make sure this doesn’t happen; I use red lock tight gel. I use this on the set screws, and I also add a small amount to the outdrive pin before installing the outdrive. (see pic) Be sure to not over do this on the drive pin as a little bit of lock tight goes a long way.

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like to share that TLR has released a new line of front 1/10th springs sold individually. These springs are all stiffer then our standard front Silver spring that come with all 22 lines of vehicles. From testing, we’ve found that having this wider range of springs is needed for all the different surface situations faced in racing today from 1/10th clay to 1/10th turf or carpet. These springs are instock and ready for purchase today!

TLR344035 3.5mm shock shaft conversion for 8IGHT-X

December 18, 2018, 8:40 am

Hello everyone,

Many have asked us about the 3.5mm shock shaft conversion for the 8IGHT-X that some of the team run so I wanted to provide the full rundown here.

Here is the link:

The 8IGHT-X comes with our traditional 4mm shock shafts.  The 4mm shock shafts are more durable for the average user and we wanted to maintain the durability in the vehicle we are known for.  However, after much testing, we noticed an advantage to having a smaller diameter 3.5mm shock shafts. The main advantage to the 3.5mm shock shaft setup is they handle the smaller sharper bumps better. The smaller diameter shafts pack up less and this is what accounts for the handling change.

This kit comes with a complete setup to convert your 8IGHT-X to the 3.5mm shock shafts. The kit includes the guide set, x-rings, shock ends, and shock shafts.  Each of these are also available separately in case you need replacements down the road.

The shock ends are indeed different.  There are separate shock ends for the 3.5mm and the 4.0mm shock shafts due to the thread sizing.

Given all of that info, we wanted to share how this conversion package is installed.  This is installed in this order: Thin guide, x-ring, thick guide, x-ring, lower guide (with the thicker portion in).


Hopefully, that image also helps some.

Also, one other item we noticed is that after some time, some "sticktion" can occur and this is due to the thickness of the center thick guide.  Given this, we recommend sanding this down right away from 2.5mm to 1.9mm as shown in the below images.  We will update this moving forward but some of these made it in and this is an easy adjustment to make.

 

I hope this helps and good luck at the races!

TLR 22 front Turf and Carpet wheels

Hello everyone,

This week, I would like share a question I’ve been asked on my Facebook page quite often the last couple of weeks. “How can I make the standard front TLR wheel narrower to work with the front carpet tires available on the market today?” One option is to trim a standard wheel to make it narrow (see picture below). I use a Stiffezel wheel for any turf or carpet application and trim it to be narrow. (part numbers TLR43018 and TLR43017). TLR has just released a new front wheel that doesn’t require this trimming and it’s and the same great Stiffezel material. (part numbers TLR43020 and TLR43019)

TLR 1/10 Spring Chart 2019

Hello Racers!

We've had a lot of requests for a revised spring chart, so we've gone ahead and made it happen.  There are a few springs that are still in stock that are not on this chart, but all of the new springs and the springs we will continue to offer are included.





We have standard springs, which are a little more progressive than the Low-Frequency TLR springs, which are less progressive.  We have found the standard springs to work better on controlling the heavier vehicles, with more roll from the body, tires, etc., so we run these on SCT and Stadium Truck.  For 4wd and 2wd 1/10 buggies, the Low-Frequency springs are the way to go.  The compression and rebound of these springs matched the weight of the buggies well, and these work well in all conditions.

Thanks and Race on!
Frank
