Awesome video Troy, definitely good info right here. Another thing I would say to check its camber adjustments, mine had positive camber all around. Also tighten the servo saver nut a lil, it will help with steering wobble.

Definitely going to take all your suggestions, wasn’t real happy with my first runs, no traction off the line and hard to keep straight. Hopefully the slipper adjustment helps with that, plus I’m going to order other tires. So thanks so much!! This is my first visit to the channel and I’m now subscribed!

Thanks Troy! I needed to bleed the shocks and remove 1 mm of flashing on one of the pistons that was binding. Besides the normal taping, I also had to taped down all the loose lighting wires, which were vibrating and wearing through the blue paint......luckily I bought a spare car for the shelf! FYI, weight distribution on the Losi is 30/70 with a 4200mah slide to the rear, 31/69 slide all the way forward in the battery mount. GNSS only weighs 38 grams......so placement is going to have very little effect in the middle of the chassis😎

I have one but with the Ford truck body. Noticed exact same issue with the tires rubbing the truck bed, put stickers over it but will try black tape (probably look good with my black body. The back of the truck body doesn’t roll under like the car does so I don’t have that problem. I have a GNSS type system with an LED screen that doesn’t fit on the chassis so we had to mount it on the body. Don’t do that, I nearly lost it when I crashed. Looks like I’m getting pinions and rebuilding my shocks before racing season! Great tips!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="440">7:20</a> I thought the standard practice is to have a bit of air in the shock bodies which lack a reservoir, since air is compressible and you need to account for the space that the shock piston will take up back when I used to own a Losi Mini LST, I tried to fill the shocks to the brim and it got pretty ugly, the shocks wouldn't compress at all and then the oil squirted out the seals when you squeezed hard enough

I just got around to buying the Losi 22s and the very first thing I noticed is the complete lack of downward travel in the front end ( DROOP ) but all kinds of upward travel. Without the droop in the front end I can't see how it would have any weight transfer. In other words the front tires leave the ground on launch and you basically have no steering for some distance and no squat in the rear . Can you do a video on how to remove the limiters from the shocks. If you put any real car on a lift the suspension will hang down for some degree but this car doesn't. Also if you push down on the front you'll see the car bottoms out. Ride height adjustment seems necessary but I'm not to sure how to adjust it.

@@RoadsideRC I had problems with mine picking the front tires up and just going all over the place. So I took the front shocks apart and took the travel limiters off and put it back together. Night and day difference. It’s still all box stock and will make back to back 2.72 passes on no prep.
@craigmolling4156
@craigmolling4156 5 ай бұрын
Tips are great but I’m wondering are you going to upgrade the suspension? The stock doesn’t allow for travel( squat) on either the front or rear which is what makes a full size car hook. Also the front has to much down travel. If you lift the car in front the wheels go up with it, they should remain touching the ground when the front is picked up and stay down until the lift has reached max height. Also the rear should squat past the point when the wheelie bar has touched, this allows the rear to load and slightly lift the front, transferring all the torque to the back but still keep the car going straight.

Why would people hate on you for XT90 connectors? They (Along with the XT60) are one of the most popular and effective connectors out there. In fact, if you look at the EC5 and the XT90 side by side, the only difference is the outer case shape. If you cut the thin plastic case away in the middle of the XT90, you literally have an EC5 with the exact round top and flat bottom shape!

Yes - I belive it is rather common to lock them. I assume you are talking about the rear diff.

I am actually still wondering why Losi shaped the rear of the body like that. I still havent cut mine down there but I'm not getting all that rubbing on it. I'd love to see a speed run before cutting it and after cutting it to see if it really makes a difference.

hey troy 😁, can i ask you about the main gear or spur gear of this car ? i got mine losi 22s camaro recently but i striped my main gear(the black plastic big 1 gear ) during the first run, after that i purchase Hot racing gear to replace it, but i notice the gear that i installed is wobble, why did it wobble ? no matter how i take it out or adjust multiple time and it still wobble, i prepare for the worst and go for a test run, surprisingly the car runs fine and i run it for about 30 minutes, is this normal or i just mess something up ? thanks 😊

Hi David. I am not sure why the gear has a wobble in it, but as long as it is running well, I wouldn't worry about it.
