Who me? Yeah like I say it fits, but not very well, it touches the ESC and capacitor.

Looks like a better fit with the losi LiPo.

Ive got the GTB as well, i couldn't get it to fit nicely with the shell on :(

Sorry if the pic is big I'll reduce the size once I get home,

Looks like the way to go, is take the battery support put :)

Hey,

Novak are now doing a smaller cap for the speedo.

Lightweight Power Trans-Cap Module - 2S LiPo (#5678)

Might fit better for you.

MiCk B. :-)

Odd choice of lipo(s) :p

Mainly did that to get the size of the saddles i`m getting that mr postperson has yet to deliver.

Oooh that would help. I think I'm going to mount the ESC above the LiPo, it ran quite hot today, I used to get away without a fan on my B4, but maybe being more enclosed on the 22 is too much. There's no way a fan will fit as it is, I'm going to add a plate or something where the rear battery strap is. The ESC will be lower and there's space for a fan then.

If you've got them, small electronics are the way to go!

Here's a couple of photos of mine, certainly not a lot of space but there's always a way around things :)

Hi guys... I'm due to get my 22 next week and cant wait!

but few things i wanted to ask people in preparation for when I get mine...

Firstly, why are so many people wiring their car so that they squeeze their speedo and receiver together upfront behind the servo instead of mounting the speedo on the specially designed plate covering the motor (this is for the mid motor build - I'm from UK so this is what I'll be running). Having motor wires sprawled all over the car looks messy as apposed to the simple neat and tidy way of having short motor wires with the speedo at the back of the car! Is it for weight distribution or is there a problem with speedo clearance on the bodyshell if you run it at the back??? or is it simply because this is how all previous mid motor cars have been wired?

And also, I'm unsure of what electrics to get! I had to sell up a lot of my kit at the end of last year so I have the joy of replacing them for this years outdoor season with the 22. Last year I ran a 6.5 brushless motor with a Nosram Pearl Evolution, and Vampire 4400 40c Lipos and I found this to be very driveable and competitive. However I'm now looking at buying the Pearl Evolution Version 2 with the additional boost and feel settings as this is the latest technology... but do I stay with 6.5 turn motor and buy new Lipo's with a 35/40c rating or do I go down on the motor to a 7.5 turn and go for the newer 60c lipos that are available??? I've been told that 6.5 turn with 60c lipo's is likely to be too agressive and so will be a right handful to drive!

I would appreciate any advice that you have to offer.....

Many thanks, Jon! :thumbsup:

Hi Jonathon... long time no see...

whats the wavey carbon fibre bar you have running over your lipo's... thats not standard is it???

What is it and what does it do???

Speak soon, Jon! :thumbsup: 22 :thumbsup:

I´m getting jealous =( I´m here waiting for my car !! I want it now !!!

Wacker! the main reason i believe people are running there speedo's up front is because your mtor gets hot and it will transfer its heat to the speedo! Well thats the reason mine is going up front.

Here we go!

Mines going rear motor for now! i want to compare it to the B4 i drive.

And to compare to the B4

Not much CF in there Mr AC........

hmmm wonder what you have in the pipe line...:woot:

holy shit can you put them rear wheel nut to rear wheel nut please and take a pic the losi looks massively longer than the b4 or is it

Heres mine... Just need black wires instead of red :blush:

the 22 is much longer than the competition !!!! :p

Size matters! :p

really??? wow thats mad

WELL!!! i never thought i'd see the day.......JC having a std car:woot:

Here is mine all ready to race mid engine with tekin pro, futaba 2.4 and small lipo. All on chassis, nothing on rear motor plate :thumbsup:

Nice install fella :thumbsup:

cheers buddy, this is the layout that Darren Bloomfield is running:lol:

I think it the picture! the back were pretty much in line ( I think! )

B4 wheel base = 273mm

22 wheel base = 285.5 mm

12.5 mm diffrent...

Well there are some little mods on there, I managed to get one bit of cf on there lol, but new proto cf parts should be on for it's 1st run next weekend ;)

hahaha, didnt think it would be long. Nice one:thumbsup:

Good work!

It certainly requires some creativity with the wiring. After lots of messing mine is presentable but my castle speedo means can't fit everything on the chassis. Gonna try routing motor wires back under the guard as you have as not sure my shell will fit as is.

Car built and electrics installed just waiting for a shell now.

I still think it was one of the easier installs to get neat.

I think the Losi LiPo is the best way to go, it looks to leave room at the side :thumbsup:

Just copy my install why don't you! ;)
much neater though with the 'minibrick' lipo in.

Shell is on the way dude. :)

wow was waiting for this thread to happen... some really nice wire work there dudes.....
those big bore shockers look awesome.....

oldtimer's install wins for me...:thumbsup:

How are my 1400mah nicads gonna fit in?


LOL

Dude... Yellow wheels! get some white stickers on them at least :p

Got mine today, going to start the build ASAP.

It aint your 1400 mAh nicads that will be your problem - it'll be your resistor speed controller with its 2nd servo and your 4-cell Rx pack :woot::woot:

But I'm sure you'll find a way JB

nice and tidy old timer.

here is how i have got the electrics in, plenty of room for me :p

Lots of room when you put the electronics where Losi intended :)

Easy to swop to running saddles or the new small lipo as I don't have a load of electronics shoe-horned into the front. Could also run a normal stick lipo (there's room with a low profile servo) if I popped the receiver on top of the lipo.

Just need Jonathan to bring out a nice carbon battery bar instead of the straps :)

Ran it like this indoors, with no cooling cut out's in the shell and it barely got warm, so can't see heat being a problem at all.
