anyone ran the car yet im intruiged as its such a losi 22 copy as to how it performs??

Gearbox looks further back

the promotional photos don't do the car justice. Parts of the front end are 22 like and the chassis shape, but very little else is a copy of the 22.

the only way i can describe it is a 22, 210, rb6, b4 hybrid.

I think my mind's made up, next payday I'm treating myself to one it seems like a lot of car for the money

For the money the H2 has to be the best quality and value for money on the market at the minute.

Mine will have its first real runout tomorrow so i will report back whether its good bad or otherwise,im actually quite looking forward to it.

There are only 2 issues i have found with the car.

1 - the shocks shafts are too short, and do not allow for much, if any droop when using the outer holes on the arms. Unfortunately the shafts are 3.5mm thick, so shumacher ones wont work in place. I will be trying to source longer 3.5mm shocks. In the meantime just unwind the shock end a few turns to gain a couple of mm.

2 - The rear suspension blocks and not screwed onto the chassis. When you remove the gearbox to do diff etc, the blocks are loose, so you end up with the arms, hinge pins and balls falling off. Will be looking at a way to fix these to chassis.

On the plus side, i got mine sorted today

Well today was the first time out with my H2 and i have to say im impressed to say the least,the car is so easy easy to drive,it feels very smooth and consistent,when the track was wet the car had grip but looking further forward i would like to try the diff with a thicker oil/grease as it felt it was diffing out a couple of times,but when the track had dried out some the car had some really good pace and felt it had come to life.

I had a feeling the car would be good but after today i know i made the right choice going for this car,value and performance what more could you want,

Finally yes i did try to break it,this is 1 strong car also.

Faster or slower than your previous car?

Had a go with very rusty thumbs and I must say very slight understeer not a bad thing at all easily the best out the box 2wd I have driven cheers jase for test

Did you make any changes to kit setup.

Its not quite as quick as my old car in the wet,but that i think is due to the setup but in the dry it was easily as quick,pleased with that as i had no real setup to work from,just guess work.

Main setup changes on mine from kit was,running the car in saddle pack,shocks out the back of the car and rear tower flipped,2mm spacers raising the front ball studs,80g weight under the lipo's,1 change i will look at for the next time out is,KROB mentioned he thought the front end was a little light which i would agree with,so i may look at adding 20g around the servo

to be honest if ure running near enough kit setup then i think its gonna be too stiff for the wet.

sounds encouraging. Gotta wait till the 8th to give mine a run

Sorry Steve i was half asleep last night and missed some bits out.

Oil wise,32.5 in the front,27.5 in the rear,i had losi pink rear springs and losi black fronts,if i had my other springs with me i may of gone yellow rear and blue front just to soften the car a little more.

Looking back at yesterday the signs are encouraging and there is plenty more to come from the car

Black front is pretty stiff isn't it?

I've loaded mine up with 3.5 front and 2.0 rear

I'm using Durango spring btw

Yeah black is the stiffest of the springs im pretty sure.

Seeing the combo you have gone for then my idea of blue and yellow would be much closer to yours.

yeh. IM gonna stick with Durango springs for mine. They are a more snug fit, but seem to be a better quality spring.

plus i already have l 3 spring sets so cheaper nlt to change to something else lol

Finished mine off today.I went by the manual and my mid motor layout looks different to others in this thread as the motor fits in from the opposite side.it all looks good though.
I'm going to mount my shox at the rear and may try TeamC/Ansmann driveshafts as they look a little beefier than the kit ones which seem a little thin to me.
Just need some proper rear springs as the kit ones seem too hard/long.
Also will try to convert to 12mm hexes on the front....somehow :)

Nick,check which gearbox casings you used as sounds like you may of used the rr casings and that's why your motor is the other way round.

Driveshafts are plenty strong enough,you wont have any issues with them.

Agree about the springs,im using losi 22 springs on mine,also steve on here is using durango springs so you have plenty of options.

Dont change the front end mate,i was going to do the same and fit ae wheels but after sunday the front end is dialled so im not going to touch that now

My kit's due to arrive today, I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into building it.

Any one using 2mm washers anywhere? thanks and what rate Losi 22 springs please
