Yeah, they're Losi shocks. I use a TLR22 for my 2WD adventures and just happened to have a spare set of shocks, so I figured it was worth a try. They're almost a direct fit, you only have to add the 22 upper shock bushing to the shock tower screw, the rest is bolt on.
Tbh I didnt really feel much difference. Landings were perhaps a bit better, but overall it felt the same.
That 7th should have been a 3rd or 4th, the speed was there but the left center pulley wheel broke on two of the four qualifiers and left me with almost no drive for the last 2 laps on both occasions. Same thing happened again the last main, but this time it didnt cost me any places. Wasnt going to challenge Neumann and Ronnefalk anyway, but I'd have liked clear shot for the podium. Heading for the podium is a huge ask from 7th, in the end I finished 6th.
If any wants it, feel free to contact me and we'll work out a price. Its fitted with the ultra-rare, ultra-expensive and completely bulletproof Pumilio metal geardiffs, worth £100 pound a piece. Some hopups have been fitted, like alu rear 0 degree uprights and four titanium turnbuckles, the two steering ones are Lunsford Ti ones. Car comes with all the impossible-to-find alu bits like bulkheads, tower mounts etc as extra spares plus additional spares for nearly the entire car.
Ideally want to swap for an immaculate condition TRF502 w/spares. Alternatively a direct sale.
Reason for posting here is to give you fellow Tamiya nuts a heads up and price drop. Would like to see the car go to someone who already knows how to handle a TRF.
