22 suspension setup

[Shaun_TLR]

hi all. my 22 seems to have a soft front end. Can anyone tell me what the standard wt shock oil is on the RTR kit shocks, as well as what the standard spring rates are?

Anyone able to suggest what springs I go to in order to stiffen her slightly?
thanks

Look at the parts listing for the rtr 22 on losi website and you should find the answers to what comes with kit,

Competition 22 comes with red front springs and 27.5wt shock oil,

depends whether you are running mid or rear motor, what surface you race on, grip levels and how bumpy it is to where you go next with settings... pistons make a big difference too!

it will be for a dirt set up out of the box as any Losi RTR would be as that is what the American market will be using it for.

this is the TLR spring ratings for front

Black springs are hardest at 4.1
Blue 3.8
Green 3.5
Silver 3.2
Orange 2.9
Red 2.6

On a mid car i run Black or Blue springs depending on grip levels and how bumpy track is... i also run 3 hole GurnellRC tapered pistons and 37.5wt oil as base setting for most tracks

we drive silver springs front 55 piston 30 oil on clay
stock is 27.5 red spring 55 piston not shure if thats is also on the rtr

ah ok cheers. im running on dirt and grass (alternating weeks) but on the grass the front end seems to dive noend and the turning circle is massive........... meaning I find myself hoving to slow right down to make it round a bend !!
