Cermaic diff balls (geared diff when it's released)
Nicks tapered pistons (3 or 5 hole work good on UK tracks)
Rudebits under lipo weight, 74g is a good all round weight (side pod weights also work well)
lots of rear tyres as the 22 eats tyres, I can feel the difference after a couple of races from new.

Speaking of tires. WE run the shummi mini pins. They have a very short life. Some guys change them every 2 races. I try to make them last but after 4 race nites they suck. yellow or blue compound seem to wear out just as fast

I'd say 5 degree caster blocks, XXX4 Aurora ear wing and some springs.


Where's slowbob getting tires from at £5.99 a pair, last time I bought schumachers they were almost 8quid a pair!

what are people using as stand offs when you are making your own lipo straps? would the B44 ones work?

Is there any one making a strap and or esc holder (mid motor) here on oople

new tyres every run

22 seems to only work on high traction tracks, and tends to get more rear end happy than any other car I've had/own
