Default Losi 22 02

So I have taken the plunge and bought a Losi 22 02 and shall be joining you in the new year

Now are there any upgrades I should purchase for the basic kit, I have motor, servo, rx, esc, wheels and tyres etc I'm talking about what are regarded as necessary upgrades.

Many thanks in advance.

for club the 2.0 should be fine straight from the box,connors car is just about Kit, apart from the cab forward shell he now runs, I am going to fit the new TLR bell crank steering rack when it finally arrives at the shop as the standard one we find wears very fast.

But as said for club the car will be fine from the box good choice of car

Thanks, it seemed like the best choice, it may even be ready by the next meet! However I may not be lol, it's been a while and I may need a fair bit of practice!

A good choice in car. As Dave says the car is good out of the box although I would suggest a pair of green front springs as the kit ones are a little on the soft side for the grass track but are a good choice on the dirt.

Other than that it works pretty great out the box and should prove to be a reliable and competitive car for you to learn your skills with.

Oh and don't forget your tires and inserts.

As mentioned, I would first ditch the slider steering rack - not sure what TLR were smoking when they came up with that design. But good news is they offer a bell crank one like every other buggy out there - this should be part of the kit in my mind.

I have never seen a bad looking 22 2.0, they seem to jump really well and parts are really cheap.

Thank you everyone, I have tyres and inserts for both grass and dirt, so that's sorted

I have also ordered the front and rear spring sets!

I can't find the bell crank upgrade so that will have to wait until I can find who stocks/sells them.

Build has had to be put on hold because an idler gear was missing from the kit Would have been fine if I was building it rear motor, but I'm building it mid motor, but replacement will be here tomorrow. So getting there
