Secrets of the 22

[The Pookster]

How about a thread of 22 top tips, not just set-ups?

Here are some of mine from a lot of testing in mid and rear motor:

1. The shock upper mounts, being plastic, baloon and grip the inside of the shock when tightened and add loads of friction to the suspension. I've sanded mine down a bit and always check the shock freely swings as I tighten the nut so it is just on the point of gripping. For me this is the biggest single improvement I've made to the car after I first built it when it wanted to go in circles when I touched the throttle and was the source of the car riding bumps badly.

2. On the mid motor LRC is best. Can honestly say everytime I move back to LRC traction and stability is better. Have given up on HRC now.

3. Running the hubs SWB on a mid motor really helps traction.

4. On high traction surface with a mid car lose the 50g rear weight as it turns sweeter and faster without it.

5. On medium grip grass run 50g rear with lipo weight for traction.

6. Add some toe out bumpsteer as this calms the front on turn in.
