Losi 22 4.0 Forward traction on carpet
Hi All
Really struggling indoors with my 22 4.0 with forward traction on cactus tyres when trying to apply power out of corners. Base setup is a copy of tyreman on here. I have laid my rear shocks down, thickened the rear oil in shocks to 500, blue associated rear springs, diff oil increased from 3k to 10k. (running optional gear diff) and thickest rear roll bar and lowered ride height to 16mm. All this helped a bit and had my best run, however if i am going round any kind of corner it feels like the inside wheel just spins up. If i am straight it is ok, just cant apply power coming out of corners. I think it is diffing out and lifting the inside wheel a bit. When i changed the gear oil from 3k it almost smelt burnt! Any ideas? |

Can you post a full setup, I presume your on EOS style carpet? You sound way to hard at the rear!

Hi, first of all, copy the Astro set up exactly out of the 22 4.0 instruction book. This is a very good base to work from. Then personally, I'm running red TLR springs on the back on EOS carpet.
Also if you are running the TLR geared diff, try 30,000 weight diff oil. This will give you more drive and make the diff feel more like a ball diff.

Thanks I will look at this. The gear diff is a bit odd with getting thickness right!

Hi, yes as its not a traditional design you need to run a lot heavier diff oil in it.
