Any more news on 22 release?

[pugboy]

I heard on the grapevine that the development team have been testing different materials for the gearbox inners after a few problems and that this had put back the supply date a few weeks from the original February estimate. I have seen a date of 20th March on some U.S. hobby stores. Just wondered if anyone had any updated news? Better to get these issues sorted than rush the launch I reckon. Not too long I hope as would like a few weeks testing before the outdoor season proper starts though if possible.

[millser]

anyone know the date of release yet?

[pugboy]

Some US hobby stores are/were listing them as in stock so must be imminent....

[Timee80]

just rang horizon. They said end of march/ beginning of april

[Whiskers]

Modelsport are listing it as 31st March :thumbdown:

[Ross]

Getting bored of waiting :(

[racingdwarf]

was told over the weekend by the top man that they will be end of this month, there is no probs with the car, just the factory making them,on slow due to holliday...chinese new year:cry:, giving TLR the run around

[NBLOY]

yay, just pre ordered mine with je spares :D :D :D

[Ben Turner]

Any update? Im guessing we can still expect it to arrive later this month?? Cant wait :woot:

[Legacy555]

I'd much rather that TLR have the bugs run out of the car and for there to be good availability of spares than to have the kit prematurely/too early.

Doesn't matter to me whether it comes this month or the next as long as it's right.

Todd Hodge tweeted that the cars were on the water today, so they are on their way!:thumbsup:

[racingdwarf]

Bloody boat will sink now:rolleyes::D

[Bagman]

Which water though? The Pacific or Atlantic? I bet it's the Yangtze river.

Yeah Shanghai to LA I reckon. I'd reckon they'll be in the UK shops by the 31st if that is the case. Fingers-crossed

[learnerdriver]

little birdy told me that there are 4x out to mags for review :p

[OneKiwi]

Im still considering getting one but might wait till there has been a little testing by the common folk and a few reviews

What mags are reviewing it early?

[NBLOY]

the first build step is the servo, looks like changing a servo could be a pain

[MattADH]

I believe this is partially correct as Racer has a 22 for review - online build starts today!

[jimmy]

Is that going to be on the rcracer website chief?

[Bagman]

Here you go gaffer

[jimmy]

Thanks boss, looking good. That chassis plate ooks nice.

[Bagman]

They probably should have weighed it with the sidepods on though

[JustARcFan]

How much is the weight of this car rtr?

thanks

[MattADH]

Not sure to be honest, but will have it on the scales once fully built

[stegger]

Looking well nice and solid just like a RANGO ! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

RRCI have one too ....:thumbsup:

[OneKiwi]

Q do you have to get those special shorter lipos to run the 22? Or are they just recommended? will stick packs work or only the new lipos and saddle packs?

Anyone know the battery compartment size

[c0sie]

Who is racing for the Losi team this year then??

That isnt up to date team list i dont see darren bloomfield he is now full time losi

[tony6187]

hes under their 1/8th team

[Delves]

No you don't have to get the 96mm battery to run the 22, a lot of the team have been running saddle packs in the car during testing. The short stick will be something the team will be playing with as it does free up a little more space in the car not to mention change the front/rear weight bias in the car.

[Ross]

Can we still run saddles and a standard servo ?

[Delves]

I believe so, in the space between the servo and the battery you would have the receiver and PT, and the ESC would have to be mounted on the motor guard as per the official chassis shots (I'm assuming you will be running in mid configuration).

If you can put a half size servo in it though you can get all the electronics in the space and run saddle packs. In all the testing done in the UK Andy and David ran saddle packs with a Castle Creations MMP ESC up the front and managed to get the micro Spektrum receivers next to it. Bit of a squeeze but it can be done.

[OneKiwi]

Little off topic but with the micro receiver does it have to be a spektrum micro to work with spektrum? Or are there other brands that work as well

Cool, I do have savox 1251, I think that's the number, but it's in my shark, but that should be up for sale as my local club does not have a championship for them anymore.



thank you :thumbsup:

[Delves]

I'm not certain I understand your question. The Spektrum branded receivers will only work with Spektrum transmitters and modules. If you are using a Spektrum module the micro receiver you need is the SR3500. If you have a DX3R (for example) you will need The SR3520.

Hope that helps a little.

[Northern Monkey]

Anyone noticed that Rossendale Models state that Horizon Hobbies (UK hopefully) recieve them on Wednesday and they will get them shortly afterwards!!!:thumbsup:

[simoncrabb]

I've been told similar by Horizon...

We've got a few from our batch with no-ones name on them as yet...

http://rclazy.com/blog/2011/03/14/losi-22-due-soon/

[Darren Boyle]

I think all shops were told the same today, but we were told to keep it quiet until they have confirmed they have landed :cry: looks like a few shops couldnt resist letting the info out, looking around the various forums.....

We will collecting our kits in person (if they all fit in our van), along with our full compliment of spares too and they will either be in the shop before close of business for collection or will be packaged up and with UPS that night for delivery the following day to each of our customers who are having them despatched (before some shops have even recieved them no doubt ;))

We will post more on our own website later this week as the arrival is imminent, some limited available stock is still available from our first shipment also.

[Northern Monkey]

DMS - thats great thanks for the info. Glad I have one coming from you guys if your collecting from Horizon...good job :thumbsup:

[MK Racing]

[Chris56]

thanks to the stig for driving the van and getting back in time:thumbsup:

Im buggered then - mines coming via Dave in his Chuckle Bus!. Let me know how the build goes.

Im trying to workout how much space there is behind the servo for an esc (hard to tell from the pics). I have the Savox 1251 (low profile) and a SP GT2 esc - will that fit behind the servo when running mid-motor?

[millser]

hope mines on the way in the post :thumbsup:order it from je spares
not had a new car since the xx came out looking forward to building the beast:thumbsup:
and take it for test run( will have to get the track all done asap)

[Aran]

Judging from RC Racers build blog its looking you could get the SP gt2 in there but you may have to stick the receiver on its side like on the Durango.

Maybe someone from TLR or someone who got theirs (Marc Knight) can tell us some measurements? :P

[Darren Boyle]

Just got back from UPS, 35+ kits sucessfully shipped out to people all over the UK and Europe, the UK destinations will recieve theirs tommorow (before some shops even get them ;)) and the ones going to Europe should all be recieved by the weekend (you will all now have tracking numbers in your inboxs to follow your parcel on its route)

Another 12 kits have been collected from the shop tonight by locals - and not so locals who could not wait (happy building everyone), 8 more still here to be collected or shipped tommorow (combined with spares - which we will have in house tommorow) and we still have approx 8 more kits left here for sale if anyone is still looking for one -our price £190.95

[raymondkerr]

Just got my UPS tracking email, lucky I'm off work tomorrow, great timing, can't wait to start the build. Thanks again to DMS for their fantastic service.
:thumbsup:

[RDG 40]

me to its fell on my weekend off! BONUS

[Chris56]

Just picked mine up - now where's my hex driver set gone........

[PaulUpton]

Guys pay attention to the instructions, take note of the M sections when doing mid motor.

And have fun doing the turnbuckles :thumbsup:

[ianjoyner]

Just received mine, order only placed yesterday afternoon - thanks DMS. I'll hopefully give it a run at South Lakes on Sunday.

[simoncrabb]

We all must take our hats of to Losi and Horizon, these kits are out pretty much on time, and in greater quantities than we expected too.

Looking forward to seeing loads on the track.

:thumbsup:

Use some chapstick on the threads;). That is a tip from a US team driver.

[orinoco]

Got mine before lunchtime yesterday, just to say thanks for a great service and constant updates from DMS. Cheers Darren. Now the build begins. Anyone got any rubber thimbles for those pesky turnbuckles....:lol:
