22 woe's

[DCM]

Right, I seem to have tried most things and the blooming thing still doesn't have any low speed forward drive, it constantly wants to carry on going round.

I have tried

Rear and mid motor
moved the cells rearward in mid
less and more anti-squat
6 hole, 4 hole, different springs and oils

It is to the point where unless I start seeing any improvement, it is going to be sold, so unless I can get a marked improvement, it will be gone, and I don't want to do that, as I think the car is a good solid car, but it is pointless when your left as a sitting duck out of the corner.

Any help would be appreciated.

i have made the most improvement by making the rear link as long as possible and no rings on the hub
no antisquat
front silver spring (clay) and short link
it has taken my son a couple of battery,s but now he has the thing under controle or changed his driving style

have you tried moving the rear shocks out on the tower?
i did so on mine last week and it was a big improvement in this area!!

[Wacker1]

Buy an Atomic Carbon Tardis Conversion Kit for your Losi 22..........the amount of Forward Drive/SideBite it gives you is Amazing!

Since I've changed mine to it, its like a completely different Car to Drive!

........feels very similar to a CR2, but Jumps better, has abit more Steering & takes the Bumps as if they were'nt there!:thumbsup:

[DCM]

I can't justify that expense without knowing first hand, it would make enough difference to the handling.

Steve, tried shocks in many places, I just can't generate enough rear end grip at low speed.

[jonathan may]

do you have any weight in the rear ran mine for the first time on tuesday night on wet grass had load of grip.
maybe you have too much punch on the speedo or slipper to tight?

try running 3 small spacers/washers under the ballstuds on the rear.
drop the oil in your rear shocks to 27.5
and go back to the kit LRC block

I got my 22 yesterday, took up to my local track to have a go with it. i find the rear motor better for me but the same time the 22 feels like a xx4 to drive. it could just be how i got it setup but i was wonderin if you guys got the impression of a 4wd off it?:confused:
