I sold my TLR 22SCT 2.0 on rctech.net, I just wasn’t driving the car very much and never really got along with it, to tell you the truth. I bought the car to experience what the Losi’s were all about, and to drive with my son in Rookie class. Towards that goal, the car was a success. But I found the TLR a bit fiddly, and I just could not really get it to put the power to the ground very well. It was a difficult to drive car, although it did force me to become extremely smooth. I always got a lot of compliments on my driving technique when I drove that car, because you really just could not make any sudden moves with it.
That said, I really enjoy my 22T 2.0 and plan to keep it for a while. I will probably also get a 22 3.0 some time in December, maybe even earlier if I can find a good deal during Black Friday.
On the plus side, with the funds from the SCT, I was able to pick up a car I’ve been wanting to get for a long time. The premiere 17.5 stock class buggy is the B5M Factory Lite, and Tower delivered it to my house today. I got most of the chassis and front end done in a couple of hours today, it’s off to shocks and rear end tomorrow and the diff and transmission Wednesday. With any luck, it will be ready by the weekend.
After having worked on TLR cars for the past year, it was actually nice to work on an AE car again. I was reminded just how elegant the cars really are, and the high quality of the materials. As much as I like to support the smaller companies, you just can’t go wrong with an Associated kit.
