Diet RC cola

Frank Root posted his TLR 22T 2.0 setup from the Stock Nationals that he won, and I’ve been testing out some changes to my truck.  In particular, I’m digging the front green spring and 28mm F/R ride height.

I got rid of the brass rear pivot that has been a staple of the 22 series for so long, and with the lighter slipper I’m down to 913 grams (from 970 grams).  I have a lightweight battery in the works and will mount a new body (current one has been bedliner’d), so should be able to get down to about 850 grams.

Even just dropping 55 grams has resulted in a truck that accelerates better, and jumps farther.  I’m drinking the Kool-aid, and am loving the lighter car.  The car is driving pretty well, but more changes are on the horizon.
