TLR 22 2.0 What Spares do i need???

[milesallen]

After a very long lay off from racing 20+ years its time to get back in the game.

I've smashed the credit card all over the net and bought back in, decided 2 wheel drive and for no real reason elected for a 22 2.0 was a Kyosho man back in the day to be honest apart from the electronics it doesn't seem to have moved on a whole lot (i'm sure many will disagree on that) anyway some pointers on the vulnerable points would be greatly appreciated so i can stock up on a few bits etc.

The car will be running at the Bury club in the near future, it's having team orion r10 esc orion 7.5 t motor, sanwa gemini x, savox servo etc .

Any ideas on whats going to break first, by all accounts they are pretty tough

Cheers

Ive been running mine a year now and all I have broken off the top of my head is one front shock tower and one front wishbone. It was in the same crash and it was one hell of a crash

Maybe some rear hubs wouldn't hurt just incase the ball stud rips out which is something I have seen but not happened to me. maybe a set of hubs, wishbones, towers, just the obvious stuff. That would be a good start.

If you are running on astro/high grip I highly recommend the gear diff. It makes the car easier to drive and is less maintenance.

Apart from that if anyone else has any suggestions? Welcome back

already ordered wishbones, will get shock towers and rear hubs too.

for me it was a Shock tower, upper bulkhead. it is really strong car.

agree with the others, i have done a wishbone, front shock tower, and a rear wishbone. But thats all in 18months. Its a really strong car. I went a bit spares mad when i came back, but its not really needed.

Some diff spares are also good to have, I have cracked a thrust washer in the diff as i ran it too long between rebuilds with carbide balls. And i have also seen a couple of people snap the diff screw through too much adjustment.
