Here it the build of the Team Losi 22SCT. If you have any questions, all you have to do is ask.

For some reason, this video is starting at 3:32. Make sure to start from the beginning. Not sure why this is happening.

It's not done yet. I'm still trying to figure out what paint scheme I want to use on it. I know my colors, I just don't know how I want to do them. I know just the paint to do this truck is going to run me about $60. So it's going to be a while. I had planned on racing this weekend, but I wasn't able to come up with the $140 for my transponder and race fees.

Have you broke it in yet? Don't want to go into a race blind.

Yes, I have taken it to the track and made a few laps with it. It has too much bite and I need to free the front end up a lot. Just going to take time.

If this was a touring car, you would be correct. However, this truck has a high CoG so any time I go around a hair pin turn, it flips. I need it to slide or "push" a little going into those turns. Just takes tuning. Hoping to get back to the track next weekend, but it's not looking promising.

Yup, it's all about the setup. Different springs, different shock oil, different shock pistons, different kick up, different camber and so on. I will get it dialed in.

I practice a lot more than I race. I don't like to be surprised when I get on the track.

Hey tony,
just caught this thread, been away for a bit!
Nice looking truck man!!
Keen to see how you set it up for a bit more slide and a little less bite!
I have to get mine out to the track, but I think I'm having similar issues to you, and would like to see how to overcome it! Good to see you having a bit of fun with a ground pounder again ;)

More than likely, I'm just going to make the suspension a little more stiff to keep it from rolling as much in the turns. I'm also going to be adding sway bars to it. That should be enough to reduce the traction in a turn to keep it from tipping over.

Ok i have the sway bars, so I'll need to do the shocks....
I think my problem is also the need to slow down a bit going into a corner haha
At least some extra ideas for me to think about to help get it all set up and sweet

There are no really big jumps. The impressive ones are on the outside track, but that is shut down until March of next year. And I do have some video of practicing. Just need to get it uploaded. I should be able to do that after the electronics install video is made public.
