New TLR 22X-T 1/10th Scale Stadium Truck Kit

Press Release From Horizon Hobby:

When Team Losi Racing unveiled the revolutionary 22 buggy in 2010, it jump-started the entire electric racing scene. This new 2WD platform was just the first in a series of winning TLR 22 vehicles that would all deliver top-level performance.

Now, a new era of domination begins with the 1/10 scale 22X-T 2WD Stadium Truck Kit. The TLR design team started with lessons learned from the World Championship-winning 22 - and from years of further platform development, all the way to the recently released 22X buggies. They emerged with a brand new stadium truck that's easier to maintain and comes optimized for dirt and clay tracks, with a ton of adjustability that makes it easier to drive faster on today's high-grip surfaces.

If you're ready for the podium, the 22X-T is equipped to take you there. Key improvements include a hard-anodized 2mm 7075-T6 aluminum chassis that's lengthened and optimized for today's higher grip tracks, plus adjustable body mounts and all-new front and rear arms. The buggy-length shocks and lower towers produce a lower CG, while larger, 13mm big-bore shocks with 13mm springs contribute to plush landings and quick cornering.

Two front caster block and spindle options let you tune the steering feel to what you want and need on different surfaces; options for wide or narrow king pin locations are available. The wide location provides a more linear feel and keeps the stadium truck flatter through the corners. For a more aggressive steering feel, you can choose the narrow king pin location.

The 22X-T also has a new laydown gearbox that offers easy access to the proven ball differential. You'll be able to maintain the differential and idler gear quickly without disassembling the entire gear box - a big advantage given that the suspension uses the gearbox for all of its mounting positions.

TLR includes many option items with the 22X-T to offer the maximum amount of tunability right out of the box. It also has many parts in common with the 22X DC and 22X AC Race Buggy Kits for easy parts sharing. The demands of 2WD electric racing have changed, as the tracks have changed from traditional loose-grip dirt to high-grip clay, carpet, and turf. With the 22X-T, you can adapt to any track and be fast and successful anywhere.
