TLR 22SCT Bag A

It was a matter of seconds before I tore open the box, shipped the body off to Larry at Kustom RC Graphics while I build and pulled Bag A to get to work.

Up first is getting the servo together. I chose a Spektrum S6040 based on the completion guide on TLR’s website. The components are right from the 22 series of vehicles. Its a little difficult threading the ball cups together on the threaded rod so I reccomend using the old school method of adding a little grease to the threads so the cups screw on easier.

So this is a TLR build, but I have to give props to Brad over at Team Associated for clueing me into this Makita DF010D Cordless Driver. It drastically cuts down build time and the built in clutch prevents overdriving the screw into the plastic.

RC Driver Magazine Editor-in-Chief: My radio control hobby started in 1985 with a Tamiya Falcon. The first time I drove the buggy I finished 3rd in the A-Main out of forty-eight drivers; needless to say I was hooked. From then on I competed in a lot of races in many different segments. At sixteen I started my first job at a Hobbytown USA and at seventeen started as a contributing writer for an RC publication. A few years later, I started full-time as a magazine editor while attending college for graphic design. Little did I know down the road I'd be offered a chance to start up a new RC magazine. I jumped at the opportunity and with a talented group of professionals launched RC Driver Magazine. Throughout the years I never lost my passion for RC and spreading the word about this wonderful hobby. I hope you enjoy our magazine and website!
