TLR 22SCT Bag B

So lunch time rolled around and I was starving, I think a break was in order for a burger. Then I was bombarded with work work, so now I’m trying to get as much done on this build before the weekend.

 

 

The SCT specific axles need to be assembled and slipped into the hubs. The truck uses the same larger outside bearing to support the axle. There’s no flat spot on the CV pin for the set-screw to grab on so make sure you use a good amount of thread lock to prevent the assembly from falling apart.

Ti-nitride pins slip into the rear arms and steel ball-type pivots slide over them before they are installed in the aluminum pivot blocks.

The tie rods were back! And now my fingers really hurt! But they are installed and the rear tower has been bolted onto the rear bulkhead assembly. This truck can be built rear or mid motor like the other 22′s and I’m trying the rear motor configuration first.

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!
