Well, it took a while but I've now got the tuning kit conversion done. Pleasantly surprised as I didn't think it would make that much of a difference as you're basically swapping out parts for the same parts, just CF. But I can really notice how much it stiffens up the whole truck and makes it much tighter, much improved steering. Just a word of advice, it's not really worth doing unless you spend a little xtra and go with the CF towers and kick plate with bracket. IMO that's the key to the whole project. Thanks Losi, great product. And yes, it did come with instructions and the rear a-arm spacers LOL

Yes the graphite nose plate and towers do help a lot. The arms are stiffer with the TLR tuned kit so the whole package together really make a big difference.

Exactly. The only problem I encounterd was as the CF is so much harder, I stripped out the heads on a few of the smaller screws. Quick question Casper, I'm running a Dynamite brushless system. What motor would you suggest, as I have 5800KV and it's just waaaay too much power, the truck's basically uncontrollable in the dirt. Great for speed runs on the pavement though. Flips over backwards on command LOL

If you have to stick sensorless look for something in the 4000kV range. Still great speed but something a little more controllable. If that speedo does sensored then 10.5 range it what I like in these trucks.
Yeah I always pre tap my graphite with a 4-40 tap or at least use a cap head screw so you can use a more robust 3/32 driver to get the holes started!

Thanks. Installed a 3800 kv Castle Sidewinder brushless system and still lots of power but very smooth and much more controllable. The Slashes don't stand a chance now LOL

XXX-SCT super version
I am very new to RC, but have a Losi 22 kit, SCTE 4x4, and have ordered a 22T. I'm sure Losi is thinking about it but I believe a big seller would be an upgraded version of the SCT 2WD with the current tune up kit and other parts people have mentioned to make it into a first class roller or kit. I'll add the electronics of my choice. I'm ready to buy it.

Only complaint with the kit, it comes with the aluminum rear hubs, so why not the front spindles & carriers?? I was going to order them but they don't match because they're blue.

The alum rear hubs offer some tuning additons. The alum front caster blocks are just weight and don't break often if ever.
