My comments are for this and all the other vides I watched produced by The RCNetwork, thank you for taking the time to inform the RC community. Being new to RC, the videos have reduced my learning curve for all things RC in the world of short course trucks and buggies. RCNetwork videos has proved invaluable in expanding RC knowledge and experience. The production of each video is well thought out and focused. Thank you very much RC Network.
Wow, John, thanks for the nice comments. It's a lot of work to produce these videos, but quite worth it what people are seeing the value. Thanks again!
Been running this for a few months. Have 2. One on carpet and one on high bite clay. So smooth. Very little upgrades needed. Mostly kit setup, minor adjustments. Highly recommend
Yes! Definitely going to be getting one soon! I go to OCRC! Awesome Buggy! Your set up is Very nice and clean! Thank you for the video! Well done Richard!
Quality build, white motors wires are a nice touch. Currently building mine, coming from 1/8 losi cars it’s an easy build as the design is very similar. Can’t wait to drive it.
I like your set up. I’m getting ready to buy myself my first buggy. Your set up gave me some good ideas. I’ve been into the RC scene most of my life Just never purchased a buggy. Was always into bigger bashing trucks e maxx, x maxx etc. looking forward to this build
Wow another super clean build, loving all the electronic choices in there glad the servo fit with zero issues! The weight difference is not quite as big as I expected but as you say very sleek looking especially vs the Tekno! Appreciate the comparison!
Thanks for stopping by! Besides the Alum servo horn, the 22x-4 is stock...the EB410.2 has a few Titanium upgrades.....so it might be even higher stock vs stock
@@TheRCNetwork Yeah no doubt! I actually had their first 4WD buggy ever and wish I would have kept it. Looking forward to your EB48 2.0 running video (if you're doing one).
Hi Rich how are you? Great video on this Team Losi car. My question is: will it be advisable if for instance the Rear wheel we use also the the size of the front wheel? So all 4 front wheel size we use in the car. Because the front wheel is thinner. And I want to use Pop Hop Tamiya's tyre that has Spiky look in all 4 wheels. Thanks for your views.
I highly doubt it - the rears have so much more that will sit into the front arms, likely causing steering issues, not to mention it will probably drive terribly.
Nice. Wonder how steering slop will be. Would be interesting wheels with spokes. Wonder if that motor vents better. Nice finishing touch with the Futaba radio. I have the TLR scte 2.0 with an older Tekin system.
I didn't notice any slop to date....but we will see. Spoked would be cool....but then you'd be "that guy".....if the G4 motor doesn't vent well, I don;t know what would help it!
AWESOME buggy. I'm going to have to save and get one. Your videos are great. I bought that kyosho ready set buggy after watching your vid on it. Last losi I had was a Brian Kinwald edition years ago. Sorry for spelling
Rich, I’m am currently building my 22x-4 based project on your build. I was wondering if you could tell me what size servo shims you used which came with the kit. .5mm 1.0mm 2.0mm as the shims are not listed for Tekin. Thanks,Josh
I really like RawSpeed RC wheels on my 5.0, but their rubber hasn't had good enough lifespan for me on my local clay track - they just wear into slicks after one day. But the wheels are better balanced than anything I've tried so far.
Sorry to hear that - some clay tracks have a lot of sand . mixed in for grip - causing excessive wear. My local track does not - making tires last pretty long
HI Rich , nice video as always but are you able to put the included fan on the RSX pro ? does it fit with the body on ?? I say this because a cooler ESC is always better, I wonder the temps( motor and ESC) after a 5 or 7 minutes of hard driving at OCRC. Thanks
When I checked coming off the track, I was at 107-110 running to 3.85v/cell. Not too bad at all! I haven;t tried mounting the fan, but I don't think there would be an issue
I'm still biased toward Tekno. I just feel much more confident driving the EB410.2. The 22X-4 just seemed fragile and slightly finicky. It was very smooth and quiet though
Looks like an awesome build! I'm not really into racing, nor do I have any local tracks, but would love to build one of these high-end race kits - just because they look pretty sexy. Would you ever recommend running one at a local parking lot... Meaning will they handle a very flat & fast surface, or should I stick with an Infraction for that? If no, what other surfaces could be considered? I've had my eye on the TLR 8ight XE for a while.
Not sure if you are sponsored so excuse me if I’m putting you on the spot, not my intention. Anyways, I am thinking of getting back into the hobby. I did just by a rustler 4x4 and am having a blast bashing. So my question is this. I’m going to get a kit and I am deciding between this kit and the new tekno 4x4 truggy kit. Any pointers or opinions?
The ET410 (Tekno's 1/10th truggy) is a blast to drive - much wider than a buggy (like the 22X-4) . It also accepts standard Stadium truck wheels/tires or SCT wheels/tires. between the two - the 22X-4 will be more mainstream - or more opportunities to race (if that's what you're going to do)......some places have adopted 1/10th scale truggy classes, but only Tekno and Xray have an official 4wd truggy - some places have allowed 1/10th truggy to race with SCT.
hey boss im in the market for a new 1/10 buggy for the first time. is there a buggy that would work well on both carpet and dirt? (i see there's usually seperate models) should i wait til winter passes for some potential new releases? thanks in advance
For 4wd 1/10th buggies, there's usually only one model. Some manufacturers have 2 different models for 2wd buggies. I've never ran on carpet, so I'm not the best knowledge for that. My EB410.2 from Tekno is a solid dirt car though.
Some, you can adjust the height of the body, like Shortcourse trucks through the body mounts.....but otherwise, adjusting the shock collars lowers/raises the entire chassis/body
Treavon Brooks it should.....I haven’t seen anyone saying there was issues with the ProTek - I remember Savox. My Tekin had no issues with zero body rub.
I would NOT use graphite for modified.....graphite is for stock class to remove additional weight. In Mod, you don't need to worry about that....just put the finger on the trigger!
@@TheRCNetwork don't get me wrong .. love my eb410.2.. but the local track to me doesn't carry Tekno stuff, they don't even want to bring parts in for it or order them for me. So I end up driving an hour and a half to the other local store to get parts or I have to order online.
Hey man quick question. I put a reedy 10.5 censored motor in my proline pro 2 sct 2wd. It’s running hot on 16 , 19 , 20 , and 23 pinion gear. What should I do?
Heat comes from different things: Terrain? Weight of truck? Free drivetrain? ESC and Battery? The reedy 10.5t should be fine for the Pro2, but not ideal. It's a 2 pole motor, so doesn't have the best amount of torque like a 4 pole motor will have.
Yeah I ended up putting a 15t pinion on an 86 spur. I can put my finger in it for only 5-7 seconds. Replaced bearings. Running 2s. My gearbox is a little more stiff so that could be it. I’ll figure it out. Thanks
i a A new conmmer, I have built a few carsl. I really want to build this one, but i fear i will hve no where r0 radce it.i have also heard no one wants you tro radce 4x4 indoors. Any thoiughts?
When the track by me was still open, 4wd buggy (1/10th scale) was the second most popular class next to 2wd buggy (1/10th scale). I'd make sure there's classes near you first before you commit to it. Also, look at the Tekno EB410.2 - I think it's a bit better first time build and drive over the TLR. I also have a series on the EB410.2 on my channel
Dang so cool, but I just see my wallet getting empty. I really want to do a kit, but I haven't done this since the 80s and I can see a grand gone quick with these builds.
White wheels, FTW! 😃👍
Was looking forward to the yellows🤣

By far the best review videos on RUclips
Thanks Mike - I appreciate the compliments!

Glad to help!

Nice! The 22X4 is a great rig, especially for your first buggy!
Just ordered mine
Nice! Enjoy the build!
love the low profile and cog.
Yep, should be dialed!

You should! Thanks for stopping by!
Getting mine Wednesday! Excited. Great vid!
Nice! Have fun building!
Man, I wanted to see it rip !
Me too!
Sweet overview, Rich. Love that servo.
Thanks Steve! Yeah, the servo blew me away.....I usually hate re-centering servos
I'm a Tekno guy but that is a nice looking wheeler!
Me too! But, you can't deny that TLR makes some great stuff!
@@TheRCNetwork Yeah no doubt! I actually had their first 4WD buggy ever and wish I would have kept it. Looking forward to your EB48 2.0 running video (if you're doing one).
Your Buggy looks pretty sweet. I just got a 22 5.0 DC kit I’m going to start building.
Nice! I've been wanting one of those
That’s one good looking buggy, Nice job man!..
Thanks Buddy!
Thanks for the vid! Love the content. Yup... #teamlosi since the 90s.
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Perfect timing im thinking about ordering one
The link is down in the video description...Amain has them in stock!
Great reveal Rich👍👍 Love all the hard work that went into this👌
Thanks 👍It was a fun build, and I got to take my time with this whole "stay at home" order.....got to really make it perfect

Nice AA! The ready set is a great buggy....and that BK Losi, I bet is cool! Thanks for stopping by!
Looks good! Light too 😱 I'm telling ya, gotta drive it around the driveway just so we can see it move 🤣
I know! I have three kits now with nothing more than driveway time....
Beautiful!!!!
Thanks buddy!
3:11 looks like miniature nuclear reactor!
Quite possibly!
any plans on getting the team associated RC10B74.1?
Not a fan of the Team Associated stuff lately.
@@TheRCNetwork gotcha! I’ve been subbed to you for a while and have always appreciated the quick responses! Love your channel👍
Rich,
I’m am currently building my 22x-4 based project on your build. I was wondering if you could tell me what size servo shims you used which came with the kit. .5mm 1.0mm 2.0mm as the shims are not listed for Tekin.

Hey Josh, I honestly don't remember. You just don't want your servo to hit the deck so to speak.
A fly must have landed.. good one :-)
Yeah, I said one thing.......took a shot after and saw that it was 1 gram higher....dang!
How long will it take to look this clean again.
Not too long, I run on clay tracks. Just a quick air off and wipe down and you're good
Nice video again sir!
Thanks buddy!
Looks awesome 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
good job rich
Thanks CB!
Car looks great. I am curious if it develops that infamous "Losi slop" like the 8th scale car?
Hopefully not....it doesn't appear to have anything right now

@@TheRCNetwork they worked well while they lasted! still using their wheels but I'm back to the webs.
are those 2wd frt tires or 4wd they seem narrow
They're 4wd - the RawSpeed wheels are the identical width to the TLR's that were included...I thought they looked narrow too
Great build RCnetwork, did you have to shim or do any modifications for those wheels? Thank you.
Nothing at all
@@TheRCNetwork thank you!!
Always wanted one but a good job in you hand 👌🏽
Thanks George!

Nice ride 👊
Thanks ✌
After running them for a while now, would you say the TLR design is better than the Tekno or vice versa?
I'm still biased toward Tekno. I just feel much more confident driving the EB410.2. The 22X-4 just seemed fragile and slightly finicky. It was very smooth and quiet though

If no, what other surfaces could be considered? I've had my eye on the TLR 8ight XE for a while.
1/8th scale would be more inline with the infraction - like the 8ight XE - it will similar with size, but way better (higher end) components.
Sweet. Does it have front and rear gear diffs or ball diffs ?
Gear diffs f/r with a center slipper.....but an available center diff as well.
@@TheRCNetwork Nice thanks. The place you got your wire holders are out. Do you know anyone else that sells them ?
You sound just like Josh from "Let's game it out" right down to the overlapping audio edit style!
I'll have to check that out

jippp beast
Expensive set up 👍🤔😷
It's a hobby that I enjoy....so, well worth it
Great build and video! Really liking the Tekin EcoSystem! No fan for a 6.5?
I'll try with out....it shouldn't need it though
Did TLR use a different offset for the wheels? Are you having any issues with the fronts rubbing at full turn?
Front wheels now a new offset.. have to order the new version 22X4 fronts...
I heard it's off by just a mm or so....mine had no issues
Would you recommend I do the same setup for 13.5 or would you change anything?
I would start with the stock set up and move from there.
Only a 2s fits in there ?
It's only intended for 2s and really doesn't need more. Of course, there are 3s shorty sized Lipos now though
Could you change the height of cars with no suspension
Some, you can adjust the height of the body, like Shortcourse trucks through the body mounts.....but otherwise, adjusting the shock collars lowers/raises the entire chassis/body
Will a standard protek servo fit just bought one and I have a ss wonder if it will fit
Treavon Brooks it should.....I haven’t seen anyone saying there was issues with the ProTek - I remember Savox. My Tekin had no issues with zero body rub.
How did you get your hands on the T-180?! Amain has been sold out for months
I got it direct from Tekin
Nice video! What turn motor do you recommend for a proline pro 2 sct 2wd?
The old 2wd? I'd get the Tekin Pro2 - 5100kv would scream on that! The Pro2 will have more torque that the SCT would need
Man I want that Tekin G4 motor so bad lol. Nice video as always!
It's an amazing motor....well, looking at it for now.
Nice well done 👍👌👍👌
Thanks Pat!
I’ll look for your car at OCRC when this quarantine is over. 👍
Deal!
Not bad man, that thing looks sleak!
Thanks Eric! Hopefully it drives as good as it looks
Hi all,
Can someone please explain me benefits of graphite did gears? When do we use it and is it strong enough for Modify class?
I would NOT use graphite for modified.....graphite is for stock class to remove additional weight. In Mod, you don't need to worry about that....just put the finger on the trigger!
🔥🔥🔥
I agree...now, if only a track were open!
Does it not look like a B74?
Or the XB4, or the YZ4? They're all looking similar these days...there's only so many configurations for a 1/10th scale shaft driven car
Nice ! 👍🤓🇦🇺
Stay safe Rich. But keep RCing🤣🤣
Thanks buddy! You too
Wish i got this over the tekno
Really? They're two different buggies, that's for sure....

does every youtuber go to broad casting school? They all have the same voices and cadence in speech. Good video, very informative.
Thanks for the compliment.....it's also the editing/jumpcuts that give that cadence
Dang so cool, but I just see my wallet getting empty. I really want to do a kit, but I haven't done this since the 80s and I can see a grand gone quick with these builds.
Yeah, 4wd buggy is an expensive class. Especially good quality electronics and then wheels/tires are expensive too
Must have $1500 in this
No idea...as the radio/batteries change from car to car
From a technical standpoint, it's a great rig and very cool. But god am I fed up with the boxy and ugly cab-forward design.
I agree on the bodies and the technical standpoint!
sexy
Thanks buddy!
TLR make the best kits afaik and Ive had many of them but this is now way to expensive........so I wont be buying it
It can be built for less (electronics wise) but the 22x-4 is right in line for a top quality wheeler with all that Carbon and Aluminum
