In 2010, Team Losi Racing introduced the revolutionary 22 — a completely new 2WD platform that jump-started the electric buggy racing scene, launching a series of TLR 22 vehicles with top-level performance.

Now, a new era of domination begins with the 1/10 scale 22X AC 2WD Race Buggy Kit. TLR started with lessons learned from the World Championship-winning 22, and from years of further 22 platform development plus valuable racer feedback. The result is a brand new buggy design that's easier to maintain and comes optimized for astro and carpet 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 AC 2WD kit is equipped to take you there. Key improvements compared to the earlier TLR 2WD buggy designs include a hard-anodized 2mm 7075-T6 aluminum chassis that's lengthened and optimized for today's higher grip tracks, plus larger 13mm big-bore shocks with 13mm springs for 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 buggy flatter through the corners. The narrow king pin location provides the grip needed to be more aggressive on astro and carpet tracks.

The TLR 22X AC 2WD kit also has a new laydown gearbox design with an easy-access differential and idler gear. 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 points.

TLR includes many option items with the 22X AC race kit to offer the maximum amount of tunability right out of the box. After all, the demands of 2WD electric racing have changed, as the tracks have changed from traditional loose-grip dirt to high-grip clay, carpet, and astroturf. With the TLR 22X AC, you can adapt to any track and be fast and successful anywhere.

NEW LAYDOWN GEARBOX DESIGN

The new laydown gearbox design allows easy access to the differential and idler gear. The idler gear and differential can be replaced and maintained quickly without disassembling the entire gearbox — a key convenience because the suspension uses the gearbox for all of its mounting points. Multiple differential heights are possible, starting higher than previous 22 vehicles for current style tracks.

MULTIPLE KING PIN OFFSETS

Two front caster block and spindle options let you match the steering feel to different track surfaces with wide and narrow king pin locations available. The wide location has a more linear feel and keeps the buggy flatter through corners. The narrow king pin location provides a more aggressive grip and feel.

G3 13mm BIG-BORE SHOCKS

Larger 13mm big-bore shocks are included with the 22X for even better handling and cornering. They're paired with new 13mm springs to provide the proper support. The new shocks have updated G3 3mm internals while utilizing the current trusted seals.

ALUMINUM CHASSIS

Lengthened for consistency with current track types, the 2mm machined 7075-T6 aluminum chassis is hard-anodized for excellent wear characteristics and precision milled to flex in the correct places for optimal grip.

ADJUSTABLE CASTER

Caster adjustments on the 22X AC 2WD race buggy are made using included inserts. A wide variety of caster adjustment options — from -5° to 5°, in 2.5° increments — are available right out of the box. In combination with the adjustable kick up, this lets you go from 15° to 30° of total caster.

ADJUSTABLE KICK UP

You have more options now to change the chassis kick-up angle using the multiple shims included with the kit. Kick up can be adjusted from 20° to 25° in 2.5° increments simply by changing the kick shim under the front suspension.

CARBON FRONT & REAR SHOCK TOWERS

The 4mm front and rear shock towers are made of woven carbon fiber for rigidity and durability. The front tower anchors to the front bulkhead to reduce flex and increase bulkhead strength. The rear tower location allows for more wing adjustment, and for the rear diff to be removed without removing the gear box. Should a rollover occur, included shock tower covers protect the track surface.

STANDARD OFFSET FRONT WHEELS

The TLR 22X AC 2WD race buggy kit uses the industry standard offset 2.2” front wheels, giving you more brand options to choose from when completing your kit. (Wheels sold separately)

NEW BALL STUDS & ROD ENDS

The TLR 22X AC race kit features new ball studs and rod ends with 5.8mm balls for interference-free movement. The larger ball studs provide more undercut surface area to hold the rod ends in place while minimizing the friction in your suspension. The rod ends feature an opening that allows you to make quick and easy roll center changes without having to pop the rod end off of the ball stud.

REFINED STEERING GEOMETRY

Continuing to make the 22 vehicles the best-driving 2WDs Team Losi Racing has ever created, the 22X AC race kit features refined steering geometry for a smooth, consistent feel going around the track.

PRO-LINE SECTOR 22X BODY

Durable but lightweight, the Pro-Line Sector buggy body comes precut and ready for your custom paint scheme. Together with the low-mount front wing and Air Force 7” rear wing, the body offers great looks and adds to your vehicle's balance, grip, and stability on the track.

MULTIPLE STIFFNESS OPTIONS

Most of the 22X AC 2WD race buggy kit's glass-filled composite parts are available with a variety of stiffness options. You can optimize the balance and rigidity of the 22X using different stiffnesses in key areas throughout the vehicle.

VARIABLE HEIGHT AXLE (VHA) REAR HUBS

You can easily adjust the Variable Height Axle (VHA) rear hubs to achieve the side bite versus forward bite and roll characteristics you need — a design feature introduced and proven in TLR 22 series vehicles.

NEW ADJUSTABLE REAR PIVOTS

New rear pivots are included that use existing TLR 22 pill inserts for a large degree of adjustability, such as fine-tuning anti-squat and rear toe.

BUILT-IN MOTOR FAN MOUNT

The prevalence of spec racing has led to the need for many racers to install motor fans for keeping temperatures lower. Rather than an aluminum mount or double-sided tape, the 22X includes a built-in, molded fan mount secured to the mud guard. You can easily and securely install your choice of widely available 30mm x 30mm fans.

SUPER HEAVY DUTY SLIPPER (SHDS)

Introduced in the previous TLR 22 buggies, the Super Heavy Duty Slipper (SHDS) has been carried over for its effectiveness at providing consistent power to the surface. The layout of the slipper has been updated for the 22X to improve vehicle balance.

ALUMINUM PARTS

Many durable, lightweight aluminum parts are used in the 22X AC 2WD race buggy design — including the ball stud washers, rear clamping hexes, motor plate, axles, A/B front outer camber block, pivots, 25T clamping servo horn, and shock stand offs.

ADAPT TO ANY TRACK

All necessary parts are included with the TLR 22X AC race kit to give you a large amount of tunability right out of the box, without needing to buy extra parts.
