New option parts for the TLR 22-4

TLR 22-4 Option parts

TLR have announced 3 new option parts for their 4wd electric buggy, the 22-4. First off, the vertical ball stud mount using standard ball studs, and not washers, is 1mm lower than the stock 3/4/5 holes which the team has found to make the car rotate quicker without sliding. This new part is used on many key TLR 22-4 setups including Ryan Maifield’s 2015 Reedy Race Champion setup. Next is a steel version of the Front Pivot Brace that is superbly durable and over the last several months none of their team drivers has suffered a failure on this part. Finally the TLR race team had found they can easily run the side belt using the loosest (#1) tensioners, and an even looser option was needed for SPEC racing. After lots of testing, they found the ‘0’ side belt inserts to work well for most mod and spec racers in their 22-4s.

JConcepts B5M 4-hole rear ballstud mount

JConcepts B5M 4-hole rear ballstud mount

Coming from JConcepts and made for Team Associated B5M-based vehicles is an aluminium 4-hole rear ballstud mount. Offering two new, additional holes for camber gain adjustment as well as two standard holes the mount allows an in-between setting as well as an evenly spaced 4th hole all the way inside. In addition, the mount also features a setting which allows the racer to change the orientation of the mount to either -2mm or +2mm of inner ball-stud height. The durability in this mounting area has been put to the test with difficult race circuits and especially with the introduction of the T5M and the pending release of the SC5M. The JConcepts part therefore also has added thickness around the screw mounting holes, a thickened main connection U-brace and for twisting and bending resistance a thick rib added from the main body to the screw location boss. The part fits all M-series Team Associated off-road vehicles and it comes black or blue anodised.
