NEW TLR 22x-4 Is it worth the wait?! First Thoughts!

[@gs817]

Great video Ryan. TLR is lucky to have you supporting their product.

[@RazorRC]

great video, thanks for sharing your experiences with the buggy, looking forward to seeing this released (hopefully soon)!

[@GrotrianSeiler]

I have to commend you, Ryan. These videos are so top shelf. Not just the production values, which are awesome, but the content of the videos, and the level of your builds, there’s just so much to learn from watching them. Everyone of us has a different level of experience in the hobby, you just have a knack of putting into words how it all works. Very cool. Subbed.

[@chrisnielsen5287]

Really like these videos, really well done. Quality video, oddly soothing with the music and your voice

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Thanks for the support man!

[@drluketheduke1531]

Yeah. Awesome job. I was like, 20 mins - I want more. Haha. I’m a noob and listening to him makes me want to learn more and more.

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

I have only ever raced AE stuff, and recently started running a B64 converted into a 4wd truck...my son raced it this last Saturday for the first time and is saving for an ET410.2.... I really wish AE and TLR would make truck versions of their newest buggies , the class would really take off if they did. This 22x-4 is really making me want to give TLR a try... between your video, and seeing a few run at recent races here in the NW, I really think it is a great buggy... TLR guys waited a long time for this one, now we shall see what the other brands do to to keep pace.

[@netcruzer]

Excellent overview and update on what you've done so far. I'd like to see a center diff, more droop, and holed ball cups for easier maintenance/roll center adjustments .

[@innovativerc7155]

Amazing Video Ryan!! Your Videos are always so well edited. I appreciate the effort you put into them. 👍Car looks great. It looked like you were in the lead in most of those races! Keep up the great work Ryan!! 👍👊😎

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Thanks man! I won the first 2 races and finished 2nd in the third race. Running 13.5 in the mod class was tough, but I gave em all I had :D

[@baggszilla]

Love it, and I watched that world's race with Dakotah Phend in Slovakia and that car was legit whipping the turns! Good luck and hope you can tone down that steering. Can't wait for the next video! Cheers!

[@joevasquez1776]

Wish more of this type of community conversations were out there . You are great Ryan!!!

[@situationaladventures]

That transition in first minute from the front ...to showing the rear was sick!

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Thanks for noticing that one! haha As I was shooting I thought "Oh cool, if I do a focus pull at the beginning and end of each, I can do this transition almost all through the camera!" Turned out nicely :D

[@gregcano417]

That’s my next car right there I got the Losy 1/8 scale elite buggy I’m waiting for my Losy 22 5.0 to come in. These buggies are really bad ass nowadays just getting back into the hobby when I was a kid are used to have all the cars that are vintage now 45 years old and I put together my first TLR 1/8 E Boogie and that thing rocks. Waiting for my 1/10 scale Losy 22 5.0 elite . And I found a local track to totally stoked I never race before thank you for sharing these videos he totally got me back into the groove again totally fun stuff man I learn off all your videos I’m located over here in California Fresno

[@marcst-onge]

Hi Ryan! Great video again! Bravo for the clarity you use to explain your views or your advice. I started racing in RC again this year. After 15 years of absence I wanted to buy a new 4wd Buggy. Since the start of this winter, I've been riding an RC10 B6D and a TLR SCTE 2.0 4wd! I watched your video on Team associated B74. I like the simplicity of Team associated and the ease found parts on our tracks in Quebec. But the TLR 22-X4 is also interesting. I’m an ancient Losi sold since 1997, I’ve been riding Losi XX and XXT, XXX and XXXT! But before I stopped, I had changed my cars to Team Associated, because it was less fragile, broke less and was easier to work and the parts were easier to find on the tracks in Quebec. Anyway, right now I'm hesitating between the B74 and the 22-X4. I would like to make the right choice, because at $ 700 (Canadian dollar) and more for a roller model, I don't want to be wrong! Without putting your head on the chopping block, you competed with the 2 models, which one did you prefer to start racing again? Can you guide me? And sorry for my english writting! I'm little bit rust! ahahahah

[@RyanHarrisRC]

Glad you're still racing! The B74 has a very nice quality and seems like a decent car. The biggest downsides I found with the car were stiffness and excesive weight. My B74 with Ti screws, plastic diff gears, ti turnbuckles came in around 1720g. My 22x-4 comes in at 1635g with titanium option parts and my selected electronic package. Fit and finish is excellent on the TLR as well. On track performance I honestly favor the TLR. The cars reacts quicker and carries much more corner speed. Hope this helps ya!

[@marcst-onge]

@@RyanHarrisRC Cool! Happy with your quick and clear comment! I will take into consideration what you told me in my choice of 4WD Buggy! I know that here at my local track, most of the guys are riding Associated B74. I like to be different from the others! I leave myself until the beginning of spring to think about the model that I am going to buy. I will listen to your videos again carefully! Thank you again and continue your good work to inform and entertain us!

[@fabriziobatisti9439]

Dear Ryan, I ran with Rc Cars for 20 years, and now I'm a mechanical designer for robotics company. I can't run anymore because I haven't enough time to do it, so your is becoming my preferite youtube channel. Thanks to share all your races, please think about to try rc touring cars (my preferite category)

[@aidanrc46]

Thanks for all you do for RC

[@drluketheduke1531]

[@controlledchaos2000]

Great insightful and honest videos! I really enjoy watching them.

[@solngv8]

I watched Dakotah Phend drive the 22x-4 at the recent Desert Classic in Arizona. He was in a league of his own against top drivers in the world.

[@dancarlos1216]

solngv8 It’s hard for me to believe I actually used to race against him years ago in the brushed motor days, actually won a race also. And Joe was a local guy also. Awesome to see them both doing well still.

[@tombaker1516]

Glad to see you went TLR!

[@CarbideGames]

Aloha Ryan, I really enjoyed this production. Nice job, and I’ll keep me eye out for more tuning tips that you’ve come up with. FWIW I built my production version of the 22X-4 a week or two ago and was shocked by how well made the whole car is. It is costly but I feel that the value is there. There are a few typos in the instructions but I can’t fault the vehicle for that. I’ve yet to maiden it as I received some bad Gens Ace packs and am returning those while also building a Tekno EB410.2, an Associated b74.1D, and a Schumacher L1 EVO and would like to get them all out on the bash at the same time to see which characteristics of each car I like over the others. I have driven the Tekno at the time of this comment since I had a Tekin pack in my inventory when it was completed and it was really very impressive out of the box, and the Losi came out a full 37G lighter OOTB with identical electronics, and that’s considering that the Tekno wiring is freakishly optimized (short) compared to the Losi. Anyhow, great work on your video and wish I could spend some time hanging around with you folks at those outdoor tracks-I’m using Holeshots and also grabbed some positrons, electrons, and Blockades to experiment with oh, and one set of honeycombs to start out with on the L1 Evo. We don’t have too many folks in the hobby out here (Big Island) but I’ll be making a track in red volcanic clay soil this year, and perhaps can attract some fellow enthusiasts. Keep at it, and if you make your way out for a trip ping me for some quality bashing. I’m easy enough to find online. Cheers!

This video has a real professional vibe. Nice.

Awesome looking car, I've not run a modern Losi and this is very tempting. Last Losi I ran and still own is a Losi XX-CR Kinwald. Racing in the UK and sadly TLR have all but disappeared from the race tracks. All Schumacher, Yokomo and AE. UK would be Astro

[@CoachD386]

Great video and very informative, thank you.

[@jcchaconjr]

Man, I was SOOO hoping that Mills Pond would be my first race back in almost 20 years, but my Daughter's Father Daughter Ball was that weekend - Oh well, Family first! Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting my 22X-4 as much as I am of getting my Elite on the track for the first time. Looks like I'll probably have time to build the buggy, but getting the electronics for it will have to wait a while... Again, Family first! You all be careful out there!

Thanks love your videos. The buggy looks the business. Thinking buying one. Is it easy to maintain like other modern buggies or do you need to pull the whole thing apart to access the gearbox and diffs? Thanks again. We mainly drive on dirt down here in Australia so good to hear about your set-ups for dirt as most others videos they talk about carpet.

[@martindouglas6538]

Hi Ryan. 23 year out the sport here in the UK. I was wondering if you could explain something to me. How do you control the pitch of the car in the air without reverse? Full throttle nose up, but without reverse switched on how is the nose dipped? As I said 23 years ago I was a young teenager and I wasn't good. Now 38 I doubt the break has made me pro ha ha. And when are you racing in the UK?

I want to buy a car but I'm confused.. I want a dirt car for just a local track loose dirt bmx style no racing track near me oh well.. but still like the look I have a serpent 881t love it but she a big girl lol ..they have dirt buggys clay ones carpet is it just the tires or more to the cars geometry?

Are you running slight positive camber in the front (may have missed in vid) Also.. Since we are all "grounded" How about a video sharing setup and tuning knowledge?
