TLR Blog Update:

Steering Link Ballcups
With all of my on-road experience I found that I can gain more steering link clearance under the TLR 22 front bulkhead using the JRXS Type-R Captured Rod Ends. These come 12 to a pack so you will have plenty for many rebuilds.
 
This is ideal for racers that use the Spektrum S6070 shorty servo where the servo spline is slighly offset to the right compared to other servos. In the photo below I am using a Spektrum S6040 servo.
 
 
Front Body Mount Mod
I found this tip from our Swedish TLR team driver, Otto Ausfelt, last year at the World Championships in Finland. He simply drills the front body mount out with a 1.6mm drill bit 90 degrees from the original hole allowing the body clip to insert from front-to-back instead of side-to-side.
 
 I suggest removing the body mount and drilling it while holding the body mount in a small vice or a pair of pliers.
