The 22SCT™ 2.0 Short Course Truck Race Kit is the next step in the evolution of the championship-winning 22™ platform. Its uses front suspension advances adapted from the 22 2.0 buggy and all new rear suspension geometry to give drivers of all skill levels a short course truck that’s easy to drive fast. Other changes include a new bell-crank steering system, Gen II shocks with X-ring seals and a completely updated ball differential with tungsten carbide diff balls. The kit also includes popular option parts and an all-new, more durable body.

8. HDS slipper system with grooved slipper plates
9. Updated ball differential with tungsten carbide balls
10. Body mount braces, front and rear
11. TiCN shock shaft, inner hinge pins, and outer threaded hinge pins
12. Aluminum rear camber block
13. New rear hub with less wheel off-set
14. Aluminum clamping SCT +.75mm hexes
15. Aluminum ball stud washers throughout
16. Adjustable battery mounting for shorty or full-size LiPo packs
17. Rear motor configuration only. Mid motor conversion kit available (TLR338001).
Features:
UPDATED SUSPENSION GEOMETRY
The updated suspension geometry will help racers of all skill levels go faster. Revised caster blocks and spindles make the truck easier to drive around center without sacrificing any of the corner speed. They also allow the rear end to squat under throttle so you can accelerate faster. In the rear, a wider arm and less off-set on the rear hub make it possible to change direction more easily and make faster exits from the turn.
BELL CRANK STEERING SYSTEM
The new bell crank steering system now has bearings that improve steering response and eliminate slop. Ackermann angle has been reduced for more control on corner entry. This improves low-speed steering while making high-speed steering less sensitive and easier to control. Racers also have more flexibility in adjusting Ackerman than with a traditional rack steering system.
OPTION PARTS INCLUDED
An impressive collection of option parts are included that make this a ‘team spec’ kit right out of the box:
-Aluminum rear camber block
-Aluminum 22SCT +.75 clamping rear hexes
-Aluminum ball stud spacers throughout
-Ti-Carbo-nitride threaded front kingpin
-Ti-Carbo-nitride threaded rear outer hingepins
-OPTION PARTS INCLUDED
-ADJUSTABLE ESC AND BATTERY MOUNTING SYSTEM
ADJUSTABLE ESC AND BATTERY MOUNTING SYSTEM
Making its debut on the 22SCT 2.0 truck is a rear battery tray with a removable ESC shelf. This lets you mount the ESC directly to the chassis when running a shorty LiPo pack or a full size pack forward to lower the center of gravity in the rear. If you mount the shelf in the traditional ESC location, there is plenty of room for a full-size LiPo pack to fit underneath. This will move a higher percentage of the weight to the rear for looser tracks. An adjustable rear battery stock allows you to quickly adapt the battery tray for shorty or full-size LiPo packs. It also lets you mount them in forward, middle or rear mounting positions using no more than two battery foams.
GEN II 12MM BIG BORE SHOCKS
The Gen II shocks keep operating friction to a minimum without leaking or weeping oil. This keeps suspension response consistent and significantly reduces maintenance. They deliver a plush ride near the top of their travel but still provide plenty of bottoming resistance when landing big jumps. Updated parts include:
-Longer shock bodies and shafts for increased suspension travel
-CNC machined 2-hole 1.6mm and 1.7mm pistons
-CNC machined O-ring and guide bushings
-New silicone X-ring seals
-Ti-Carbo-nitride coated shock shafts
-Aluminum bleeder screw shock caps
-GEN II 12MM BIG BORE SHOCKS
OPTIMIZED 22 DIFFERENTIAL
The ball differential now features all new components that improve performance and durability:
Tungsten carbide diff and thrust balls
Larger OD diff rings with surface ground finish
Heat treated thrust washers
Gen II, one-piece diff nut
Outdrive with 2nd operation ring surface machining
Centering pins on the main diff gear
NEW 22SCT 2.0 BODY
Aggressive lines give the 22SCT 2.0 body more attitude. It’s also shorter which decreases high rolling body weight and increases ground clearance. It is molded from tough 1.2mm polycarbonate with fewer deep pull areas in the rear bed. This, along with the improved rear ground clearance, substantially improves the body’s durability. Scribe lines in the hood and bed show where to make cut outs so air can freely flow through the body during large jumps.
HARD ANODIZED 7075-T6 ALUMINUM CHASSIS
The strength and managed flex characteristics of this chassis make it perfect for competition. Additional milled pockets shave more than 10 grams from its weight without sacrificing any of its strength. The added pockets also let you mount the servo and ESC lower which in turn helps lower the truck’s center of gravity.
MID MOTOR CONVERSION KIT
The 22SCT 2.0 kit includes all the parts necessary for rear motor configuration. In testing, this configuration has proven to work well on all surfaces. A mid-motor conversion kit (TLR338001) is available separately that gives the truck better balance and makes it even easier to drive on high-grip surfaces.
