As motor and battery technologies have changed over the years, so have the rigours and demands being placed on the chassis, suspension and transmission components. Recognising the old adage that "to finish first, first you have to finish", the TLR design team have strengthened all of the critical components in the 22 meaning less breakages and more potential for race wins. Hinge pins and shock shaft diameters have been increased, towers and braces thickened and yet, with the use of clever materials engineering, the overall mass of the TLR 22 can still be as svelte as regulations allow meaning that the increase in strength has not dulled the car's reactions or track speed.
The diameter of the transmission outdrives has been reduced to enable greater corner-speed, especially in medium to high-speed long turns and sweepers whilst the rear toe angle can be adjusted via optional alloy blocks from 3.5 degrees all the way to 5 degrees to suit driving styles and track conditions.
The front caster is also adjustable thanks to the spindle design and can be tuned from zero degrees through to three, five or ten degrees via optional spindle carriers whilst the front axles can also be configured as either in-line (optional) or trailing to suit the track conditions.
The 2.5mm 7075-T6 Aluminium Alloy CNC machined and milled chassis has been strategically lightened so as to maintain an optimal weight balance without compromising overall strength and the innovative steering rack design allows the steering servo to be mounted further forward thus placing more weight over the front-end of the buggy to improve on-power steering and handling balance and the narrow chassis width enables greater ground clearance during cornering whilst also further increasing the car's agility.
Power is nothing without control and helping to keep all four wheels on the ground are massive 12mm big-bore shock absorbers which adorn each corner of the "22" and which feature the same proven race-winning technology as the Team Losi Racing 8ight series.
Also aiding the 22's bump and jump handling ability is class-leading nose clearance to ensure that the 22 can land from even the most absurd nose-down angles and absorb the fiercest of jump up-ramps without the chassis bottoming-out or slamming through its suspension travel.
Gull-wing shaped wishbones help to lower the overall centre of gravity whilst ensuring that the TLR-22 has copious levels of suspension travel to handle even the roughest of terrains.
The overall stance of the TLR 22 is purposeful, contemporary and striking. It's rakish silhouette ushers in a new generation of 2WD buggy design where compromise is simply not an option.
