TLR 22 5.0 ELITE || My current setup 

Honestly, I hope TLR really appreciates what you bring to the RC industry and just how valuable of an asset you are to the team… love all of your content, not just an incredible driver but obviously a very talented photographer and all around individual. I’ve literally been going back and forth on which kit I should buy (the TLR Elite, or the AE) and just when I’m about to make the decision, I watch a video you put out and now(because of YOU) the decision was made and my elite kit is due to arrive tomorrow! Thank you for being the kind of person/professional for anyone who’s looking to get into this wonderful hobby and aspire one to follow in your footsteps… can’t thank you enough, appreciate all that you do and please continue to do what you have always done. I look forward to more content in the future.

Great video. I enjoy hearing your perspective on things. Can’t wait to test and tune some of the things you have mentioned and see how it works for me.

SUPER informative and enlightening. Great delivery of this info. Thank you!

Another great vid. Picked up a 22x4 during this lockdown and can't wait to get it on the track. The build videos that you did with TLR were great and I used them during my build!

Thanks for another awesome video Ryan! Really enjoyed this and well needed! 😊

Thanks Ryan. Just bought the elite kit today.

Hi Mate, just wanted to thank you for all your videos, they are absolutely fantastic and helpful, cheers mate.

Nice vid man! I have been a tlr fan for a few years and was stoked when ya made the switch. I have to say I have friends who run team ae that are bummed out lol. Thanks for putting out good content no matter what kit your running. Keep up the good work. People like you really make a difference in the hobby. Hope to get to the track soon!

Just found your channel, been binge watching episodes, hands down best RC content on RU-vid.

Very well put!! Or explained!!! Yes I'm now following you sir!!! And I'm a fan of HOBBYWING!!

I feel you on the front wing for sure! I have an AE6.1D I put a front wing on.. completely changed the feel of the car! The steering response/front end bite was awesome. Never ran a top wing though.

Very good info as always Ryan. I really like that buggy and when I am ready to buy new it will be this buggy. Thanks.

Nice work man keep it up I am really enjoying your videos and I can’t wait to race with you again!

Im old school, had a xxt, with a nightmare 2 motor and sanyo 2000 mah batts, watched Ryan's videos and got back into the hobby!! Very thoroughly filmed presented and edited. Super informative! Keep up the good work Ryan! 👌

Love the content. Presentation overall epic.

Great vid. Got myself an 22 5.0 elite as well. Love it!

Thank you! Awesome video. Very helpful

love your Videos Ryan!!! Keep up the great work!🙏😎

THANK YOU, I really enjoyed this

Greetings from Canada, Love your vidéo continue the work👍

Excellent work bro, very clever , intelligent useful tips etc, keep up the videos and RC bro.

Great video! I now have some things to try on my 22 5.0.

Great... we drive the almost same electronics but same shock package and same rest...allways nice sound. Best Video quality....we wait for a new Video Mr Harris

Came out to Supercup yesterday to watch and research what car would be good for me. Getting back into it after 30 years. Nice driving yesterday. Crushed the 2wd 🤘🏽

I’m building a 8 Losey but I’m going to the tool drive you are awesome thank you for sharing your videos I truly enjoy Your videos you are help big-time thank you

loving your vids, good info and explained well. SUB!!

So glad you made this video. I recently switched to TLR and got the 5.0 Elite as well and am in the middle of trying to figure out my setup. I was at Newred two weeks ago and saw you racing and definitely wanted to get my car to run more like yours, cause I was struggling, a lot. Overall it doesn’t feel at all like the B5m I came from but I like the 22 so much more, so now I have a very good place to start from and it’s all thanks to you! Love the vids, and hope to meet you next time I see you at newred or anywhere else!

Nice, the SR came with the soft side rails and I totally agree -- testing them back to back with the SZL, the soft was a lot better.

Awesome video .... tlr don’t pay you enough man 😂 Picked up a new 5.0 Ac kit over the associated i had originally planned on getting after watching your channel

Top job Ryan, l enjoy watching your videos and your non biased attitude, I'm thinking of getting the 22x4 once the funds are available, as I've seen a few people here in Australia lavitate toward this kit from the Associated B74 ( not that a race much or even non existent lol) but since they're now metric it's a go for me, keep up your excellent videos, stay safe 😀😉🤪💯👌👍👊 from the land down under

Good video brother thank you for sharing

Brilliant really considering getting a 1/10 indoor race buggy

I only have a rtr kraton at the moment but I still watch all of your setup/racing tip content. Lol. Keep up the excellent work kind sir.

i just picked up a 5.0. Not the Elite, just the one from early last year, but I can upgrade it as needed. Can't wait to get it on the track.

All review vids should now require a 6 month review, this is awesome!! Great shoots as always bruv, can't wait to see you in New England later this year ;) !!!

Man your so well spoken gr8 video s :)

Ahhhhh....new Video. I was waiting and waiting....greetz from Vienna Austria...pippo

Thank you for sharing

You should post more ur vids r super helpful.Thats why I’m into TLR

I don't have the same shocks as you, but I set the stroke as long as you did.... feels realy good.

Hey Ryan, great videos. I’ve recently gotten back into the hobby and have applied a lot of what I’ve learned from you in my setups. I have searched through your videos and haven’t been able to find anything about the difference between standard and progressive springs. If you have done a video talking about this, could you please link it? If you haven’t, I think this would be a great topic for a future video or at the very least a clip in a future video.

Aye some DDH Super Cup footage!

Hi, thanks for all the info, great content as usual. hopefully I will bump into you down at Mills Pond Park. I had a couple of questions regarding the M 17 radio I was confused between that and the Futaba 4PM, I'm just getting started I already have a 1/8 nitro Mugan MBX 4 from about 16 years ago that I never ran literally just started it on the starter box and never finished the project I think I have servos but I don't know I have to check it's been in storage I'm hoping everything still works.

Hi Ryan, your Chanel is really good, i bought a RC10B6.1 last year and your channel has helped me out no end after getting back into the hobby after 16years out, with your tips and trick and maintenance videos have really helped me, i'm thinking about getting a B74 but not sure if they are going to release a new one just yet what do you think. whats the spec of your tool back in the background of your videos its looks a good size. always look forward to seeing your new videos

I run on asphalt I love the wide front wing on my 4.0 sr and love the way the car drives has tons of turn in I like the front to be more responsive then the rear

Hey first off love your videos. Really like how you never tell us what to do but why you do it. Thank you for the great videos. When I was younger I always wanted a hobby car so I read all the magazines at my local library. Recently I noticed a traxxas car at the pawn shop and thought why not 140$ just got my taxes scratch it off the bucket list. Well now ive gotten bit by the rc bug(again) and need to race. Looking online I find several tracks near me that no longer exist and the nearest being over an hr away asking around local fb groups i did find a small track that a few guys go to at someones house nothing too special however. I got out there it was the most fun ive had in a long time(shit eating grin all day). Im really trying to scrape together what i need to be semi competitive still not sure if i can swing it by the end of the month when the season starts. I can race my rustler 4x4 and the gfs senton blx(and plan on it)but I really want a decent buggy So i am looking for suggestion on which kit I can understand your sponsored obligations so if you cant post here feel free to message me. The track is at Rick's hobby farm seems like a kinda loose dirt track but i also may end up in the twin cities on clay or carpet next year. I know you have been with AE and TLR. Im deciding on the base tlr kit which is the most feasible, the elite kit and maybe going with the AE team kit. Ive watched a lot of videos and it seems that the tlr base kit is just not very competitive. Im the type of person to find something i like and make it work and i dont like to change things much I like a consistent core. My issue is if i can only afford the base kit and build it properly as far as electronics ect idk if its gonna be a waste am i gonna be unhappy with the lower end kit and then when i go to upgrade (to a team or elite kit be like well I need new electronics too? I cant say i have excess money and would like to do it right or not at all. I get it this might be annoying ive watched all the videos i can find on comparing them usually it seems the AE wins just curisous if you see the elite or AE really being worth the extra 150$ and waiting or just getting the base and get out there with it.

Ryan you sure do a good job with your video's, can you make a beginner video set up so we can make the car as easy as possible to drive on a indoor carpet track?

Ryan: runs out if video ideas Ryan, a day later: MY CURRENT SETUP

I think it would be so amazing if you could help with track design jump angles ect. LET IT GROW!!

Awesome videos!!!! Thank you for all the help! Is there a reason you use the slipper instead of the direct drive for the 17.5? Have you noticed durability issues? Trying to decide :)

Fasted I clicked on a vid since last one😂

Love all the informations and videos you are doing. (except live at 3am in France). Did you played with +2 and regular shock mount. Did you tried the light battery and compensate with the losi weight under it, it should lower the center of gravity. When you said diff tight what does it mean 1/2 o r3/4 of a turn?

Thx for the descriptions and advices. But have you a link to the wall car support you use please? Thx

hey, Ryan great contenet. What is that pitbox in the background need a new one?

Just curious I was wondering if some of the parts will work for the twenty two 4.0 I’m just starting my RU-vid and I’d love to feature it on my RU-vid soon love you’re videos man hope I get better at editing and filming soon your videos are really good. 👍

I enjoy your videos and this one was no exception. Could I trouble you for a link (or the manufacturers name) to the carbon fiber motor plate you have on your TLR 22 5.0?

Love your videos, just curious, the rack thats on your wall that holds your buggies, did you make that or can it be purchased?

Have you made a video on your rack that holds the cars to the wall? It looks super sano.

Hi Ryan.... Love your videos. I am an old school RC racer and have recently gotten back into some oval racing and am considering going into Off-Road. The track I would be racing on is dirt and is a bit looser than most of the tracks I see you run on. I really like the buggies and would consider 2WD or 4WD. Do you have a TLR car that you would recommend for that type of track? Or are the Elites customizable enough for that style of track?

Car looks good! Do you shorten your servo wires? Thanks

Great car for high grip but on some of our outdoor tracks some of the older rear motor buggies kills us on traction .

It is absolutely amazing how people don't realize how a driver can "feel" these minute changes that we make during a race and how we can translate that feeling to a positive OR negative response in the car REMOTELY

Hi Ryan I just picked up the 5.0 AC and have ordered the G2 diff as compared to the composite gears that come with the kit.What are you running in your diff and what diff oil weight do you usually use? Oh yeah running on Carpet Astro. Great videos!

So I finally got my 5.0 A/C built and raced it last night. Ran the kit setup less the front wing because I just can't love the looks lol it felt amazing and handled very well. I will try the wing next weekend and see if I can tell any difference.... On a side note, have you had any problems with the front wheel pulling the entire spindle assembly through the spindle inserts? Lordy, No joke I was coming around a corner at low speed and barely tapped the board and it came out during my first few laps in warm up... Put it back together and then ran 2 heats with no problem and then in the main the other side did it 4 minutes into it while I was in the lead lol dang.

Hello from Australia.Thanks love your channel. Just got a 22 5.0dc. just getting into racing. Goal is to get to a point I can race 17.5 blinky. Running on out door clay/dirt. What is the recommended ride height/ how many mm adjust front and back on the shock collars. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you make a video on the differences on a dirt/clay buggy and a turf/carpet buggy? Are the differences subtle or radical?

Hi Ryan so your front shock springs are close to what colour tlr springs ? Love your videos

Hey Ryan big fan here, just a quick question. What type of battery connectors you have on there and why did you use those?

Great video Ryan, unfortunately, the link isn't working to your 2wd setup sheet. I just like to know the parts list for the shock package you use, like is it "exactly the same" as the 4.0 kit shock package or slightly different minus the springs ofc?

Hi Dude, Currently have the B6.1 Setup. Great piece of kit. As a newbie to the track seen (Astro and Dirt), do you think is the more responsive to drive? Positives and Negatives of each...Cheers Buddy. I do like the look of the 22 5.0 :)

Just getting into racing, thanks for your help! We started going to local clay track. just got the TLR kits... but for electronics and setups I was completely lost. Question.... do you only run 13.5T and 17.5T motors... which would you recommend the 2wd and the 4wd? thanks!

Hey Ryan, can you comment on front to back weight balance? I would love to hear your ideas/tips on setup and getting proper balance in your car. I am working on a nitro 4 tec rebuild basher but its balance feels bad (spinning on throttle, poor rear response in turns)

You, as well as a couple racers in my area, have me contemplating the Dark Side which is TLR... but AE and TLR need to make a 1/10 4wd truck.... Tekno needs to make a 2wd... For now, gonna run our rigs and spares into the ground and see what the world does between now and spring.... What is your opinion on the open pinion and spur gears on newer kits for outdoors?

This car is an antique now.

Great video but can’t find the part number for the shocks. Have an elite would like to convert to the 3.0 shaft and the caps

I picked up a new XR 10 Pro G2 Elite a couple weeks ago and I haven't gotten to get out to the track to use it yet 😭

Thanks for the video been waiting for this one! Have you done anything specific for weight distribution and total weight? Thing builds so light I have to either use a big ol 5600mah battery, or a 4000mah lcg battery and a 50g brass weight to keep it over 1500g. Good problem to have but always curious where people like the weight. I'm leaning towards the big battery but the brass weight let's me put weight right over the rear axle. Sometimes one seems better than the other can't decide. Pretty high bite tight track

Hello. Just curious to why you run trinity motor and battery but not the esc. New to the sport and was curious. Thanks for your videos.

New to this. I'm thinking about picking one of these up. Are they tough to assemble?

Just bought this car because of your channel, my very first 2WD car.. may I ask for your setup sheet as a starting point?

Hey Ryan, what is the part number for (or a link to) the AE V1 Blue springs? I would like to give them a try on my 5.0 SR when things open back up but can't seem to find them online where it indicates if it is a v1 or v2. Usually just says AE Blue. Thanks

Ryan, Im new to racing, wanting to build my first kit actually. I have a few sct's but want to get into buggy. Fast forward 11 months from this video, TLR has the 22 5.0 roller for $100 dollars cheaper than the Elite kit.. but building is half the fun for me. Will i be that much more pleased with the quality of the Elite?

Greetings from Denmark. Love your content. What brand of pinion gear do you use?

I am trying to finish putting my electronics in the car. Where did you mount the receiver? I've got the same esc and just wanted to know if you got the esc and receiver on that carbon fiber plate?

Ryan, where did you get your RC car wall mount?

What would you recommend you a newbie? I have a indoor clay track not far from me. 22 5.0 or 22x/4?

What is the part numbers for the shock set up that you run please as I'd like to try it

Hey Ryan, why do you choose to run the slipper over a "direct drive" setup? Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hello, I purchased the dc elite.1. For high bite carpet should I order the front and rear sway bars???? 2. Also Where is the best place to find the 2mm taller shock caps? Last question 3. , is a gear diff better for high bite tracks because they are more resilient and less prone to breaking?

What do you think of the 22t 4.0? I have one and am trying to find a good AstroTurf setup. Any tips?

Hey Ryan what's the part number for the side pods as well as the carbon motor plate

Great video as normal, Ryan what do you use on your wall to mount your buggies please?

Have you ever made your way to Canada before

Alright ik this might be an older video but I'm about to solder in my esc. Have you had any problems with your wires running over your battery. I want my car to be accessible and I'm wondering if it's a pain to get your battery out with the wire ran right over the battery.

Where did you buy the titanium Schelle screw kit?

Hey Ryan where are your C and D block pills at for carpet setting

I luv u

Is this is clay/dirt version or the carpet version? :)

Hey, I just picked up a TLR 4.0 and am getting back into racing from a 6+year hiatus and im switching from 1/8 nitro buggy to 1/10 electric and am as lost as a fish out of water, where do you think I should start? I watch all your videos but i cant find any on like the most basic things like what the difference between size of motors, spur gears, size of batteries, a good charger to get ect. can you provide any help? thanks!

Have you ever given thought to having a designated "indoor" (ghosted tire, laydown, hi bite) car as well as an "outdoor" ( mini pins, stand up) car to save time on rebuilds? Thanks again for the excellent work.
