I've forgotten alot on tuning 🤔🤫. I used to race stock cars on 200ft+ embankment rc track for 2 years, 23 years ago. Totally different than the typhon buggy!!! It's been too long! May have to get these steering parts for my limitless! Thank you Earl for the refresher course 🤗💯%🙏👍☝️
@@earlmoorhead5555 yes it is fun and to watch and relearn!!! One maybe two different adjustments at once! You know why? The limitless could benefit from these parts and adjustments? Very cool!😎 Can't wait to see her in the dirt!!!😮😯😲😳🥺😩😫
Bought mine a few days ago and am already encountering this problem, have had it 3 days and already did the kraton hubs and carriers and axle ends with the EXB braces and the LED lights with the RPM rear skid plate and RPM front bumper. This is by far my favorite RC vehicle ever! I love it!
Dude it’s been over a month, I just got my MX28 belted badlands on and have gone with the 1250kv 8s spektrum system….I’m still fighting the steering issues 😢 it’s gotta be perfect! I’m just not happy with it the way it is even after changing servo arms, turnbuckles. I mean come on! 😂 It’s crazy fast on 8s and handles great but it turn’s extremely sharp to the left and does little to nothing when turning to the right. So I’m watching this video as I’m tearing all of the front suspension now. AGAIN! 😂 If I get it fixed tonight I’ll upload a short clip of it ripping around! This video has helped me understand a lot, thanks!
If you ever sell this masterpiece I’d buy it in a heartbeat because I respect your work and wrenching abilities. I can’t stand wrenching and tinkering I’d love too Run a Earl Moorhead masterpiece 👍 Mich love and be well brother 👍
I don't know if this applies to the Typhoon TT (ie. TLR Tuned) Roller, but it might be worth checking. With the Typhon TT, you have 3 Ackerman adjustment holes - forward, mid, and rear On my TLR 22 5.0 DC, as well as my XRAY XB2C, the same adjustment is done slightly differently, by using different thickness spacers. I know that part didn't help you...but, it shows that the Ackerman angle is adjusted in a similar manner. Now, for the part that might help you. With both of my buddies, you can further adjust the Ackerman angle by flipping the Ackerman plate. It is just one of the build/setup steps that differentiates between a dirt/clay vehicle, and an asphalt/carpet vehicle. The 'rearward' mounting of the Ackerman plate (as the Typhon TT always to be) is a dirt/clay position...which makes sense, as the Typhon TT is tuned for dirt/clay. With the Ackerman plate flipped (moving the 3 adjustment positions further forward), such would be an asphalt/carpet position. I can't post a photo of what I'm describing...but, if you were to download the build manual for the XRAY XB2 2021, and look at the top panel of page 25, you'd see exactly what I'm referring to. Then, you could disassemble the front end of the Typhon TT, and see if the Ackerman plate can be flipped. If you're on Facebook, I could message you, attaching the image.
Fantastic video buddy! super enjoy your videos and journey. It's been a long time looking to get a decent video of someone breaking down the benefits and factors of the adjustments especially as its rear to find anyone showing setups with the TLR. Most videos are the same here's a new motor or upgrades but nothing regarding setup for specific surfaces and tyres. Keep up the good work its appreciated.
Maaan! quite a long video for only changing the position of the ackermann bar and fixing the slop in upper piwotballs!🤣 Again I love to point out the commenting on your thoughts to why change what on the setup!!!!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💯✅ your enthusiasm and knowledge on getting a rc working better is fantastic to see! I’ve said that before and maybe much times again but I would love to meet you in person and do and discuss these things with you! I my opinion the change on the ackermann bar just changes the steering angle of the inner and outer wheel- mustn’t be bad, but I think you didn’t expand the contact of the front wheels in turning position 🤔 So I know that you know that on setup only works for one condition! Changing the ridehight just a few millimeters because of the asphalt isn’t absolutely flat will change all other suspensionangles and cause a pretty bad handling- although the difffluids do. But in my opinion you’re very well with the choice you make yet! 👍🏻✅ Go on and try what you think 💭 I‘m excited to see what your changes cause to the handling.?! At least I want to point out that you please don’t feel bullied by my comments!!! I‘m not a pro driver or at least near that- just a guy who has his own thoughts and like to share this ✌🏻
TLR has adjustment the upper arm has washers you can remove or add washers for camber at the pivot ball for front rear should have a link that’s adjustable
So...for scientific purposes, im running 100k in the front and rear and 20M in thr center. Rather than planted wheels, im utilizing slide into corners and as for jumps and an evenly based thottle plant prior to a jump, i have seem to notice a super air control with the typhon. Literally its a slide through the push almost never off the throttle. Also running even more backwardsness, 50 in the rear shocks with 3 hole 1.3 pistons, and 40 in front shocks with 3 hole 1.5 holes. Racing at Gulf Coast Raceway/ Mikes Hobby Shop... and tires, im just using proline pins butbi want to try AKA Scribbles
Really been enjoying watching and learning about the level of tuneing that can be done to this model...Im not into raceing but i really think this car is in my near future. Thanks for the videoes Earl !
Move all the spacers/shims on the upper arm at the rear of the arm. Move all the spacers/shims on the lower arm toward the front of the chassis. Should help, though I don’t know if it’ll bring the Ackerman down enough.
Excellent video! I appreciate all of the detail you provide. This is very helpful to a newish RC car person like myself. Please keep the content coming!
EARL.... interesting...do you think shortening the servo arm slightly along with the Ackerman bar adjustments would help? some servo horns have an inner and outer holes,,if not maybe a shorter servo arm,,,,,just a thought,,,great video.....🇺🇸👈🚘
Great bit of tinkering there earl 👌 very much like working on a real car but just not quite the same is it. The small parts can make for interesting work too 😂 not like holding an m8 bolt lol. Hopefully changing the steering settings will help 🤞
I’m a little late but have you tried a thinner rear sway bar to stop the rear end lifting? I would suggest watching JQ, he is pretty much only racing but I don’t see why the information wouldn’t roll over to blacktop as well. He recently did a video about sway bars and this seems to be the possible solution. Check it out and see what you think of the information provided by him. Have fun!
Hi from France. Great job again. Really love your work on this model and all the testing video about it ! The aluminium used on this TLR is better os same as the one used on EXB models ? Take Care Have Fun. Continue to make masterpieces Mr Moorhead, it make us Happier :)
I have a typhon. . everything is upgraded like crazy running 6s castle motor i keep melting my front and rear diffs. . . i have the center done with silicone earplug and 50k in front and rear. . any idea why i keep melting diff cups. It runs about 75mph so its not that fast of a build either
Changing the pills in the top front arm to the lower position shock tower will keep the wheel straight wen turning. I did it on mine, made big difference.
I'm gonna try foam tires. Make the front tires bigger diameter, gives overdrive Make a little more front wheel drive. Makes it drive straight. Drag cars are set up front wheel dominate drive to help track the car straight.

That great information I’ll definitely look to see if I can flip it 👍👍🔥🔥
@@earlmoorhead5555 Most welcome. Your NPRC inch has helped me. More than happy to try and help you (and others). 🤙🏽
I still have a lot of learning to do. I thought that camber was adjusted in the front by a screw after you removed the wheel.
shim adjustment I'm thinking 🤔

And explaining a lot about if comments ppl left in the last video hopefully answering some of those questions 👍💯
My Typhon s camber is FL: -3° & FR: -1.5°. What's the best way to even these out?
TLR has adjustment the upper arm has washers you can remove or add washers for camber at the pivot ball for front rear should have a link that’s adjustable
@earlmoorhead5555 ok thanks that's what I thought but I didn't want to start removing anything if there was something else

Racing at Gulf Coast Raceway/ Mikes Hobby Shop... and tires, im just using proline pins butbi want to try AKA Scribbles
Needless to say it's double the work load to race but you can be extra aggressive as a trade off....atleast compared to a LosI 8 XE 2.0
Really been enjoying watching and learning about the level of tuneing that can be done to this model...Im not into raceing but i really think this car is in my near future. Thanks for the videoes Earl !
Earl, Check out Ryan Harris channel. He's a Team Losi racer and has lots of set up videos
I’ve watched him for years he runs a lot of chub buggies and he’s awsome 👍👍
C-hub style buggies
I’ll check again thanks
Forsure that kid is smart 🤓
lol soon as that bell goes off i click it. mr. guru of detail.. thanks again
Move all the spacers/shims on the upper arm at the rear of the arm. Move all the spacers/shims on the lower arm toward the front of the chassis. Should help, though I don’t know if it’ll bring the Ackerman down enough.
Thank You for this information ! Does this go pretty much for all RC's ? Great video , this helps out tremendously 😁💯👌👍
Excellent video! I appreciate all of the detail you provide. This is very helpful to a newish RC car person like myself. Please keep the content coming!
Do you think the tlr is a better build than the rtr?
Yes
Who said testing wasn't any fun, lol keep wrenching and tuning its all fun!
EARL.... interesting...do you think shortening the servo arm slightly along with the Ackerman bar adjustments would help? some servo horns have an inner and outer holes,,if not maybe a shorter servo arm,,,,,just a thought,,,great video.....🇺🇸👈🚘
As the wheels are maxed out I don’t think so but if they where not turning fully that would be the fix for that 🔥🔥
I didn’t realize until this video just how little caster this chassis has built in compared to the Losi buggies.
Always learning from your videos, thanks Earl.
Great bit of tinkering there earl 👌 very much like working on a real car but just not quite the same is it. The small parts can make for interesting work too 😂 not like holding an m8 bolt lol. Hopefully changing the steering settings will help 🤞
Yes 👍
Very interesting stuff😎
Watching you build this this is making me what to go buy one I almost pulled the trigger today great work as always
I recently purchased this buggy your videos have helped a lot

I haven’t ordered any parts for it yet but a good option 👍👍
Wzup Mr.Moorehead!! Love the build. Good knowledge today. Great video 📹 👍 again 👏 👌
Thanks 🙏
Good info. Could help against understeer if it works
Hi from France. Great job again. Really love your work on this model and all the testing video about it !
The aluminium used on this TLR is better os same as the one used on EXB models ?
Take Care Have Fun.
Continue to make masterpieces Mr Moorhead, it make us Happier :)
Idk if the metals are different but the adjustment hole are way better than arrma factory positions for sure 👍👍
I give those duratrax tires less than a week before a rim cracks
if your wheels ain't on the ground you ain't turning 😁
I sometimes add shims between ftont arms and metal screw in pivot balls to add / adjust camber.
👍👍
I have a typhon. . everything is upgraded like crazy running 6s castle motor i keep melting my front and rear diffs. . . i have the center done with silicone earplug and 50k in front and rear. . any idea why i keep melting diff cups. It runs about 75mph so its not that fast of a build either
Diff cup melting 👀 there metal the cup that goes into the axle ??
@@earlmoorhead5555 inside the cup melts and the gears just spin inside it and the screws give and diff rips apart
As dry as they where I can see big issues
Change the the diff fluids , go lower Around 10k ,
The differential had nothing in them but I did all the diffs allready 👍👍
Awsome!
Did you ever see if the spektrum 160 esc will fit?
It will fit but you’ll have to modify the mounting plate a lot
I’m enjoying my TLR Typhon, running it only on blacktop. All your tuning tips are very helpful, thanks.
Thicker oil in the front diff will give you more on power steering 👍
Good to know 👍👍
Too simple! Maybe helps a little- but there’s much more to do 😉
@@kevinmagiera9157 😆
How was the diffs on your TLR? did they have good fluid level out of the factory? what is it setup for out of the factory in your opinion?
I did that video three days ago they where empty just assembly lube in the 👍👍
@@earlmoorhead5555 dang, my tlr buggy should be arriving any day. I guess i will have to open all teh diffs :( sadpanda
Changing the pills in the top front arm to the lower position shock tower will keep the wheel straight wen turning. I did it on mine, made big difference.
Also down and in for toe in. Sweeps the arms forward standing the caster up. More tire patch on the road.
I'm gonna try foam tires. Make the front tires bigger diameter, gives overdrive Make a little more front wheel drive. Makes it drive straight. Drag cars are set up front wheel dominate drive to help track the car straight.
So much good info in this video. Great video!
I'm ready to see how those changes affect the car. I always set mine up to turn under braking or coasting. Be worth trying something something new.
This car is so boring already, it’s on all channels
Really I didn’t realize everyone showing it 😳🤔
Idk why i thought you put 80k in front , with 6s i had go thicker
10 k on the TLR 👍👍3k rear and 100 k center 👍👍
