Stangsandrcs4life, thank you I greatly appreciate it! I look forward to giving them a try for sure. I'm pretty happy with the paint job as well. Something different for sure lol.
Thanks Coach! I was debating on that for sure. I've used velcro in other cars (drifting mainly). I've got some industrial velcro that nearly needs a crow bar to remove them haha. I may give it a go sure enough. I cannot wait to give this thing a try!
Thank you Don! I really do appreciate it. I'm looking forward to it as well. Once I get the replacement parts in and the tires balanced I'll be ready to get it dialed in again! I'm super excited for it.
I greatly appreciate the comment and support. I had a blast with my Losi. I'd look into the extended rear shock mounts and fabbing the battery trey so you can move the battery more forward.
I have some servo mounts specific to this chassis on the way to run a low profile servo This will let you run a sideways brick pack with some adjustability room
That's awesome! I just installed a different servo in mine, one of those narrow servos that will allow me to slide the battery even further. I'll be doing another update video soon
Love the P51 theme! I drive and fly RC as well. In the process of building the Flitetest Master Series P51b this winter. Really enjoying the evolution of your 22s. Can't wait until you're running Outlaw. Will you be going with the new DRK+? Keep up the great work!
Justin I greatly appreciate the comment and support. I really miss flying and the only reason I stopped is because I lost my location. There is a RC flying field club not too far from me but my biggest issue is my scheduling for club flying. Hopefully I'll be able enjoy it again in the future. Yeah I'm looking foward to moving up to outlaw as well but I'm on of those that dont like moving up until I feel I've accomplished what I want in a current class. Plus I'm still learning and feel the 13.5 class does help in that area. Glad you are enjoying the evolution of the 22S as well. I'm having a blast with it for sure.
Installing this undercover kit now, having same issues as you did,and it was really hard to line everything up, thanks for the video I used the spacers ,they help, my only issue now is my front A arms are hitting the chassis, chassis wont let them drop all the way down. Did you have this issue ?
Hey Chris. I actually had to lengthen my front shocks a bit. By turned out the eyelets to extend them slightly. You could possibly do the same by shortening them by screwing the eyelet on more. I tuned them to the point at fully extended the arms were just hitting the chassis.
Can't get and info about the carbon fiber chassis plate for the Losi 22 s, can't get on their website, no phone number. Love your segments on drag racing. I'm 76 and retired did a little rc about 55 years ago.
@@GarryParsons-t3h www.undercoverrc.com/drag-chassis Give that link a try. They may offer a more recent version as well. I greatly appreciate the kind words and support!
Mike S I appreciate the support and comment. While many still run some kits or rtr cars from Associated, Traxxas and Losi the custom and or purpose built carbon fiber chassis world is growing and getting more and more popular. I see many fast guys still run the store shelf cars but a large group of fast racers are on the purpose built carbon fiber chassis cars now too. I love my Losi but have changed so much that it's not really a Losi much anymore lol. It's really hard to recommend one over the other. The best advice I can give is no matter if you buy a in the shelf car from a hobby store or a custom purpose built car you will likely end up changing things. If I were to do it from scratch, I'd probably would have started with a carbon car and not a RTR car.
@@jbtricklerc awesome advice. Thank u. Yeah all my rc's are modified i totally get what you're saying. Was just checking out new pre-order on the team associated dr10m.. looks good. I dont know anything about the rc drag car thing. As far as building from scratch. Maybe I'll do like my other rc's buy one and then change here and there. Lol
@@mikeinvegas1 those GFRP are awesome though. I'll probably end up with one eventually. I run GFRP on the dirt oval and love them. Yeah my Losi has evolved a lot. Sometimes you have to figure out what's the best option and direction either way it will cost over time lol.
Antonio, from my understanding Undercover RC is aware of the issue I had and has corrected it. So any new kits ordered should be good to go. But if not,you can do the same thing I did until they can ship the new parts out. You can contact them through their website as well.
@@jbtricklerc I didn’t yet. I want to work on developing things like I’ve been working on….But with that said I really, really like the Royalty RC Queen chassis and that’s what I plan to go with
Thank you robert! I greatly appreciate the support and comment. I actually ended up using the older (discontinued) TLR aluminum shocks. I had many left over components from an older car I had years ago and just purchased the missing parts off of ebay. If I had to go the new route I probably would have went with the newer TLR shocks. I just figured I'd put what I had to good use and save some money that way.
@@jbtricklerc yeh definitely mate , I've been looking at upgrading the shocks but the one's in the options list for the 22s seem very expensive, not sure which ones I should purchase
@@robertkotevski9649 I agree, which was part of the reason I decided to buy a few missing parts and use my older TLR shocks I already had. If I remember correctly I was also checking out the Proline shocks at one point as well before I decided going the route that I did.
@@jbtricklerc ill check the prolines out and see how i go appreciate the help , just watching the rest of you 22s vids and the fast and the furious clips are killer lol
Yoji Holmes Productions I'll link it here and in the description as well. I like to use these personally. Its just a personal preference for adjustability plus I run these on pretty much all my oval cars. www.muddslidemotorsports.com/bopowclbl.html
Yoji where else specifically do you recommend? I'm definitely willing to try some other areas as well. I've looked at some other parts and other areas considering areas to cut more weight as well. Still pretty happy with the outcome even if just for the more tuning options. Once I push this Losi to its limits I'll be likely building another drag car on the GFRP Apollo Platform next. Thank you for the comment and support.
@@jbtricklerc titanium axles and carbon fiber ESC plate and front carbon fiber shock tower and rear carbon fiber shock tower and rear body mount and lightweight motor plate and titanium screws and lightweight idler gear and magnesium idler shaft and titanium turnbuckles.
@@yojiholmesproductions Oh yeah. that would likely add up to some good reduction. I may look into some of that depending on how far i'm out from just changing platforms. That will be the deciding factor.
@@yojiholmesproductions GFRP Apollo. I rund the GFRP cars on dirt oval and their new Apollo Drag car is pretty amazing. I know several that race with it. I'm still going to have fun and try some things with the Losi. But for the next big step in the process, I see the GFRP car in my future.
Box stock jumped right off.say no no to outrageous carbon parts.a minor bigger motor or li-po blows away carbon chassis. THIS is a stinking info-mercial
An infomercial? Lol. Everything used here on my channel I bought and paid for other than the motor and ESC upgrade which was given to me by a friend. No infomercial here. Simply sharing my experiences and my personal journey to make the car more tuneable while having fun and upgrading and experimenting. Keep yours stock, try a different brand upgrade, no matter to me one way or another. NOTHING on my channel has ever been free sponsored nor given to me for free, I've spent my own money. However, I'll happily give props and shout-outs to products that I like and support just like I did with this Undercover chassis I personally chose. I can also speak first hand that their customer service is amazing after having an issue as mentioned in this very episode. Regardless, best of luck to you and I hope you have a blast in all your RC adventures.
Morning,You are a good gent I've watched all your videos YOU CAN DO A BETTER PAINT JOB THAN THAT IVE SEEN YOUR PAINTING SKILLS,that bodyshell is terrible.sorry thank you Andy Timson from England
No worries Andrew. To appreciate the paint scheme you have to be a fan of the old War Bird Fighter planes and of course Tombstone. I enjoy doing theme bodies occasionally and this was also a fairly quick job to get the newer body on the car. Art and themes bodies are not for everyone and what one person likes, another will not. Its just how it is. Take care and thanks for the support.
Beautiful body on the losi bro!!! Thanks for the knowledge...I hope you have a tip jar!!
I greatly appreciate the compliment, support and feedback Soulbrother. Thats what I'm here for to help when I can. This was a fun project for sure.
You will like the axis tires. I’ve had my best time so far on a set. Great looking paint job also!
Stangsandrcs4life, thank you I greatly appreciate it! I look forward to giving them a try for sure. I'm pretty happy with the paint job as well. Something different for sure lol.
I'm looking forward to trying them myself
This is giving me some ideas for my drag slash
That paint is wicked.grate info..balance them tires &rims
Thank you V&B Speed I greatly appreciate it! It will definitely be balanced lol. I've actually got a tutorial video on that very thing.
No need for the battery holders, just use 3m Velcro lock, want the battery as far forward as possible. Good looking chassis 💪🏾💯
Thanks Coach! I was debating on that for sure. I've used velcro in other cars (drifting mainly). I've got some industrial velcro that nearly needs a crow bar to remove them haha. I may give it a go sure enough. I cannot wait to give this thing a try!
Also have added toe and anti squat adjustability at the C and D block using a combination of TLR 5.0 parts and Exotek 22s Drag parts
Awesome! creativity and custom engineering is part of the fun in the RC world!
Great video...car looks great ...cant wait some hits with it!
Thank you Don! I really do appreciate it. I'm looking forward to it as well. Once I get the replacement parts in and the tires balanced I'll be ready to get it dialed in again! I'm super excited for it.
Great build . I just bought a losi 22s and a proline supra body . My first mod will be some nice alloy shocks , any suggestions ?

Just put my order in, but they saying it is gonna be a few months before I get my chassis in. FML
Dessi I had to wait a while as well. I think I was about two months out. They do a great job though and it's worth it.
Can still take out 95g. So use as much carbon fiber parts and some titanium parts till you take out 95g.
