So I traded one of my XXBK's for a slightly used 22, and I havent even really looked at it since. well last night I pulled it out and put the new body I ordered for it last summer. And tried out a rap from Darkside. it was the first time I ever used one of their wraps, The Jury is still out weather I will do it again on a buggy body. I love the out come, it looks much better than it would have with my painting skills. but it was about 1/8" smaller than it should have been. their was no over lap or fudge room at all. and I had to paint some color on the inside to fill in gaps. but over all I think it looks ok. it came with a nice white hard plastic wing, but I grabed one of my extra hot yellow pro se wings, I think the color is a better fit than the white one. what do you think?

looks 100% better than the one I had. Nice work

Just on the outside its a nice car I really like it. I just think its a little to much car for me.

as much as I love these wings, its funny how close they match the Losi Yellow wheels. I use them on my pro se also. But I must admit they say Kyosho on the side just above the 22. but its cool since you can only read it very close up.

Nice trade, the 22 is a very nice and easy car, you'll enjoy it, very robust and can be pushed hard, love mine(s)

Yellow is great, perfect match with the wheels!

Is this wing a 1/8th scale kyosho one?

I love my 22. I still love running my RC10 and JRX Pro but my 22 is just much easier to handle than either of them. Here is a pic of mine.

Very nice I love the Blue wheels. I dont know what the wing is off of. I was talking to Steggun29 (EverythingRC) on Ebay, I was looking for the Hot Racing Wings use to run, and he had these and said they would work so I bought like 5 of them? and I havent broke one yet.

Those are dyed losi 22 wheels. I did some in red as well that should work well with my other Andy's body.

Please give me some details on the dye. Like what color were they and what dye did you use. they will match my BK2 ones great. Thanks Rick

It was bodacious blue dazzle dye from Lightning Rod racing products. Unfortunately it was part of the old stock in the hobby shop lot I purchased and I don't think you can find it anymore.

Doesn't look too far off a Rit dye color, the have a nice bright blue

Thank you my old friend, I was thinking that to but forgot to say it out loud (?) I thought I did but my last few post's havent been their when I came back??

biff85ta Did you start with yellow or white wheels?

I've only driven a 22 one time and it was a very poorly setup mid motor on clay. Needless to say it didn't work so well. I don't really have a good idea of how they handle. I know they are durable. What advantages do you see in the real world on the track compared to lets say a JRX-Pro SE? Is it just more forgiving?

White wheels I bought 4 sets from a guy on rctech who was getting out and dyed all of them. I actually did not care for the blue that much when they first came out but they grew on me.

They all look good. I couldnt tell you anything about this car. I have never done anything with it. I have a new XXXcr and this I havent drove either one but I plan to in the near future, and I will think I will only be keeping one of them. I done have a place to race but I will be going to see my daughter soon and theirs a track down by her.
