They allow you to perfect the balance and consistency of this 1/10 scale 2WD TLR racing buggy.

The TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE offers more mid-corner steering for RC racing
Every advantage counts when you’re out to win races, and that includes being able to carry more speed through the corners than your competition can. Team Losi Racing puts the edge in your favor with the improved mid corner steering of the TLR 22 5.0 ELITE 2WD buggy kit. It’s the combined result of this RC kit’s revised steering geometry, smooth G3 shocks, and 2mm chassis plate with optimized flex.
The TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE has earned a reputation among RC racers for being the best-driving 2WD competition buggy that Team Losi Racing has ever designed. They cite its revamped steering geometry as being the #1 reason why. Refinements to the steering bell cranks, spindle arms, and Ackermann angle combine to give the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE 2WD Race Buggy noticeably smoother high-speed and off-center steering, while also improving the steering at low speeds for tighter tracks and 180 degree turns.
Also contributing to the TLR 22 5.0 ELITE 2WD Race Buggy’s success in the corners is the plush handling of its G3 12mm Big Bore shocks, which have some improvements for easier use as well. For example, you can now switch between ride heights more easily, and the pistons are secured by screws instead of e-clips. On all surfaces, the 2.0mm milled aluminum chassis of the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE 2WD Race Buggy delivers the perfect amount of flex and rigidity not just for smooth cornering, but also to maintain balance and land from jumps without bouncing.
The TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE provides more adjustments and tuning options
The TLR 22 5.0 ELITE 2WD Race Buggy gives you another edge for RC racing by providing an enormous number of tuning capabilities. You’ll have no trouble dialing in your vehicle for winning performance on any track. Multiple adjustments can be made to the diff height and front roll center. Between its inside and outside holes, the front camber block has a third camberlink option to find the best balance of steering and stability.
There are ballast tuning options as well. Mount optional brass ballast weights at select points on the chassis to adjust your TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE 2WD Race Buggy’s weight bias for the easiest driving on different RC track conditions.
The TLR 22 5.0 ELITE 2WD Race Buggy Kit also features an easy-to-use and incredibly versatile battery hold down system. The cradles can be adjusted for five fixed, easy to duplicate battery positions, and the elastomer straps will stretch to fit shorty batteries of any height. You’ll be able to remove an exhausted battery in no time at all, and replace it with a fresh pack just as quickly.
The TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE even looks like an RC racing winner
The 1/10 scale TLR 22 5.0 ELITE 2WD Race Buggy Kit comes with a precut body, in a similar style as the body included with the TLR 22 4.0 buggy. The body is lightweight, well-balanced, and exceptionally durable. Well-suited for today’s high grip, high speed RC racing tracks, the included low front wing increases steering on power and in high-speed turns. While the ultra-durable 6.5-inch rear wing isn’t new to the TLR 22 5.0 DC ELITE, it has proven to be the most stable and longest-lasting rear wing currently available for 1/10 scale 2WD buggy racing.
