NOT for the LOSI 22S.
22 VADER drag chassis conversion set.
Read the important notes at the bottom for required items needed.
Lightweight 'street eliminator' drag chassis conversion set for use with TLR 22 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 buggies (3.0 and 4.0 requires the 5.0 front nylon bulkhead TLR231081).
Converts your TLR 22 buggy to be cash race ready for the hot new 'Street Eliminator / Slash No Prep' race classes springing up around the US.
Provides the legal 13" wheelbase to fit under the hottest new no prep bodies that are on the market (not for the wider short course based bodies, this is for the narrower drag bodies offered by Proline and J Concepts).
This pro chassis conversion set features;
- Carbon fiber made and machined in USA
- Heavy duty 2.5mm thick chassis, and side rail plates
- Alloy servo mounting block that ties into the side rails for extra rigid and tweak free front chassis setup
- 6 heavy duty alloy side rail posts
- Heavy duty alloy front kick up plate
- Alloy parts that are finished in glossy black and silver cut to match the stock 5.0 look
- 4 position shorty lipo mounting to adjust for wheelie/ no wheelie balance
- 2 level chassis design allows you to lower or raise the center of gravity for stability yet keeps the gear box higher to increase traction and keep the drive axles straighter for higher speeds
- The 2 layer rear chassis also raises the rear roll center which increases the forward launch traction while reducing side to side roll for improved high speed stability.
- Offers multiple weight balance options to maximize grip on the street or on the track
- Includes a 3mm carbon fiber front shock tower to run a lower ride height as well as allow the use of a street eliminator body mount kit (Traxxas #TRA1914R)
- Includes a carbon fiber rear body mount plate that bolts to the stock 22 wing mounts for use with the Traxxas #TRA1914R body post set.
- Includes steel hardware.
- Includes extra large Exotek logo stickers
- Includes instruction sheet
IMPORTANT NOTES
The parts break down picture is of the conversion pieces that are included.
Prototype wheelie bar shown is not included but coming soon.
Designed for use with 3 gear or 4 gear STAND UP gearbox for maximum performance. The TLR laydown gear box can be used but will need filing under the stock motor plate to clear the chassis hardware but in the end provides less rear traction than the stand up configuration.
To lower the REAR ride height further than the stock 22 use FRONT spring sets on the rear shocks.
We are using Proline Drag wheels and tires as shown in the pics. You will need extra wide rear hexes to properly bolt on the rear wheels (22-4 +1.5 or 22SCT rear hex sets etc).

kit was pretty nice, but you do have to use even some hardware from your buggy, which was ok. It does not come with a front bumper, which ended up being a pain to find one that that fit correctly. I'm running it with a Maclan DRK 160 ESC and it is very fast, still tweaking everything. I also had to find the right wheelie bar, which I believe should have come with the kit, but the price was great.

The fit and finish are perfect. I have built four of these now and am impressed by the ease of assembly, instructions that are spot on, and a comfortable company to deal with IF you have a problem...even when it is self wrought. Highly recommend to everyone who will listen.

Reminded me when I drag race bolink chassis that had traction dampening shock on the center mid brace. I had to jump on this chassis build for no-prep totally tunable then a slash conversion. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to a single wheelie bar for this Vader.
