Dominate the Dirt Oval: The Ultimate Losi 22S Sprint Upgrade Guide
The Losi 22S Sprint is a powerhouse on the dirt, offering pure excitement and competitive performance straight out of the box. But in the demanding world of dirt oval racing, every ounce of weight saved and every degree of precision gained makes the difference between a podium finish and the rest of the pack.
If you’re ready to transform your 22S Sprint into a true racing machine, look no further than the specialized, high-performance upgrade parts from Bermco RC Parts.
Here is our breakdown of the must-have upgrades to give your Sprint car the competitive edge it deserves.
1. Unleash Pure Performance: Drivetrain & Speed
The fastest cars on the oval are those that efficiently convert motor power into forward motion. Bermco helps you reduce friction and rotational mass for maximum speed.
Hybrid Ceramic Bearing Kit
Swapping out stock bearings is one of the most effective upgrades. Bermco’s Hybrid Ceramic Bearing Kits offer smoother operation and significantly less rolling resistance compared to traditional steel, translating directly into higher top speeds and cooler running temperatures.
Titanium Drivetrain Components
When you minimize weight in the rotating components, your acceleration immediately improves. Bermco utilizes super-lightweight and strong titanium in critical drivetrain parts:
-
Titanium Rear Axle Driveshafts: Lightweight strength where it matters most, reducing unsprung mass.
-
Titanium Transmission Layshaft: Less rotating mass for quicker revving and better throttle response.
-
Titanium Front Axles: A key weight-saving mod for the front end, improving steering responsiveness.
2. Lighter & Stronger: Carbon Fiber Essentials
Carbon fiber is the gold standard for competitive RC racing. It offers exceptional rigidity (less flex) and dramatic weight reduction compared to stock materials.
Carbon Fiber Chassis & Shock Towers
Upgrade your car's core structure for superior handling and a lower center of gravity:
-
Carbon Fiber Chassis: Provides a stable, lightweight foundation for all other components.
-
3mm Front & Rear Carbon Fiber Shock Towers: Increased stiffness means your shocks and suspension geometry remain consistent throughout a run, enhancing predictability and setup repeatability.
Carbon Fiber Motor Plate
A lightweight motor plate contributes to overall weight reduction while looking sharp under the hood.
3. Fine-Tuning & Hardware Durability
The details matter. These upgrades address crucial areas of weight distribution and fastener strength.
Brass Front Pivot Block (Tuning Weight Bias)
Dirt oval racers often need to adjust the front-to-rear weight bias for optimal turning on slick surfaces. The Brass Front Pivot Block adds essential weight to the front end, improving on-power steering and stability.
Ultimate Hardware Kits
Replace soft factory hardware with high-strength steel or lightweight titanium kits.
