TLR22 king pin questions

Post by V12 »

I´m searching for a long king pin for one of my projects and have seen the one for the TLR22 cars.
Part # TLR234098

If someone have such car, could you please check the dimensions of those king pins?
I´m interested in the length of the plain shaft including the thread, the overall length and the overall diameter (3.0 mm or other?).
Thank you

If you don't get an answer before next week, ping me then. I have that part, at least for the TLR 22 4.0, but it's in a buggy that's packed for an outing I leave for tomorrow.

Thank you!

Unfortunately that means I can´t use those king pins.
The length is around what I´m searching but it´s to thin.

Someone know king pins which are around that length but either 1/8" or 3.0 mm for the shaft diameter?
The type with the thread would be nice but oldschool type for e-clips will do the job also.

The rear hub hinge pins might work:

Thanks.
Not sure if there is enough room for nuts on both sides.
Actually the type which is used at the front would be preferred. If it´s the correct thickness.

But have to check what´s working when I got my other suspension parts.
Currently searching which axles or king pins could work.
I know I had old RC10 and Losi axles which would do the job. But seems they have gone.

The Traxxas Bandit / Rustler (longer) also Bullet / Sledgehammer kit (TRX 1639, e-clip type) hinge pins are 1/8 inch in diameter. STRC offers a polished set with nuts instead of e-clips or the screw-in type which is standard for modern Traxxas.

I mention the longer pins above, because the outer front hinge pins on the Rustler at the steering and hub carriers are 2.5mm (?) in diameter. The Bandit on the other hand uses 1/8 all around, except for the steering only.

Now, do you need 1/8 inch or 3mm ? Are you willing to drill your parts to 1/8 if you really need 3mm? You could take 3mm bar-stock to create your own custom hinge pins, if you have thread cutter.

I believe the AE B5 use 3mm diameter, but that is just a guess.

Good luck with your project.

Schumacher uses 45mm x 1/8 pins on the Mission FT. They are smooth, though, so you would need to cut grooves for the e-clips. They are captive on the Mission.

"I know I had old RC10 and Losi axles which would do the job. But seems they have gone."

If you had the older style RC10 maybe RPM hinge pins might work for you. 2.28" OA according to RPM.
I think the newer style RC10s had approximately 2.1" hinge pins

Thanks guys.
I will go with 1/8" hinge pins but it seems now the perfect size would be around 1.65" or maybe also up to 1.8".
Measured between the grooves for the e-clips.
But not more.
