Set up for asphalt parking lot oval, box stock rules
Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI
For a TLR 22S Dirt Late Model, start with the kit car and use the rubber-tire 1/10 Late Model oval baseline only for adjustments your box-stock rules allow. Those rules vary by track, so check whether they permit changes to alignment, ride height, and weight before changing anything.
The available Late Model baseline is listed for rubber tires on all track types, but it is not a verified 22S asphalt setup. Use it as a starting reference, not a guaranteed fast setup:
- Ride height: 15 mm front, 21 mm rear
- Front toe: 0.5° out; front caster: 5°
- Camber: RF −3°, LF −1°, LR +2°, RR −2°
- Weight: 55% rear, 55% left, 52% wedge
The 22S kit data lists rear toe at 7°/3° and rear camber at +2°/−3°, so keep those kit values unless your rules and setup plan allow changing them.
Make one permitted change at a time and test several laps. Asphalt grip and tire rules vary a lot; if you tell me what adjustments the box-stock rules allow and whether the car pushes or gets loose, I can narrow the starting point.
