What is the shock preload setting for a high bite oval
Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI
There isn’t a numerical shock preload setting specified for the TLR 22S Dirt Late Model on high-bite oval. Use preload collars only to set ride height; a 1/10-scale Late Model baseline is 15 mm front and 21 mm rear, but it isn’t specific to high bite.
Measure ride height with the car ready to run on a flat surface, then adjust preload as needed to reach those heights. The 22S kit setup lists preload as “Kit mm” rather than giving a number, and its front and rear ride-height ranges include those baseline values.
Because high-bite-specific 22S preload figures aren’t available, treat those ride heights as a starting point, not a track-proven high-bite setting. If the car feels too rolled over, try lowering ride height slightly, one end at a time, and watch for chassis bottoming or reduced grip.

How can I make my "cheated up" TLR 22S Dirt Late Model as fast as stock?
If you mean your 22S Dirt Late Model has been heavily modified, start by taking it back to the kit setup, then add changes back one at a time. More tuning parts do not...
What are good starting ride heights for a TLR 22S Dirt Late Model on dirt?
A good starting point for the 22S Dirt Late Model is 15 mm front and 21 mm rear. That’s a general 1/10-scale rubber-tire Late Model baseline, not a documented 22S kit ride-height...
What ride heights should I use for a TLR 22S on low-grip dirt?
Start at 15 mm front and 21 mm rear. That is the 1/10 late model baseline listed for all track types; there isn’t a separate low-grip ride-height target for the TLR 22S. Measure...
Why does my TLR 22S Dirt Late Model lift the rear-left tire?
If the rear-left tire lifts in left turns, start by lowering rear ride height 1 mm at a time to reduce chassis roll. The 22S kit baseline is 15 mm front and 21 mm rear, so if...
