Tune!!!!!!! learn it. breath it. Practice Practice practice. Control your finger on the radio. go to a track hook up with some of the fast guys. Follow their race lines. Stay tuned on here and FB forums.

I run on a very rough short course track with tight turns and not alot of room to open it up. Any tuning suggestions would be helpful. lots I dont understand yet as far as tuning so I will just keep reading and getting myself more familiar then try new things. Thanks for the feedback! Loving this rig!

First thing would be to go to Team Losi Racing. look at the setup tabs and try one of those and see how you do with one of those. I can recommend stuff all day long but without more info and seeing things in person; more info would not be worth while.

Great advice... I am going to copy one of the set ups and note what I have on a blank sheet so I can put it back together the way it is now since I'm loving the truck as is. I just cant help but wonder if I will love it more with a different set up. I guess you cant go wrong following a national champions set up! Thanks again for the direction.

when you've run it this way and are looking for something for the truck to do and not sure what change to make post back on here. Help is right around the keyboard.

Hello, I'm looking for a pair of rear a arms. Looks like P/N TLR244018.

A couple of the online retailers show discontinued or no longer available. Any suggestions?

Thank you,
Dustin

I just called Horizon and asked about it because mine are beat to s#&%t so I wanted to hear what they had to say. They said to replace with the 4.0 but to do that you need to replace all 4 arms and all 4 CV arms and the turnbuckles as well. If you have to do that the price is stupid. guess I'm buying a set now to have them in my stock to save $. I guess an oz of prevention is better that n a pound of the cure. what a joke! That's terrible support.

Why would you need to replace "all 4 cv arms and the turnbuckles"?

The 4.0 is narrower than the 3.0
