The only trouble I've had so far is with the spacing on the layshaft using the PRS adapter. It's still just snug enough to bind up a little bit. That and the slot in the adapter wasn't long enough for the pin, but that's a PRS thing. It was a good 1/8" too short, so there was no forcing it in there. I may just sand down one of those spacers a tiny bit to free it up.

sportpak- I would recommend getting the Losi machined and clamping drive hexes in all the available sizes and more importantly, a 7mm nut driver for the new (wheel) axle nuts.

There's a hole in the chassis (countersunk on the bottom) just a bit behind the center front bumper hole. It doesn't appear that there's any real use for this hole UNLESS (Losi is genius) and it is made for a transponder mount. Which is EXACTLY what I used it for. Transponder fits perfectly below the diff, just behind the bumper and in front of the servo. Beautiful!

hey guys

the fans are 25x25mm and the Novak Fans not only fit well but are quite good

the countersink of the two forward bulkhead mounts are purposely cut shallower than the others. This was done because the side wall is already thin in that spot. What you may consider is using a steel screw that does not have the YFS marking on the screw head OR Ti screws in those two positions becuase they are typically a thinner headed screw. Then you should not have to do any additional countersink.

I use stainless screws for the bottom of the chassis and they work real well with the factory countersink. I use stainless for I can get them in bulk from McMaster and they are cheap.

I guess I will not be using that spot since I have no ears on any of my transponders.

i too have cut the ears off and have used a piece of lexan under the transponder with servo tape on the PT and servo taped the lexan to the chassis. but you could easily drill the lexan and put a screw through it
