Losi must be doing something right.

Losi '009 Type R? Are you being sarcastic or there is something in the works?

If I remember right, the LCD's used on the XXX-4 use setscrews to hold them together. Can you expect anything else from Xray though?

losi isn't putting a lot of work in there onroad program so I’m not sure what we will see from the m in the future. But I do have to say the type r imo is the best car out right now

I’m going to try and run schreffler's set up that he posted. But I’m not sure if I will get the parts to run a standard link in the front instead of the Jr link. How much of a difference would it make if I just run the Jr link?

The largest item with the JR link is that it virtually removes all camber gain from the front of the car. That, alone, takes away a lot of steering with the Type R. The car is very sensitive to camber link changes.

I had the same problem... I shortened the pin by grinding the ends down with a dremel. make it small enough so that it is not too short in case you need to use the losi spurs.
