The losi is fine in low grip... Its all about getting a good balanced setup and a good rear diff.
As for the layshaft... I was lucky enuf to run a prototype for a while before the went to production. There are no negative sides to using it but the positives is quite a list. In short it makes the chassis more "normal" so you can run normal spurs and have zero lipo problems. There is no good reason not to use one

Good to hear that about the layshafts. I got some in the mail.
Thanks,

I would like to say to everyone outside of the US that has ordered from that the postage has been taking a little longer than it should. Australia Post claims 7-10 days, however its seems to be taking more like 10-14 days.
Otherwise thanks to everyone for the kind words and good luck racing with the shafts. I hope to have another upgrade for the Type R soon.

I, too, am no longer with Losi. Larry and I work as a team with who we run for and making a move to another company... it was just time to do it. I can't fault the Type R one bit at all. The car is still a phenominal car and I've won my first big races with it. I still think the car, when released, was ahead of its time.
As for remaining Losi TC drivers... I can only think of 2 at the moment. Dave Johnson and Matt Howard. I could be wrong though. They could have moved on as well.
Like Haynes mentioned when he left Losi, we'll still be around. It's a small community of us racers.

To be honest, I'm not sure who is left.

BTW, will Losi continue to support the Type R, and work on R&D to refine or develop a new car in future?

It really doesn't need much though. Since it was released the motors have got a bit heavier and the batteries quite a bit lighter. These days I think its a bit rear biased. To get 50/50 F/R you need a lot of lead up near the front axle. If the front to rear weight distribution could be compressed more to the center, it should technically turn in faster(rotate) and not be so stubborn to straighten up again.
I should be testing this theory in the next few weeks.
