Mike,
Looking at pics of that topdeck, looks like any Lipo with bullet plugs on the front corners (SMC, Thunderpower, Reedy, Intellect etc etc.) would interfere with the top deck. Only packs with bullets moved in towards the center will work. Am I looking at this right?
Thanks

Actually, those are prototype pics. The ones in stock are 6mm wider so most wider bullet plug packs should be fine.
Thanks,

Diff Dust Cover
Some lexan, scissors, compass and a hobby knife plus 5 minutes equals dust covers for my diff

Hey guys I just picked up a type r. I need a good starting carpet set up for low to med bite track that's pretty open. Thanks guys

i've seen a few ways to do it, but essentially (In my personal opinion of course), I think I'll just reserve my type-r for carpet. Tried it on asphalt and it was a dream...!

How does the kit rubber setup do for indoor carpet? I need a setup for a tight indoor carpet track with med grip...amybody point one out?
How does a spool effect handling and what situations should I use one over a diff or one way.? I will be running 17.5 RCGT type class.

Hey guys I picked one of these up the other day and Im just wondering in my thunder power 5200 lipos will fit without any mods.. thanks

Just a comment on the Lipo fitment issues...I use older Track Power lipos (the shiny gold cased ones) and they fit PERFECTLY. I only had to clearance the top deck ever so slightly to allow the bullet connectors a clear path to the battery.
The other packs that I know fit (because I've tried them) are the Thunder Power packs. They fit the plastic Lipo tray perfectly and the "pig-tail" leads (power on one side and balancing on the other) can be routed through the same spaces in the top deck that my bullet plugs fit through.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Mike

I have as issue with the front shafts.
When the steering is turned, the wheels are almost impossible to rotate. The CV's are VERY tight. Is this normal?

I recommend to run them in by hand (I fill it up with metal polish) until they loosen abit.
If you do run them now, you'll waste the shrink wrap because the pins will be pushed out. No you can't reuse them (shrink wrap).
After 3 packs they will be free
WOndering what Lipo do you use? thanks!

I was wondering about taking it apart for cleaning. Does the lexan come off everytime? No drama? What about the slots in the plastic outdrive?
I tried to use heat shrink and in the end my diff became so tight it's dysfuntional.
Currently I was thinking of reserving the losi ONLY for carpet races. Unless someone can change my mind *looking forward to that honestly
