I would trim down the front body post so they are only two holes above the body. The way you have them if you hit another car the force will break the front bumper mount (when they get hit)

There are some lexan side dams that are part of the rear of the body that you need to cut out and servo tape to the sides of the rear wing in the recessed areas. These give the body its directional stability. It will be loose if you try to run it like it is.

See the attached pic for how they should look.

Anyone have a template for the side dams? I guess I threw them away but have some lexan to cut out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok so I get up early this morning and excited to run this new setup. I show up to Crystal Park Raceway and track is being redone and so no go

So quick thinking, I head on out to Bending Corners a bit smaller track but don't want to waste my day and still want to run. Here is a short video of Raffell running it while I took a short video. It was a race Saturday and was able to practice between heats so had fun.

+ YouTube Video

Have you tried adjusting the pivot plate like it says on page 3 of the manual?

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the link issue. Please, don't sand them!

There is an easy way to fix this problem…. However, there is really no easy way to tell you… but, it’s time to squeeze your balls. Scary huh?

Actually, all joking aside, with the aluminum balls and the plastic links off the car and in your hand, pop the balls in the plastic. If they are bound and do not rock freely, with the aluminum ball in the plastic socket, slightly squeeze the plastic with regular pliers. Move the pliers to a few different angles and slightly squeeze the ball link. The pressure forms the plastic to the aluminum ball perfectly. After a couple of slight squeezes, you will notice the aluminum ball is very free and rocks smoothly with no slop. Try not to go too crazy at first and you will get a good feel of just what it takes to custom fit each ball to the link.

Feel free to e-mail us at [email protected] if you need any help or assistance.

Is there a threaded titanium ball joint we can use on our Gen-X 10s instead of the CRC-provided aluminum ones? I assume that they cannot be metric.

I like to use this Losi ball nut (female ball stud) to replace some of the CRC aluminum ball nuts. Have not seen the identical part in titanium. There are titanium ball studs available. I recommend the steel part, though.

Losi A6009 Losi JRXS female ballstuds, ball nuts (replace soft aluminum) $5.90

Lunsford Titanium ball studs
