the tool most use is a Small Chain breaker/rivet popper....there about 100$ for a name brand version's.....but a 50$ version can be had on Ebay from SportingForLess....works like a charm.

i would think turning that allen key would be a pain....as the "chain breaker" style u have Lots of leverage with a long handle.....i dunno maby not......and not every chain breaker will work....some are Way too big for the application....u neeed a 2.9mm pin for it to work properly.

the prototype that i have works great.....i put it in a vice and turn away....
this is also half the price as the one from a-main.....and works just as well

Ever since I bent two half shafts, I bring my trusty little vice now. It's the same vice I found in the dumpster of my apartment complex. Oh yes; it just gets better.

Hi Guys
Just wondering if you guys would mind posting a couple of pictures of your fuel lines & how you have them placed.
I have found with my cars that if i go straight from tank to carby it runs very rich at full tank then goes lean at almost empty??
I have run a longer hose lately & mounted it higher than the tank using a loop around mixture screw & it seems to be more consistent.
I have also gone to a much longer exhaust hose as well.
This has been the same for both truggy & buggy so i was just chasing ideas if possible.
Any help would be appreciated.

Nice pics, looks good.
I run the OS speed .21 in my 8ight. Im thinking of switching to the ninja for next season. How do you like the ninja .21??
Alot of debating on the forum, Whats the word guys?? is there gonna be a revised Nitro eight coming out??
I just sold mine and i wanna wait to buy a another 8ight. Not until i know for sure that Losi wont put out a WC edition 8 or whateve.??
