No directions on how to set the throttle servo EPA correctly. There is a separate page just for setting throttle linkage to pull the carb barrel as straight as possible. This keeps a quality servo from burning up. http://losi.com/ProdInfo/Files/LOS_T...ke_Linkage.pdf
The extended KH mount helps prevent flex around the spur gear/clutch bell area. The teeth of these gears will last longer and the clutch bell bearing will last longer as well. The parts will run more true.

Bruce, the Truck is very durable. Some things that I have seen break from hard crashing are:
Front Gear box
Front spindles
Rear Hubs
Shock Shafts
I would pick up a rear shock shaft just in case. The fronts are common because so many people run the buggy. The rear shock size is exclusive to the truggy.
I got my truck when they first came out and just now wore out my first Ring and pinion for the rear end.

I'm ordering the front and rear shock shafts as well as front and back arms. Hopefully that will hold me over, I hate to have to bum parts at the track. I have no problem giving/loaning parts away but I like to be as self sufficient as possible.
By the way, thanks again for the spur gear last weekend.

Thanks Casey. The rear hubs and front spindles should be the same as my 8ight-2.0 buggy so I should be in good shape there, same goes for the front gear box.

Thanks. I have some of those for my eight-e 2.0 and they are the same. I need to do a complete inventory one of these days to see what all I don't have. One thing I do need to pick up sometime is some turn buckles and a center rear cv driveshaft. I have a center front driveshaft from my 8t 1.0 and I ordered some front/rear left/right driveshafts today.

No prob Bruce. I've been running the truck stock since they first came out. The ring and pinion that was going out this weekend was the orginal one. Don't worry about all of the option parts. As I have stated my truck is totally stock.
The truck is a little hard on rear wheel bearings but I usually just replace them every 3 races or so.

As for the bearings do you replace them every three races or every three race days? Either way I need to place an order with avid in the near future. Actually, I think you have a friend or sponsor that also does $1 bearings, if you can remind me who that is I'll support them this time.

Well watching yours lap me time after time it certainly seemed fast enough to me. I only have one "hop up" in mind.

Bruce, I replace them after every 3 race days or if they start to feel gritty. Sometimes they where fast and other times they dont. I use Ready Roller bearings!

How often do you guys replace silicone on your diffs and shocks?
I didn't replace factory fluids on mine, and after a month of running with it (2 races and a training) i was told by local experts that my diffs need new fluids. The truth is i had lots of oversteer at corners during the last race.

I replace diff fluids after every race. Most I will go is 2 races. I replace shock fluid about every 4-5 races. Although I do top my shocks off after every race day.
