Can verify the longer screws with locknuts work great! I had the same issue

Long screw with the lock nut works awesome! I tried it with our 2.0. And it worked so well I did it on our 3.0 build out of the box. And on my 8t.

Yes I am running the quick change with the arrows backwards from stock. I am running a racers edge bell. You have to run a brand new vented clutch Bell with the buku.

Oh and mo is right if you are not running tko special clutch bell bearings you should be. As long as you oil them they will lat you all year.

Saw one of these at my last race - really grabbed my attention(just sitting on the pit table - didn't watch it race really.. Was racing truggy..) Looked super sturdy, and just..., well, good.. So what are the issues? Still a fast wear rate? And when the's the 3.0 truggy coming out?..

And what is the deal btw with clutches on Losis? Do you have to run a Losi-specific clutch bell or something?.. That would kind of put me off if so..

I have too much AE stuff to switch brands right now, but if I could........

I decided to change my suspension package are and I got my hand on some of my old O'Donnell springs. Since they taper the same I tried them out and the were WAY better than the TLR ones, so if anyone has them I recommend them.
