IMO they are both as good.

I went with the losi when I switched to lipos. I couldnt stand having that many weights on the righ side of my T2...

Hey guys im trying to gear up for a race this weekend and lost one of the c-hub bushings. all local sources are out of stock, anyone know of a different brand that will for sure fit? they are the bushing that slide into the c-hub from the inside before you put in the steering hub.

I personally have never run a 17.5 but it is the recommended starting point for FDR for that motor at 3.5. I would have to guess if you need to change gearing you will have to purchase a PRS adapter and get smaller spur gears. I am not saying it is the perfect gearing, just the starting point.

So what would I need to get this car working on carpet? Also could someone post a good starting point for a setup.

Are you gonna run foam or rubber? If it is rubber go back a page or two and you can get Mike Haynes's setup from IIC this year. He TQ'd and won 13.5 rubber with that setup and I ran it as well at IIC. It is very drivable and worked well on high bite carpet.

For foam you can try this setup: http://www.petitrc.com/reglages/losi...IC20070930.pdf I ran this at IIC as well this year and again very driveable.

I just purchased the Type R and was excited to build it, when I got to the rear section (Bag C) there was 2 identical hindge pin blocks. It is mis-packaged, so my building came to a halt Now I have to wait till Monday to order a set, Rant over

Don't pay for them, contact Horizon and get them replaced.

I've got a problem with one of my wheel hexes. No matter what wheel I put on it the wheel wobbles slightly. It also means I get different camber readings depending on where its sitting. Should I just get a replacement or some alloy ones? If so what part number are the standard alloy hexes?

Thanks

I would switch to the alloy ones.

Heres a link

Also depending on what you are running you may want to try .195s all around for foam or .195s in the rear and .165s in the front for rubber.

had a the same problem with my car and found that the only way to get rid of the problem was to fit some jrxs axil shims behind the hex pins as thay are a few thou thicker than the "r" shims and this will take up the slack wear the
axils go through the bearings

I have already tried this but it was no better. I just think the hex is distorted. I will give it another go though
