The stock ESC and motor combo in the RTR are some of the most under rated products on the market. Collin Weatherholt has been using them for almost two years without any issues. They have good power are smooth without any cogging and are plenty fast enough to get the job done. Personally I feel many of the systems are just overkill.

Im curious what the > http://www.amain.com/team-losi-racin...arrier/p275033
do you use this for indoor or outdoor? Can you let me know if I just add the caster blocks, or do I change anything else besides ? I was going to move the Batt. forward but my car is working well and did not want to fool with it. But... if it can be better.... Hummmmmm Anything to help me beat the local 13 year old fast guys. LOL

hello everyone,
just got back in the game after two years off! I recently purchased a new 3.0 e buggy from the lhs and have a few questions. I know some of these questions are in the thread but I really don't have time to spend on rctech like I used to.
1. plastic spur gear. change to metal spur gear? or run it stock? 1900kv
2. are there any must have upgrades needed to make the buggy reliable?
3. what size pinion will I need for tekin 1900kv? medium size track
4. what is the best stearing servo for 1/8 buggy these days?
5. shock setup (pistions/oils) my local track is super hard packed, high grip, big jumps. a lot of bottoming out.
thank you guys, I am very exited to run this buggy.

standart 3.0e body vs JC "Silencer" 3.0e body
Is it any difference how buggy handles if using standart TLR 3.0e body or JC "Silencer" 3.0e body?

After being out if the scene for awhile I purchased a TLR 3.0 (nitro) to slowly build.
During this time I purchased a TLR 3.0e to practice with. I finally got a chance to run it today. I am pretty impressed so far. I drove a TKI3e today it was very planted compared to the 3.0. However, I have not had much time to dial in the 3.0.
A few guys locally are running the Kyosho springs (light blue) on the 3.0. Do any of you have any experience running the Kyosho springs? I'd like some feedback on this.

I wouldnt change to the truggy casters for indoors. They make the car push. If the car feels lazy trying shorting the rear camberlink and go to a lower hole on the tower. Lower rear diff will help like 3k. 2.3 bars all around. Brass weight in the car. Hope these ideas help.

Sounds like a solid start. @ 5-7-3, changing roll bars now. What is this brass you speak of? Part number? Found it, the 40 grams for the front end, looks exactly like what it needs, also picked up some rear green springs. Will be running 35/35 for shock oil. Should be better. Not that it sucks now, its the best handling buggy I have driven at that track. Just needs a bit of fine tuning.

Jc, Collin runs the truggy castor with the brass, rear green springs, 5 7 2 in the diff's short rear camber link in the lower hole rear, 35 30 wt oils with stock pistons. We have found the green springs and truggy castor gives more steering. I'm not sure how a softer spring in the rear would make the car turn better.

Well normally a softer rear spring wouldn't allow the car to steer, if anything it should take steering away. I can try various setups and see which one I like best. Picked up a set of Gold Bar Codes and AKA red foams, They suck at the track at the beginning, but its the tire that was recommended to me by the owner. Once broken in they should be awesome. All of the fast guys run them no matter what E-Buggy they are on, just takes forever and a day to hit the sweet spot, but once there tires usually last about 2 months of 3 times a week track time. May have to break out the Sticky Kicks the first few runs.
