hey mate ryper hobbies in perth deal with associated stuff i believe, if your desperate give them a call (08) 6254 2992 or you could just purchase a losi excellent part support locally no purchasing parts from the u.s.

What exactly do you need ?

I have new:
#89112 Complete Diff Assy (F/R), fitted with ceramic bearings
#89114 Pinion Gear
#89115 Gear Case
#89120 Diff Gears & Pins Kit

I also have a used diff which ate a pinion gear. The internal spider gears, pins, shims and gear case are fine, but I think I may have stolen a side gear out of it at some stage.

PM me if any of this would help.

Thanks heaps guys or explaining the 1/5 scale thing. It makes total sence now, I did some reasearch and wow I dident realise how much damage a 1/5 can do esically the baja's. Just in case ur wondering the 5ive is not a short wheel base it's actually a tad longer than a Baja , ok well u have my word I wont go on the track with my 5ive... What about the gravel path? It's awesome for snakies lol.

With any luck I might see some of u guys down there, I'm building up a losi 8ight-e just for that track, when it's finished I would be very interested in joining the club.

Thanks heaps again for answering my questions with out making me feel stupid. Can believe I never read the sign... Oops

Hey just wondering what combos are the electric guys running?
Ezrun, xerun, castle, tekin?

So far I'm liking xerun and tekin... But is sensorless really worth the extra cash over the ezrun... Don't know about castle, seem there is a very low chance of the ESC failing

Well since I can't race my 5ive, I painted my 8ight to look like one

Whats going on in Naracoorte

Hi guys,

I'm writing this to give you a bit of a heads up on what is happening in Naracoorte at the moment. Some of you are aware that we have had a few issues with the pre-existing surface here. We tried a number of things to no avail and the large jump at the back and 5 pack at the front where a little dangerous from a marshalling perspective.

To solve these hiccups, we are now in the process of building a new track and I can tell you this is a massive task for a small club. At this stage we are trackside all weekend this weekend moving the pit straight and prepping for container movement, putting down the layout and a variety of other jobs. Heck we have been there every night this week and will probably be there every day until tri series, my wife will not be amused LOL! Easier to ask forgiveness right?

Wednesday this week, Bull Earth moving are coming in to raise a heap of material and move the good material on the existing track. Hopefully this will provide enough material to get the majority done. The weekend of the SA Titles, a couple of our members will be at our track working with a bobcat driver who has a background of building motorcross tracks to do the jump sections and general work we need done that requires the bobcat. We have gone with this person as what he can achieve in a day with a bobcat would be 4 times more than we can do so hopefully we get a win on that front. Dont expect big jumps cause we have to build our track beginner compatible if we are to build our club membership base, we are trying to achieve a good fun track for beginners and experienced people alike.

Please bare with us, we have a huge deal to achieve in a small period of time. The track will hopefully be great, just bare with us as we are doing the best we can for you guys come the 1st and 2nd of December.

We look forward to seeing you guys in December for the Tri Series and ask that you start to get your entries in so we can get an idea on numbers so we can nail down catering. In the coming week I will post some details on accommodation, dining and track progress etc so you guys can start to get things book.

If anyone wants to contact me with any questions etc, you are more than welcome to call me.

Have a great weekend guys and I'll see you at the titles next weekend!

Cheers
