We just sent pricing info to our distributors and dealers. So there should be pre-orders opening up soon at the usual places (A Main Hobbies, Tower, etc). Thanks for your interest!

Anyone know where I can find a good indoor clay setup for V4 Mugen? Mine feels good right now but I would like to compare and tweak. Thanks!

I may be wrong but I believe he just answered that question for another member.

Not sure about a specific setup, but tell us what the car is doing now and what you want it to do. We can suggest a few things to try out. Do you have enough steering, traction, do you have on-power, off-power, jump handling, etc.

I got my new radio today (Airtronics MT-4) and I'm having some trouble getting the receiver into the box (Ve8 V4 chassis). It seems like it will not fit with the lid on. Anyone with Airtronics rx's able to get them into the box or should I just mount it on the chassis direct or something?

Thanks.

You might check MAtt Farris' indoor setup. He ran a Mugen ECO, slightly different but should still be very close.

If you have a good balanced outdoor setup, go up one oil weight and limit droop ~5mm or more. IF you have stiffer sway bars it'd be worth trying a stiffer front or both.

Heavier center diff oil should help drive and take the edge off of turn in if traction is high.

Try standing the RX up in the box with the plugs on the bottom. We know it fits, but it is tight. Thanks.

Will do. Thanks.

Edit: Worked perfectly. I even got my glitch buster cap in the box, too.

All of the bodies made for the Losi 8e should fit our Losi chassis. Thanks.
