Don't know about gettin a Strike, might just wait til they trick out the XXXT CR Short Course truck.

i started with the same truck or JRT?? it was a while ago. Bought it used and then my first new kit truck was the LXT when that came out. Then xx and xxt and then the CR conversion for both, a GTX and then the XX4 and then stopped racing. lol

This new AE is almost like starting over again. in a sense. But i did make it a requirement that i at least still run the losi threaded shocks.

But if losi made a Short Course XXXT conversion.....o man...you better believe you will see my SC10 in the classifieds section.

Just got back after a night of practice and the SC10 is DIALED! Starting to have a little more respect for these damn associateds now. lol


is there a way to get rid of the slop thats in the front wheels?

I can't believe how sloppy my front end is too, the trucks only been ran 2 nights. I'm going to put the inline axles on to get rid of the slop.

4 or 5 per side is def overkill, but I have yet to hear of anyone running that much. Different toes get thrown around in here and most of the time people don't mention if its per side or total.

WOW This entire conversation I thought we were talking about camber.

Some play is a good thing in off-road. If anything get the rpm ball cups.

For the slop I put shims between the e-clip and the knuckle...that will tighten alot up, then on the shaft before you put the wheel on...

Again....factory rear toe is not adjustable and is set at 3 degrees (total) of toe in and 2 degrees of anti-squat.

Then yes, -1 to -2 degrees of camber is what most people run. I have used almost -3 degrees on a DESTROYED track to help prevent the rear from catching edges and spinning/rolling.

The whole front of mine is loose as well. I guess it doesn't bother me enough to fix it. Maybe I should take a closer look at it...

Been rockin the Losi shocks for months.

No leakin and threaded adjustability, just happened to have em hangin around.

I've been sayin all along, the more Losi stuff that gets on my truck the better it gets.

Losi shocks, 1 degree rear hubs, rear bearings and oh yeh, Losi stickers

Though I am sure some where there is an "offical" shim, I bought a tiny hardware kit that included small washers, that are the same size as the ones that would work when shimming or taking the slack out of areas such as where the hinge pins are.

On my other trucks I have shimmed, with the wahsers, front arms, spindles, and almost anywhere there was excessive play between two parts that were hinge pinned together, and then became loose over time.

If you do decide to tighten up the front end, just becareful because its easy to shim it to tight.

My shocks don't leak, just a tiny bit of seepage.

How well do the VCS shock caps work on there? I had the shop order some and then the bleeder caps came out.

So far so good, I'm using GS Racing bladders w/ the VCS caps and my shocks are extremly smooth.

I hear with enough attention they can be as smooth as Losi shocks.

How's the truck doin Crawler, mine's been a blast.
Didn't want to get into the tire buyin wars but had to step it up since guys I didn't have to worry too much about came knockin on the door after sportin new treads.
Now I picked some up and it's all good again.
