Actually I spelled it incorrectly it's Vektor and they will be available soon!

We have them on order at Track Star R/C .com and they should be available in the next few weeks.

Nice to see AKA putting out some tires for 1/10. Always like Losi's tires.

What tires are you running? I'm on Bar Codes right now.
Definitely let me know when you come!


As for tires, several of us have been running AKA Rebars in super soft on the rears. We were running the super soft rebars in front as well, but depending on track condition the new Vektors we've been testing are pretty dialed (ran them at OCRC too and they were just awesome)

The plan this weekend is to hit up WCRC on Saturday to start doing some testing/practice for the Reedy race. Was trying to get Randy to go, but he has to work

The front axles (BB33) are offset. Per page 10 of the instruction manual you can position them either forward or back. This is the reference on the set up sheet "R" or "F".

Also the set up sheet refers to +1 or 0. This refers to the shim (C1) +1 being if you use it per the instructions or chose to leave it out (which would be "0")

Thanks a lot!

Just to be sure i understood correctly, i can go R or F by moving the D1 plastic shims...? The +1 to 0 is now clear.

What should i expect from the car going to R or F and to 0 to +1?

The BB33 can be removed and turned 180* to create more or less trailing. See the picture of the axle in the right upper corner of page 10.

Gears didnt make it in today but if they do tomorrow or Friday afternoon, I'll try to hit the track Friday evening. If not, I guess I'll bust out the nitros and try out the new 1/8 Wonder.

You are welcome!

I don't want to ever come across sounding like a jerk. Sometimes it takes a little explaining to make sure the process is correct

No big deal, I'm sure it will show up today so I'll just race tomorrow. I just appreciate you guys getting it out the door quickly.

On another note, I seem to have lost my springs (Associated) somewhere, guess I'll have to buy some more of those
