By the looks of the photos you posted on the last page, that carbon fiber vinyl should last about 1 lap on that grinding wheel surface of the track where you race. Looks good, but it isn't going to last.

i have done this, will be testing saturday....maybe tomorrow night.

Im wondering something though, the bottom washers, do you use them if you use the inner holes? It seems the inner ones are spacer farther towards the front.

Hello, does anyone know if the 22 RTR can handle a 3S lipo? My bro reckons it will fry the ESC, but I can't find any info on this even on google. Thanks

Specs for the RTR ESC

http://www.losi.com/Products/Feature...rodId=LOSB9503

The one you want in particular is

Input Voltage:7.2V-8.4V

So yeah your bro is right, the ESC will let out the magic smoke if you try to run a 3 Cell (11.1v) on it.

Default Aluminum upgrades - weight?

Has anyone a link or know off hand the weight of the more popular aluminum upgrades?

Front alum pivot
Front alum camber block
Rear alum camber block - rear motor
Servo Alum posts

I do not plan to buy all of these upgrades, but since so many set ups include them, it'd be nice to get the balance correct.

thanks in advance.

Jared Kirkwood is a local racer here, and is spot on with this. I have been running this for months and the rear of the buggy feels much more consistent and my shock shafts have lasted much longer by doing this mod.

I also recommend you look at some of his other blogs. The trackstar Orings he runs are fantastic as well.
