Does anyone really use body posts anymore or has everyone gone to velcro? Is it that much more convenient?

Best response of the decade. Well played, sir, well played.

Zinger+information.

Lance Armstrong and Chuck Norris wanted to see who had the most balls.

Chuck Norris won by five.

If Chuck Norris has six balls, so must your thrust bearing.

This here is a great lesson on being careful who you listen to!

D!@# this ball diff, after burning through 2 sets of BFAST balls, 2 sets of diff rings, AE nut/bolt then Losi aluminum nut holder, and a diff gear I continue to get gritty diffs in just a few runs. Is the SC10 gear diff a direct drop in or do I need to mod the tranny? What parts do I need? There's a reason 1/8 buggies don't use these hell-designed diffs!

I don't think it has been posted here yet but over on the Oople forum Worlds thread it was mentioned that all the TLR 22's with wide hexes did NOT fit in the box at the Worlds. Guess they had a loose box at the Cactus? They also mentioned that some B44.1's did not fit. So the TLR guys had to go to a thinner hex. Not surprising that IFMAR has the strictest tech inspection.
