Do you mean put the O-Ring on the BOTTOM of the fan??? This is one of the fans/heatsinks i have.

The t bone bumper just doesn't look scale to me. And no mudflapz!

Have a question, waiting on my seconds Losi to get here, and I received the replacement gears and pins from Horizon about a month ago from my first Losi that I had. Anyway how can I tell if the gear set contains the updated pins?

Does anyone know?

FAN issue
Cut the ends of the blades off a 1/4 inch.. Gets rid of the Flex and they last forever.. I went through 5 fans before Randy Pike at Tekin told me how to do it ... Hope this helps save you some $

I agree, most of the RCShox talk should be kept in that thread, however since Larlev is also running an SCTE and I know he posts in here often (it was before I saw he was also posting his experience in that thread) I asked that question here since it is SCTE related

But thanks for the advice, since I normally run 27.5 and most people are running 30wt at my track. For the 2-stage pistons, I think I'm going to start off with 22.5wt and go from there. Can't wait to see how these things work!

There is a 3rd generation rear bumper that fixes most of the breaking of the rear bumper. Not saying you can't break it as I have faith some of you guys can break anything

But it is much stronger in the places it was breaking before.
