I'm installing some turnbuckles and I just noticed there's 3 different sizes (always thought they were all the same).

Where do I put the longest, middle, and shortest of the turnbuckles?
Front: Camber =
Front: Steering =
Rear: Camber =

Thanks for the help!

For those that care, I just got some of the new cyclone wheels by AKA for the SCTE and they fit great, same exact size and dimensions as the stock wheels and nice rigidity and look.

standard threads except for the diff screws but all still need standard hex wrenches.

Likewise bro, I appreciated the heads up on those wheels, all appears to be good though. Hope to see you at WCRC soon, I will be at the club race on Saturday and starting next Sunday I will be there every week for the JConcepts April Fools Series.

That's a pretty cool looking bumper. Glad to finally see RPM jump in the game and really glad that they made a new design for the SCTE rather than just re-using their old design all over again. This one looks more like a Slash 4x4 which I think is a good looking bumper, it's just not strong. But you know the RPM one will be nice and strong!

The ESC can handle larger motors with a fan but like already stated a 2 pole 540 motor in this truck is a strain. You will fight to get performance out of it without melting it down. Better to upgrade to ta 2 pole 550 like the novak ballistic or Tekin SC4X or go with the 4 pole 540 motors like the Tekin Pro-4

new losi body

casper and hacker.... the new truck looks great. now !! can you make it so the clips go in to the body with out hitting the sides of the hood scoop or the fake end rear brace so the clips dont mess up the body and they last a little longer. I race but I also crash running big 1/8th scale tracks,. my bad.. but in 1 yr I have gone through 3 bodies..(is that normal?) just an idea.. I was looking at the video and the hood and back looks like you need mini clips so it don't mess it up Thanks Great truck I love it..

It is a 6 lb truck landing on a lexan body. Yeah it is going to crack. they made the new body from .040 lexan which is pretty thick stuff. Typcial bodies are .030 lexan. This should help.

also if body life is important to you (as it should be) reinforcing the body with dry wall tape and shoe goo in critical area's where the body normally cracks will help them last longer.
