For months now. The thing is Losi fixed the problem before the SCTE was released. The screw up was over seas. Losi had the problem pegged and had the fix for it. It's just unfortunate that the pins were not built to the new Losi specs.
It was back in January when you posted about it, Ryan also mentioned they found the issue that same day. They are harder, but not as hard as they should be.

You need to call Horizon.

I think Ryan didn't know... He was told the hardened pins where put in the trucks. I believe Ryan, but I think there is a mix up on the other side of the pond.

Not sure why it would take 3 months to get pins. I don't believe it will take that long. If it does, there is a serious issue in their process and I smell re-org lol.

Hey if you willing to share I would buy some. Or I would at least like to know where you are sourcing the titanium so I could have some made.

Not really. Its an once at the worst possible place, up high and on the ends of the truck.

Id like to go the other way, making the ends of the truck lighter.

Thanks!!! Since u have both aluminum and carbon towers which do u prefer? I run on mostly rough 1/8 tracks and bent the rear tower on a bad landing so durability is an issue.
