Chalk up another win for the SCTE. Put gold springs on front, silver in the rear, 1410 motor geared 14/40, proline snipers on the corners, and this thing was hooked up and on a rail. Track hasn't been run in a while and got blown out pretty bad by the 1/8 scale guys but my scte seemed to just love this rough stuff and plowed right through the field. Man what an AWESOME vehicle. 
I seen a few of them run at PNB and at the Spring Fling at The Asylum, but I was racing those events, and couldnt really sit and watch the other trucks, seeing it today on a blown out, rutted up, dusty as all hell track you could really see the Losi shine...
oh yeah, tire and motor choice was pretty key too!!!
Good Job old man!!!

Yeah, it's a great place to have close to home. Driving was very inconsistent at best.

drill out the stock plastic shock spacer to fit on the 8ight stand off (8ight is thicker)
drill out the shock tower hole, thicker hole needed (only 1 can be drilled, so pick well otherwise not enough material will be left)
Note this may only work if you are using the stock towers or carbon towers as the alum towers have the grooves and you would need to be very creative w/ a dremmel to even attempt.

Can I ask you guys what you do for cleaning? I use compressed air and a brush.
I see guys spraying silicone or something on the bottom and suspension area's. Is there something else that should be done? Can you water the suspension area's or is it a bad idea?

Good question.. from looking at both of mine

My son's tires are hurting from 3 out or 4 being ripped off the rim. 
I was even able to get the big block revo out; both trucks driven hard with no breaks other than the tire issue. The RC God's where shinin' a light on me today.

The race day was just for short course....normally we run two races a month....this month had a 5th saturday in it, so we ran an extra/short course only race.
The mains were ran backwards just for fun....just to shake things up. Normally the mains and the qualifiers are all ran in the same direction.

Im ordering my losi this week, do i need any diff components like chris pins or are they updated from losi yet? Also what diff oils are a good start for out doors kinda loomy/loose. Im thinking more buggy like 7-7-5? Or 10-7-5 like im running in my e mugen??? Thanks for response, also while im here any one run the sidewinder esc with the 4pole castle? ESC looks like its no good, any info on this?
Thanks..!
Thanks..!
Don't know if the current batch of trucks has the updated pins....but Chris pins are worth it. PM hacker07.....he'll know.
Reading on here, some folks have boxes full of smoked sidewinder esc's. The RX8 with the 1410 is golden.
Ditch the stock shock towers, they're just stamped metal and will bend easy......I think most everyone has gone with the carbon fiber towers.
Our track is hard packed and loose/dusty. I ran 5/3/2 on it.....works like butta.

finally made it down to the track with all the new parts in. Truck ran great and people were drewling over the truck. It was great, ran 12 min practice runs and temped my tekin at 136, made last run a long one close to 20 mins and temped at 166. I love this truck, cant wait for the last rockstar race this friday!!!
