So in the months you've been away, you've missed quite a lot of stuff with this truck. Since it's a new truck, things do go at a pretty quick pace such as aftermarket offerings, or updates on factory run changes etc. which is why this thread grows so quickly as timannnn6 was pointing out, especially with the popularity and numbers this truck has sold. So him just being lighthearted and observant about it I'd say is a hell of a lot more useful than a lot of the banter that goes on. The fact that you pointed out that it has very little, if any, "helpfull" (by the way, helpful only has 1 "L" in it) just adds to the garbage often cluttering up these threads. He was just simply offering some kinda neat info that just might give us a slight chuckle or bead of pride about how popular our thread is. In all honesty, the stat that he stated about this thread shows that it has been a very helpful thread to many people. Now, instead of berating others for no good reason, how about you go ahead and get caught up in the latest info that is important to you since you own an SCTE and this is an SCTE thread. Here's one that directly relates and could be useful to you...BCE now offers a 7075 milled chassis that is significantly lighter AND stronger than the stock chassis. Since you bent your chassis, you could probably benefit from this

If you have any questions about what I or others think you should do to mod your truck and to keep some of this stuff from happening again that you experienced, I and others on this site can help you with that since you've been MIA for a few months. Also, keep an eye out for center cvd's in the not too distant future that will use set screws instead of the pins that many have had issues with popping out.

You had kind of a harsh tone to your post and it doesn't help anyone, so let's just chalk it up to sleepless nights from your new little one and long hours doing an often thankless but VERY important job. So, thank you for helping keep food on our plates as your source of livelihood, get some sleep and let's keep it friendly and informative Take care, man.

not real sure how i bent it or when i bent it dring the 10 min main. i have given the truck a pretty good beatin sincei got it in march. i am having trouble with the truck nose diving and i took some pretty nasty landings. i will try to get a pic and post when i get time.



alright i flew off the handle. little stressed. not with the baby but with the farming deal. i need to borrow about 100k and everything will be smooth again!

i appologize to timannnn6.

i know about the new chassis. i bought Bobby Gately's stock chassis while admiring his BCE chassis at the AMS race.

I am having trouble with the truck nose diving. It may be the fact that might out drives are so worn that they are causing it to bind during suspension travel?? Or I may need a different suspension set up. I am running a 4 cell and a mamba 2200v>

What shock oil/spring combo would you suggest?

Thanks.

All the fast guys winning with Losi's here haven't done anything to'em. Hell half of'em haven't even rebuilt the diffs.

I said it before and many have also said it, "Just get Chrispins" and be done with it. It will be the best upgrade you give your rig.

As for guys waiting for their "replacement pins" from Losi or Horizon, it took mine about two months. They sent me three complete sets...it took forever...but I got them. Order your Chrispins and the turnaround time is 3-4 days if the moon and the planets are positioned just right.
