I don't remember sorry, but with my mods anything fits on there, not that it really even needs it, here a better pic, took the rear chassis brace off altogether.

i like how the chassis brace allows for more air to get to the motor.

That's what I was thinking as well before this weeks racing, or the Losi, but I was happy with my car yesterday racing, all the power to the wheels I needed and stayed nice and straight under full throttle, I feel it needs more weight in it, as it felt a bit "light" thru some of our off camber corners.

I also get the feeling the Rango would suffer from the same on our track, we have big elevation changes and lots of off camber corners, The Losi can power thru with there weight, were I was on tipy toes, but I can fix that, thinking a 3mm steel plate under the chassis will do it. The truck showed me enough to keep trying, biggest issue yesterday was driver error.

Well as you can see there's been lots of mods, looking at making the top brace lighter, and may add a plate under the complete chassis to lower all the weight, it's 95% there.

The guys running the Losi here have spend huge $$$ on them as well, we all need to remember that, for me to change and be up to speed with these guys i'd be out some big cash, and yesterday my truck was very fast, drove around the other trucks down the straight, but lack of weight let me down here and there.

Once you crack open a bottle of CA, I give it 6 months absolute tops before I replace it. It collects moisture and looses its effectiveness.

Tire / wheel bead still needs to be cleaned. Glue will also last longer if kept in the fridge...or at least thats what i heard

That could be your problem, I just use cheap CA clue, if things are cleaned well you should have no issues.
