KAPPOW truck cam alive, first round i ran quick enough to make the A main (in a normal style race) second round it got quicker! BUT the way this race is run you get the best 3 out of 5 quals to determine the mains. since i had a real crappy day yesterday i only finished 1 round in SC and left before the third round. so this put me 3rd in the B main with a 2 man bump. tone goes off and i managed to get out front by the third turn and pretty much check out UNTIL lap traffic comes up and i get MALAYED sending me all the way back to 5th:flaming: i managed to catch back up to third within 2 seconds but it was not looking like i could catch him in time but wouldnt ya know it the Losi that was leading DUMPED:lol: so i am now in the triple A mains for tomorrow. during the second qual the rear was getting loose so i switched to SS rebars in the back with soft holeshots in the front. Truck felt awesome in the main, super fast (thanx sourdiesel for the 4600!!) plenty of punch! the bad new is that Ryan Lutz is here and that dude is FAAAAAST his freakin SC laptimes are faster than 99% of pro E buggy!! only E buggy quicker is himself and an AE sponsered guy, the Rango is impressive!
so in the SC main there are 10 Losi's, 1 Rango and one SC10!

will chime in tomorrow night for the results!

Pinned, maybe 3 minutes into the first pack. Basket with 3 HT pads, nut was a few turns before flush. LRP TC V2/4.5 550 motor on the new 3.0 software.
I wonder if regular pads are the way to go?

That's the result of mine too. I use regular pads and have done that to two idlers. Bottom line is you need to get the metal ones, and metal diff. But: Try regular pads first obviously before you spend 60 bucks on gears.

I use the spacer mod with HD pads and all I can say is "bingo".

Thanks for the quick responses and good info. Looks like I will purchase some Hazard wheels. Any parts I should keep on hand or what are the first to need replacing? Concerning brands of tires, any preferences between AKA, Proline and JConcepts?

I noticed a lot of binding in my shocks but its not between the piston and body, its between the O-rings and the shaft. The car is brand new do the O-rings just have to get worn in? Or is there something wrong?
Thanks!
