Let me break this down for you again since clearly, you did not read the entire post.
here are your answers
The Losi has no mods really, just needed stronger metal or replacement parts. If Losi decides to use better metal, nothing changes.
This AE requires mods to be somewhat competitive (ahem, modifications).
Changes to the vehicle to make it perform better and I think you try to peddle some, hmmmm.
AE has the most championships but they have Always had the best drivers. Very smart! It is the driver. The Ryan's could beat us with coyote's New Brite
Sad but true.
My 8.2 can win out of the box. No "mods" required and the only "personalization" is with my paint.
With any forum, I troll to learn and educate. You seem to "troll" to make a profit but kudos to you. I really applaud that but I see how you and others take offense and it hurts your biz. I apologize for that.
I will bow out now an let you flame me some more but like I said, time is on my side with this truck..

As far as the Losi only need better metal, then you def. have not learned enough about either the AE or Losi to give any opinion what so ever on either 4x4........ Seriously get out of this thread unless you can get your foot out your mouth and actually contribute something to it other then your useless and to be honest stupid and worthless responses.........

Thanks again man, that saved my ass this weekend! I had what turned out to be the gear breaking loose from the top shaft in the last qualifier, when I took the cover off I saw that the spur was worn down, thought that was the problem & replaced the spur, but my dumbass didn't run the truck until about 20mins before the main, then I tore the whole back end down, swapped out the shaft, and put it back togather just in time to plop it down on the starting grid before the main.
Then half way though the main, my pionon gear started slipping on the shaft and took me out of the race. I think the problem was that I switch from 15/62 to 14/62 after the first practice and the loctite hadn't set prior to running it again and it eventully back it's way out. Probably due to me having the slipper too tight and "punch" set to high.

Good Idea, but I wonder if you could have gotten one of the ends off using some acetone. Then you could clip one end off right at the end cap, then soak it until the CA unbonds, clean it up then cut the other end of the shaft to size and cap it there instead of having to epoxy which I don't think will hold up very long.
I've tried to fix carbon landing gear before using epoxy but they always snapped off, but would get me though one landing or so (better to crash land than to not fly in my opinion) not worth undoing what you've already got as it's not really a problem if it breaks, but might be good to add a zip tie around the belt gard so if it does break the sticks won't come out and act like pole vault

btw, i got mtk's clutch basket, and it works great. to my door in FL within 4 days. i don't have the skills/equipment to mill something like that, or would have attempted it myself. enjoying playing with different pad combinations, makes the slipper useable, just as everyone has said

Hell yeah. I'm on the track trying to clear ridges and doing back flips all the time. Slashes are getting put on the bench before I am. I'm nearly on my second stock body and I have only bent CVA's (an anvil and a hammer and they're straight once more). This thing is the "bashest" (if I can make up a word) AE Rig i've ever owned.

I'm wondering how a aluminum center section chassis would work on our truck? Weight would be a little heavier, centered, possibly stiffer but it would still have some flex. It would be interesting to see how it would work...I'm thinking it would work pretty good 
. Ok machinist guys...I hope you see this post!

If you talk about it... I'm going to be forced to not pay my Cellphone bill and buy one...

Lol! I made that post about the chassis back in early September...I'm sure exotek was testing prototypes back then, but I had no idea. It sure is pretty!

I think I am getting Bohdi now. He wants to see a kit that can win without mods like the RC8.2 can. Until the FT edition is released we will not have that so mods are required. I have not been around the hobby too long but what I have seen from AE is that they release a kit and then after they have worked through the fine tuning with the extended team drivers they release a FT version with most of the changes. Heck, the RC8.2 kit was a tweek of the already decent RC8B Factory Team kit.
I have faith in the AE team and love my SC10 4x4 already with mods for now.

Need some help guys, my shocks leak out of the bleed hole (Not the hole with the screw in it) It is only my 2 front shocks. It is so bad that after one run there is a ton of dirt on the shock cap since the oil is leaking out. Is it the bladders that is the promblem? Should I buy different bladders?
