Hey guys, just ran into a small problem. These shocks are much bigger then what I'm used to and I don't have the right tool. I'm assuming I need an open end box wrench to hold the shock body in place while screwing the other components in? What size?
My Losi SCTE kit came with a real nice shock bottom wrench for holding the shock in place while wrenching and not scratching the schlock.

Anyone know of one for these 811 stocks?

I don't think many have used that plate, I would say if you had it probably a 4 down insert which should be 3 degrees. Not sure on that, maybe 3.5. It also depends on which rear bracket you have, the stock will be less anti squat and the Low Roll will be more AS.

hi, im a new cobra pilot looking for more off power steering from the front of the car.
it finishes the corner great .
but doesn't turn in as hard as i would like.
im racing on wet to drying high bite indoor clay/soil mix.
i have tried all the tires the leading racers use .
with the same results.
if i have to get steering from the rear of the car .
i will .(but would prefer not to ).
thanks for any help/advice.

im running porkchops setup from page 89.
8 hole conical pistons.
i went to 40wt front , 30wt rear.
blue and yellow springs .
have not tried the 2.8 bar yet .
i took a little bit of droop out of the front
to help change rotation in the twistys
also , has anyone tried running this car light?
i have found some 3800mah / 50c lipo's
that weigh 208 grams.
compared to my 5600mah packs.
that weigh 313 grams

I started off yesterday morning real bad. Turns out one my bottom shock pieces was a factory defect is why it would not go on. I had to force it with vice grips and thin crescent wrench only for it to crack in half. Like it had bad threads inside. The other 3 went on hand tight just fine. Not a good start to my day. Hopefully it will hold up for practice tomorrow, had to express mail more to me.
The good news is after taking a day off work the car is almost finished and I'll be on the track later today
Man this car is tough to set the gear mesh, but I think I got it figured out.
Chops how many pages back did you post a setup?
I set mine up for Frank L Nitro Challenge setup, hopefully it works for me. I'll post some pics in a day or two.
Can't wait to get this bad boy on the track
