Stand the front shocks up by one hole. Maybe different tires in front. Lighter front shock oil. Try these individually and see how it works.

That question is like how long is a piece of string.

Slow down even more when approaching the corners. Didn't think that you would like my answer. I got plenty more silly ones.

Can you give us some more info in regards to the setup of your car. Thanks.

Or... How many different Losi xxx's have come out? Then they realized that the best version was the very first version.

just bump your camber links in the front in a hole and/or more washers under the ballstud on the tower.

True but that was over the course of about 10 years...the RB5 has been out for about 3 or so.

Had a question about the Diff. gear Part #7664. I have built two T4 factory team kits one last year and one the year before. The gear diff 52T in the kits looks like it is Kevlar but the LHS have diff. gears the same part # but they look plastic. Did AE change the material at some point is their newer and older ones maybe. Any help would be appreciated Thanks

It looks like the Factory Team kit's came with Kevlar ones (above diff. gear for T4). The ones in the LHS look like they are plastic.???

it is molded out of a new material...same as the sc10 gear diff and idler gears. the old ones are black and the new is a cream tan kinda color. no performance difference.

I guess the Kevlar ones are the new ones then. They look like they are a lot tuffer then the black ones.
