You don't need to be a member to get a discount on tower. The cheapest I could do, with tower, was 359$ shipped. With a code.

Amain, has the truck in stock, $25 off code, plus shipping, put me at $389.

$30 more than tower, but I'll have the truck in week.

Who knows how long to get it off back-order from tower. Everybody on the Tower list just got moved up 1 spot......

Thanks Danny. Loving the build. Everything is super clean.

Does everyone use the supplied grease on the diff o-rings or is there something even better?

Green slime on the o-ring if you have it. But use the black grease for the outdrive/diff case area in any case.

I need a bit of help with my ride height. I just finished building my kit this evening and I followed the kit set-up exactly. I have the rear shock collars all the way at the top of the shock body and I'm still at 26mm of ride height. The kit set-up calls for 25mm of ride height. What am I missing?

Sounds like your shocks may have to much oil??? Try bleeding them a little so they don't pack to early. This takes a few tries to get the right feel.

used green slime to do that as well, works good.

Gonna run mine again this Saturday and do a little tuning. Best driving 4x4 I've owned to date.
Cool thanks for the info, will probably get the losi.

Had first issue, needed to cut a screw as what was supplied was too long. Not a big deal but considering how well everything has gone together lol.

I also noticed the manual doesn't say anything about putting in the side screws for the servo mounting. It mentions the standard ones that go through the holes on the case, just not the sides. again, not that big of a deal.

Just finished my build. Man what a truck. I really like my other trucks, but this one is impressive at least on par with my X-Ray ebuggy. Really looking forward to the first race of the season on Sat (if the weather holds)

Trying stock set up, but I have been reading that the back end can be slightly loose. One way to help is to remove the rear and center braces. Did I read this correctly?

Of the rear is loose you can:
Remove the center and rear brace
Lower the inner rear camber link to the bottom hole
Move the rear hubs forward
