Quick little race report. TLR sweeps the podium at the JBRL round #1 at OC/RC yesterday. Dunford takes TQ and I was second qualifier with our SCTE 2.0's. During the main we were never to be challenged for the lead as we pulled away. Ryan and I were to swap the lead a couple times for a great race and David Jenson running his SCTE 1.0 one last time (we "team" built his SCTE 2.0 during the race day as he just received his kit the day before) was able to pull in the last podium spot for the TLR SCTE clean sweep of top three spots in the Expert 4WD SC class. And yes there was an army of the "other" truck at this event!

ahh I want my parts so bad!! @ryan, do you have any idea why the date has been pushed back so far?? Taking into consideration they were "on the same boat" I didn't think finding a home in the warehouse would take a month longer! lol If I had of known I would have bought the kit from the get go! Any info would be great! thanks!
Casper mentioned the parts "should be on the same boat" but said hopefully Ryan would chime in with more info so you cant be upset at them becuz of the comment when you keep checking the website and it shows a date i would use that date more than someone saying something and then if it becomes available earlier its a good thing but to expect it early like the truck is just setting yourself up for heartbreak
Plus keep in mind that the parts will go to HH, ship to places from there and the kits went right straight to HCP stores. But hopefully they can help you out alittle more on the time frame
ON ANOTHER NOTE...
are the KH mounts still going to be a good upgrade or just roll with stock but i kno the diff mount did stiffen up things in the driveline

Thanks for confirming the KH motor mount fits! Did you check/need to shim the rear differential with the aluminum inserts? You pretty much have the same setup I have once I get the upgrade parts.......wink wink nudge nudge at Ryan . I'm going to stick with the RX8 and would rather spend the dollars on the upcoming pro4 HD motor; even though it sounds like the current pro4 is working out well.

I am sure there will be a video or two that will pop up in a day or two.
Yeah they did not post on LiveRC this time. Not sure why. Full JBRL results should be up in a day or two at www.jimmybabcock.com

With all due respect to Ryan/Casper and the rest of the folks at Losi, I *really* hope that's not when my parts ship but rather reflects a business decision for the stores to move the kits first (It certainly aligns with their filling the kits orders first....). Otherwise promoting the parts are on same boat is a really big tease.

Should always buy new becuz it never hurts to refreshen everything...and yes, its more that way but you could have parted yours out and kept the electrics to make up the difference...i sold my roller for more than a new roller thanks to just a few upgrades.

There is no reason why it shouldnt fit, Just not sure with the new diff cases why its necessary.

I was not in the shop on friday, I will check on monday and see whats going on with the parts. It shouldnt be that long. I know they are working on getting them checked in asap.
see above...and you can pm me directly.
Some people jsut like to spend money on their toys . If I thought that was necessary myself, I would make one but dont need the extra weight for no performance gain.

Yea the new diff cup i have on my center diff did take a good amount of wobble out . I would get it just because it makes the truck quiter and reduce the wear more.

Hey guys, I recently ordered this kit from my Lhs. Should have it in two weeks or so. I've had the 1.0 sence it came out; been running the castle 3800kv 4 pole and rx-8. That match has worked out fairly well for my use, which is mostly tearing up the woods, and occassionally racing. I woulden't mind having a little more power and control in the motor department. Thinking about the Tekin 4 pole or maby the revtech 4 pole. Which one is better for this car? Or is another motor out that is better?
