i use between 25-32.5wt with the 5 hole pistons outdoor and it seems to work for me, i did however buy the 8 hole pistons when i got the kit and use them in my gas buggy but never found the need for them on the E.
i guess it's just a matter of having the right wt shock oil.

considering 1/8 scale buggy for the summer. I am partial to Kyosho as I have a Lazer zx5. Unfortunately, the 1/8 from Kyosho seem pricey.
I am curious what cost with this kit I would be looking at, total. I usually buy spares up front.
is it reasonable
esc/motor : 350ish
servo :??
kit : 600ish
battery 4s : 100ish
Spares : really looking for an idea of what others are spending on stocking spares for this kit.

Hopefully someone who did the squeezing will chime in and advise on this.

I pinched mine initially when I first built the kit and they felt loose but after racing two weeks they actually got worse with the dirt. After that I went home and this time really used pliers to bend them around (almost to much it seemed) but it's PERFECT now! I also used a tumbler on the balls to help polish and loosen things up but if you use enough pressure with pliers, you'll be fine..

What body are most of you running?
I like the OEM body but hate the way it comes pre-cut....anyone have luck with any others but still fit the E 3.0 chassis?
I want to have a couple extra painted but want to make sure they will fit properly first!

What's wrong with the pre-cut bodies? Seem to fit very well. One tip is to chop the nose of it off that goes through the front shock tower. If you don't when the chassis flexes on a bad landing it will rip the front off at the body mount hole. With my current body I chopped of the nose and double layered drywall tape and shoe goo on the body mount holes. Seems to be holding up well.
Side note: I do hate the way Losi nitro bodies comes pre-cut. Plenty of people converting the truggy to electric that would prefer the body not to be pre-cut.

So I got to run my buggy for the first time this weekend at the Roar nats warm up race and it was stellar with drakes setup with a few tweeks. I decided to make the switch from my HB D812 which I really loved...

To add on that, I don't think they leave enough material on the nose which also makes the body weaker and more prone to flexing or stretching and breaking off. I also prefer to cut it myself plus I like having extra material when painting to test.
