Like others have said I would use the 45T. Drops in with zero issues.

So does that mean that the E 3.0 has inclined spindles? If it does I dont remember them saying that???

2. Make sure you do not have too much droop. I now have 104 in front and 112 in rear.

No more issues with me.

Is this happening on a certain shock or random?
one specific shock... I wanted to see if anyone knew the size and pitch so I could clean it up with a die nut or thread file..

Last time it was asked the answer was,to much money just buy new. I don't know if that is the truth but since you have already converted it once it just might be time. I can tell you , you will love them

So I just started building my kit and not 1 bag in the kit coresponds with the book. Not to mention im already missing a screw. I sure hope this car drives better than the instructions. So much for quality control.

Questions?? Pinion Gears and Hop ups

So my 8ight E finally arrived but I didn't realize pinion gear not included. I see losi has the 14t and 15t mod 1 gears but should I be looking elsewhere? Just wondering if choice of pinion brand is important. Also any hop ups recommended out the box? I have a pair of 8ight T spindle carriers that I see some team driver run. I've change the steering top brace plate to aluminum and a aluminum servo horn. Thinking about the alum servo saver? Also wonderig if the de racing mud guards and skid plates are worth it? Team driver told me mud guards just a wind drag and the skid plates just alters ride height so I'm better off without them. Would greatly appreciate the feed back, thanks!!
