I assume the CGM would be OK because its just a different chassis on the CGM, right?

i keep on sanpping the pins that attach the axel to the dogbone when i am runing a spool. i must of gone through about 15 of the pins. it always seems to be the front right wheel everytime, i hav tried replacing the axles and theactual dogone but cant stop it.
i only race 27t indoors and yes i do crash and it does break then sometimesm but others it just randomly breaks?
i hav just been trying it on the road outside my house where it has randomly snapped today, but today it didny and i was going for about 20minutes so i am confused with what could be causing it?
is it that the bin grub screw holding the pin in place comes undone slightly so the pin moves along and so the pin is snapped becuase there is more force over the little area? is there anything i can do to stop this if it is?
or is there something that i have missed?
many thanks

Not having any spare axle pins, i made two out of some LOSI body clips, roughend up the surface where the grub screw sits and didnt have a problem the rest of the day.
Other than that, car is awesome with the stock settings except AE 35oil and Matt H's droop setting(thanks). I will probably go harder on the springs and that is it.
I probably wont run the losi axle pins for long lol, does anyone know of better CVDs or Universals?

Are these the same as the $39.99 hardened ones on SPEEDTECH?

you'd have to ask Steve, he would know, but I know he did carry them.

Hey pops,
You mentioned setting my droop to 6mm in front & 5mm in the rear. How are you measuring this? Since there's a few different ways to get there, which method do you have? With the wheels taken off, I measure the end of my arms( how far they drop down in relation to the chassis) and make sure it hits the mm's I want on the droop gauge. I'm using the AE one where it has a flat side that reaches over underneath the chassis. But when I put the wheels back on, I hold the wheels down and lift up the chassis and only get a difference of 2.5-3mm of uptravel. This is from starting at a ride height of 5mm and ending my uptravel at 7.5-8mm. I thought 6mm of front droop is 6mm of uptravel added to the starting ride height. Am I incorrect on this? - JB

Shimming?
I got my assortment of shims today. I've been tearing down the tranny and realized that I can't visually shim it. How are you guys shimming the gears when you can't see the mesh?

Question: If my ride height is 4mm and when I lift my car up I get 8mm on the ride height gauge, my droop/uptravel/wheel sag,etc. is 4mm corrrect? I understand alot of things about the car but this particular measurement, I DON'T. All I want is A consistent way to get the droop I want.
Not everyone chime in at once
Thanx fellas -JB
