That's not bad. I've seen ones with everything you've got plus aluminum arms, and spindles. The thing I don't like about the bell cranks you have, is they're too rigid. You hit a wall and the energy from the impact has to go somewhere. So it's either going to bend and you'll not know why it's handling is screwd now, or it'll break something else, possibly a chassis.
Not sure on carpet. Never run it. Are you running foams or rubber tires.

Hey sorry guys i havent been able to post lately. On the Black belt would you really see a difference? I just want a bigger advantage.
Oh yah, On the speedtech shock towers. Those are lighter and have more wholes for the camber link than on the original XXX-S shock towers. Whould those help?

The black belt kit is probably the single biggest improvement you can make to the car itself. The Speedtech towers are OK. The rear one seemed to flex a lot. I broke two of them. And personally, I'm not into the whole SSG thing. I'm getting some of the prototype MegaTune 2 XXXS towers from PRP to test. I had some of the old style ones and liked them better. They're beefier (sp?) than the Speedtech ones. Normally I'd just run the stock towers but the MT2 towers have an additional row of shock mounting holes that are higher. I'll be using them to test the Tamiya shocks on the car since the Tamiyas are longer than the Losi fronts.

If you have a desire to make your car blingy, I think the Tamiya shocks are the best bang for your buck you can get. Not only do they make the car look exotic and add a lot of red, but they are a huge improvement as far as perfomance goes.
The aluminum roll center blocks are also worthwhile as they are different heights then the stock blocks. They look nice and offer different tuning options.
Question: Does anyone know anywhere that has the white ball cups in stock (LOSA6015)?
