I asked this question to a guy i race with w/ some solid feedback. But i want to see what you guys do to do 2 things on your A800s...

1. how do you remove your axles from your hubs succesfully w/o breaking shit? i'm wanting to clean my bearings

2. how do you remove the plastic pieces (dont remember the part number) on the AT21 w/o breaking them? I want to replace them w/ the AT21s to see how that runs

changing over to AT21S will lower your roll center

Use a flat object to press the axles out. I would also just buy new P03s, it is difficult to remove them without breaking them, and then they will be sloppier for the new balls.

Those pieces and also the plastic C clips that hold the arms on the cups are pieces that you should probably have an inventory of. They are cheap enough and by running the car now for a few months, I've seen that I've already used quite a few of those. (Yes, I hit the boards quite a bit)

Alright, I pulled the trigger and ordered the xah evo. Is this thread the best place for information on the car? Setups on petitrc, anywhere else? With no local support I will be relying on you guys to help me out.

I've got a local track with carpet that I'm thinking about starting to race again at. Which chassis you y'all recommend? the hard or the soft alloy spec car?
