Lost 1 of the pieces that mount the sway bar onto the diff housing. For some reason they are not included in the TLR244041 part# shown in the manual. Does anyone know the part number for the pieces ive circled in red below??

And no TLR244041 does not include those pieces.

Thanks!

Seems all compartments on the X are tight fits. Can barely fit Rx along with On/off switch wires in the compartment, same issues with battery as well.

Kind of missing ease of access and size of battery/Rx compartments of my Kyoshos. 😬

I was surprised as well, looked pretty good size in the pics.

May I add the option of some small milliamp packs? My dudes u can look up 1000-1200mah packs that could make your practice fun less thought out with a few more packs to replace for cheap. I’ve tried plenty of packs up to 1200 packs work good that would be fine for this car. And they make full hours with my 7955/7950 set up 1000-1200 for atleast a year and some on eBay have heavy wiring. I may be out of what’s in right now but u don’t need 2000mah (that cost 30$ when these cost $7) packs to run practice for an hour or hour n a half safety on a cheap pack. And fresh packs are fine for a big race weekend.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Floureon-2S...gAAOSwrTVbSO3w

here is probably an over priced 1200 pack on eBay but the size is so tiny it has to work, I’m literally talking an inch wide and maybe 2-1/2 length at the very max (I have these batteries!). Really easy to find. I bought mine in a 2 pack for 18$ but they change. I’m cool with either price.

just make sure it’s 7.4 volts. Any 3.7 is 1 cell and doesn’t have the horsepower to push these servos!

theres some info in electric thread on xe version.
Some postings on some Tlr groups, it’s a new car/platform that a lot of people don’t have. Give it some time it will pick up. People will be posting what they like and what they hate and what problems they run into. Some people are hesitant on buying some new platforms cause they don’t know how car is or the car hasn’t really been tested for a long time to see how it wears and what breaks on it etc. what stuff was made good and what stuff was made bad.
But yea I would like to hear more about the car to, Ive seen fair share of complaints so far. People snapping the aluminum spindles, the x tower not having enough holes then xe got updated tower. Then the rear shaft on the xe is short and close to be able to pop out and people on Tlr saying it’s not a issue, maybe with a fresh chassis it may not be but when people wear that chassis down and aren’t replacing it, will see what more flexible worn down chassis if it will bring the dogbone popping out. I think I read people breaking cvas on the car and they got updated? I believe I read that on a Losi Facebook page.
Seems like the car is easy to work on, looks like the upgraded parts are coming out.
Keep in mind that a lot of places it’s winter and not nitro season in most places. So your limited to mainly the people that are in good climate or indoor track racers to post up on there experiences with the car. Or the international racers in there summer
I’m looking forward to hearing some people’s opinions to on the car mainly more from your average racer that isn’t on Tlr. Someone that uses other brands also, it would be nice to hear more of there thoughts on this platform after they have driven it for a while. But that may take some time to hear.
