Thank you, does it fit tight or does it have some room? Lucky for me here I have 4 places to run all within a hour drive, problem is no one races the 1/10th trucks!

I race my 1/8th buggy, but I mostly practice with my truck!

Gets a little smokey from the nitro, have you ever made the drive to CRCRC in Columbus Ohio? Also how is the new slipper working, noticed you updated it!

How are people liking the VTS slippers? I had one on mine last year, but took it off. It seemed too inconsistent. It would not "bite" the same from corner to corner, lap to lap. I did not know if a .12 motor was not enough torque to keep the temps up on it to be consistent (compared to a BL motor).

Yeah Dirtburners a little small for 1/8 scale. I haven't been Columbus in a few years. I'm waiting on a few more parts before I run it so not sure on slipper yet

You need b5 hub and stub axle with the posi lock cva axle. don't use t4/sc10 cva style axle its to long and yes you can use the inserts in the hub and either a m3 screw and lock nut since b5 is metric or b5/sc10 4x4 ball stud

I miss Columbus, haven't been there since 1999. When Adam Drake was beginning his career.

Keep us informed on the slipper.

Short ball studs are 1mm shorter. I must say, it is quite a bit heavier duty!
