I dont have a problem with the 'J-DUB Hub'. it was on this forum and with the help of other users that i found J-DUB to do the mod in the states so you didnt have to pay me to ship them from the other side of the planet.
I'm just pissed that another company has now taken my idea and put it production without even knowing where the idea came from.
I contacted KH over 12 months ago with the 16mm hub idea and they said there was no market for it.
now they are selling it with no thanks to me. not even an offer of a free set.
that ruffled my feathers. im sure it would ruffle yours too
J-DUB does a great job and does it for next to nothing. KH charge you $70 for a product that costs them less than $10 to make. im sure if there $60 profit they could have found room to thank the guy that came up with the idea
anyway i dont mean to b!tch about it. it has just pissed me off that there are now 2 companies making a massive profit off it while J-DUB and I try to do the right thing and make it an affordable hopup for the average racer.
If it was your idea making someone else rich you would understand

what does an RC10T hub have to do with modding the losi hub?

i think he missed the point of what i was saying.
when i asked KH to make me the part last year so that others could have them they weren't interested.
now they are making it with no thanks, and charging through the a$$ for them

I had a engineer friend of mine bore out a few hubs for the larger bearings. No charge. Takes him all of five minutes to do a few sets. Just have to have the correct tools and a little jig he made. They work great.

Saying you werent the first to do it with the Losi Hub Either We have been modding the Losi Hub in the Truggy right after the first set of bearings went out after the first run. That was long before anything was ever posted.

well im still having the same problem that i had with the 8T1.
I just finished my 4 day state titles on a super blown out track. It track had holes in it that buggy's were getting stuck in.
I used to blow rear outer wheel bearings like crazy in my 8T1 and today in the semi final while running quite well i had one go in my 8T2.0 putting me out of contention
so it looks like im going to have to go and get my rear hubs boared out to fit a 16x8x5 bearing like i did with the 8T1.
when will Losi realize that the whole world doesn't race on flat tracks and that a 14x8x4 bearing cant withstand the up to the presure of a super blown out track with the rotating mass of a truggy wheel on the end, and the added weight and extended leverage of a truggy.
Im so pissed off i didnt get the rear hubs boared out before this event because i new it was a problem with the 8T1. i just figured that there was a reason that they went to standard offset and this might of been it
obviously it wasn't
