lol rut'in it up at hobby hut

i know this is off topic but the slash just soaks the ruts up it at the hut i was the orange and green body truck last weekend there pretty fast too

the slash is also Not 7-8.5Lbs and Do Not go 45-50mph.

Are you actually saying hat a slash can handle the ruts better than the losi?? Not in my opinion I have a slash and they truley are a fun little no thrills toy. My 8t and 8 will blow the slash out of the water on fun factor and rough track handeling. So if you are saying what I think you are saying I want some of what you are smoking on... JK

no im not saying the slash handles better on ruts than a losi eight but its not bad though

Ok thanks for clarifying. :D

tonkas are better in the bumps LOL

100% :nod: :nod: :nod: And that's becausE they built the bumps. But he was slash talkin...

Has anyone had a problem with the droop screw in the back stripping out? Is there a fix for the hole or am I going to have to replace the arm? Mine stripped yesterday during the main causing the shock end to pop off and me losing the series championship yesterday. :flaming:

Another question. Is there a alternative out there for the plastic shock ends? I have replaced all of them from the factory but have had 3 pop off. I have my droop right. Getting tired of losing ends. :flaming:

Hey Frank. That GRP I bought from you is awesome. There is no one at my track that can even come close to me . I pull the second fastest motor by 3 truck lengths everytime. WOW. I am thinking of getting a O.S. motor. Does Powerhouse mod them too. If they do I will definately get them to do it. Their the Bomb.

Did you clean out the threads of all the melted plastic when you replaced them the first time ?

for the droop screw's ive never had one strip and there really isn't a fix....just replace the arm.

Yeah I cleaned the thread on the shaft before I installed the new ends.

I figured the only fix for the droop screw was replace the arm. It was worth a shot to see if any one had a fix for it.

Well had my first day at the track with my RTR. I will say one thing, this thing is tough! First time on an 1/8 scale track in a couple years and ARC has a few decent sized jumps. I did manage to break the battery box though! Just have to use screws to hold the lid on instead of body clips so no big deal. I bought it with the intent to converting to electric but i have to say now i am not in a big hurry, I had to much fun. Of course ask me again when the stock motor stops holding a tune! I may pick up another motor this week. Just need to find something really easy to tune.

novarossi holds a tune and easy to tune

Easiest engine I have tuned so far has been OS. They are never more than 2 hours off. When I ran GRP I was always tuning and tuning and tuning and then right when I got it right the race day was over and it would change again. I really like the ease of the os engines, right now I'm running speed engines.

how did u use screws insend of the body clips to hold down the battery box
did u cut the tabs off or something ,my broke also when i first went to a 1/8 offroad track i think it was because i had to much epa on my brake and it was flexing but its fine now just replaced the radio tray,i did see somebody stick a small o-ring around the post where the clips go smart idea
