Hey guys another quick question.
Does the Race roller come with the V2 towers? Also what is the Big difference between roller and the RTR? I know the Roller you build yourself but what I’m getting at is parts wise? Also does the RTR have the pins to remove the radio tray like the Roller? Does the fuel tank remove on the rtr like the roller? just trying to see what are the main differences thanks GUYS!!!

No the V2 is a hop-up not standard tank and radio tray all the same biggest upgrade from RTR to Roller are the chassis and shock towers.

The roller doesn't come with the new tower, but it may sometime in the future. The roller comes pre-built, but it's best just to go over once and make sure everything is right.

The main difference between the roller and the RTR is the chassis, shock-towers, bottom/top shock caps and some other parts. Everything on the RTR is mounted the exact same way as the roller.

What pins on the radio tray are you talking about?

I'm in the process of setting up a spare motor for my cars. I'm running the losi quick change mounts both.

One of them is an 8B version one and the other is a 2.0 truggy.

Will the 2.0 flywheel be ok to use on the 1.0?

If this is possible then it is just a matter of throwing a clutch bell on the motor and dropping it in the car

The pins im talking about are to remove the radio tray. I think there are like 2 cottor pins on each end and when those are out the whole raido tray comes out? Is the 1.0 set up like that?

the tank and the tray have screws that hold them on. there r 4 screws from the bottom that hold the tray and the tank has 2 screw that go to the tank mounts. no pins. all 8 seris cars were this way both buggy and truggy.

You are talking about the body clips that hold down the battery box top. 1.0 and 2.0 trays are the same here. I hVe had the tray break here so I use little screws to hold the battery box top down.

Hey guys quick question. What does the set screws that put pressure on the sway bar do. Do they effect the performance? I noticed my front one is really tight and the back has all kind of play as they are backed out. Thanks....

how much back and forth play do you have on your sway bars? just a tick of play.

on a rough blown out track should, the sway bars be fully loose but not enough where the set screws fall out?

idk what to do as far as setup thats just what i do at all tracks. you want free movement, no restriction. putting pressure on the bar will cause a different handling characteristics,

The sway bar set screws are there to adjust the amount of play when changing to different size bars. The sway bars should ALWAYS MOVE FREELY with just a bit of slop.

Before you connect the sway bar links, tighten the set screws until you feel friction on the bar while moving up and down through the travel. Back the set screw off so there is just the slightest amount of friction. This adjustment makes the sway bar react to the slightest amount of chassis roll.

So, would it be safe to say that tightening the set screws to apply more pressure would be like going to a stiffer bar? To a point..
