Has anyone tried the +2mm hexes?

How did it change the truck? Did the truck lose turn in or?

I think driving style has a lot to do with it. I find the smart diff nice here in So Cal at Thunder Alley. Gave a slight push on power but off power it is nice and jumping into it mid corner was no issue. Big track for those familiar with it can vouch no tight turns.

Whats the cons of running the mud guards. Just wondering since Losi has not made any.

Man I dont see any. Losi does make mud guards for the 1.0 stuff. They just havent released them for the 2.0 Truggy. The 1.0 guards still fit on the buggy. I just received my DE 2.0T mud guards and they fit perfect. I was using Mugen Mbx6 guards for my truggy they worked ok but sometimes they would get caught under the camber link. The DE guards will not. Personally I dont see any issues with keeping the drivetrain free of extra dirt and mud.

I also installed my mud guard this past weekend and all I can say is thank you much better then my Frankenstein guards

Pro

Protect CV my biggest concern bent a few from rock
Helps with cleaning
They look cool
Prvents a huge amount of mud build up if it rains on the arms


Cons
More Money but these are super cheap would pay 20 bucks a pop.

I run the +2 hexes and to tell you the truth I didnt notice much difference. I just put them on and never took them off.
