Thanx for the pic. Nah I dealt with broken batteries last year. So they are all wrapped with foam this year. Now the issue seems to be the connectors. I use the black plugs like a receiver uses. The wires are breaking right at the back of the connector, which is outside of the boxes and not near any moving parts. I think off road is causing them to move up and down and just break the wires over time. I might have too much extra wiring, but I didn't want to make them short and stretch the wires.

If you look at the plugs there in Danny B's picture my wires break at the back of the plug. But my plugs sit up in the air higher than his. They don't rest on the mud guard.

use a, dean connector i never had the wire break off it and never had it disconneted ethier. just tape the wires down thats a good idea

i dont run a switch ethier

air8, JST's are the only connector ill trust for my RX Pack to RX....They are A lot snugger then a plain 3 pin style connector and can be had pretty cheap. I replace my wires normally once a year or 1/2 way through the season when they start to feel a little loosey goosey.

Question on bump steer. To adjust bump steer you change only the inner ball? You always leave the outer (by the hub) with the flange down?

Thanks...

affects steering.

Im not sure what does what(up and down) but it increases or decreases steering in middle to exit of your turn.

If i remember right down is less and up is more, Someone please confirm or correct me on that

I do have a quick question. inner hinge pins are 4 mm right? i just got a new hudy tool kit and it came with a arm reamer and its 4mm, is that the correct reamer i need to use to clean the inner holes?

Reamer

Andy sold me a 3mm reamer and it is too small, so 4mm sounds about right.

i dont know if you guys have talked about it, but i was having a real hard time keeping my shock boots in 1 piece. looking around, i found some guys have been using koyosho boots. i tried them, and im convinced.

good things. thicker. same size for front and rear.
bad things.. cost about 2 bucks more than the losi.

for me, they last longer, since they're thicker.. so i guess you could save they're cheaper in the long run. im all about maintenance. the less i have to do servicing my truck the better. anyways, let the pics do the talking.

no modification to the koyosho boots 1 bit. the rear shocks are a bit snug.. thats why i showed both a front and a rear. but they do fit without stretching and tearing. they're good fit for both front and rear.. a dead ringer to me, rather than the f/r thin losi boots.

and every other run.. thats crazy. im by far a pro, and can actually "feel" the difference, so im just happy my boots aren't torn jacking up my shock pins, and getting my oil all mucky.

anyways, just thought ide share the info.
