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.




cool i might, have to cut them a bit since im running the 1.0 t shocks on my eight -t no big deal though.

Done a few upgrade on my losi
New braces front and rear, did the diff oils while it was apart, 7k, 7k,5k rear
also put new pipe in RE10, man it has made a massive difference, ripes the grass up when it takes off. WIll install the turbo head next to see the difference again, can't wait.

Kayl, nice job! On the grass, I'd try 10F 15C 5R oils mate, thats what i run in the Losi Truck ;) In the Truck you need heavy oils on a high traction track, such as grass.
Also, try the softer purple rear springs if you have them. I notice you still have the standard white ones on.

Stock springs(and the ones he has on there) are grey and are softer than purple. If you're looking for a softer spring, purple is not the answer. Purple is actually the stiffest spring losi sells.;)

nope, replaced the braces, hinge pins, arms, dog bone, bearings, hubs, carriers, and nothing, the right side is still popping out, the only thing I haven't tried is to shim the front diff so its pushed a little to the right side..
Anyone has or is shimming the front diff??

I have a couple thin's up front on both sides...Im still baffled as to why this issue is present...Over the year's its happened to a couple guys and the results never seem to be the exact same.....the guys also did what you have done in regards to throwing new parts at it Till there all Brand new and the issue is still there.

Im gonna see if i can get Drake to stop by here and give a read over your posts and see what his take on it is....I dont know if he's ever experienced this but i would be interested to hear his through's on why it could/might happen.

Toiffel 09-01-2010 09:49 AM

Thanks, I'll post some pics tonight, see if that helps.......I'm picking up new diff housing and case tonight.....

Dose the dog bone pop out while you're running it normally or after a big crash?

Running normally, I first noticed it was coming out while warming my truck up on the starter box, the front right tire was wabling very bad like it was off balance, and after further inspection I noticed that the bone was about to pop out....

Have you checked the arms to see if they are warped?
