Did not get to try new changes this weekend due to weather. Saturday we headed for Kentucky and got a call that they were rained out. We then headed out Sunday morning only to get a call that they were rained out as well. Did about 300 miles this weekend and didn't even get to take the car out of the trailer. lol You gotta love summer time in the SOUTH. lol

There is always next weekend.

Sorry I missed your call Bill. Boss had me out mowing. lol I'll call ya later today.

Talked to Bill last night. Like xxxtcr said Bill is going to be busy. Also, the Truggy is just about finalized as well and should be shipping soon.

Hi All Here is the updated version with the droop screw
top pic is Nat alum, bott pic is the M-16 Grey
we decided to go with the flush screw vs the button style
the droop area is very tight under the arm.
Just a note to the first pre orders, all of yours will have
all of the newest mods, thanks for hanging in there

Hey xxxtcr....

Any chance ya'll are planning a chassis for the E-Converted guys?

Would sure be trick to have a dedicated chassis that is only for the E-Cars.... No holes for the flywheel and proper clearance for the spur gear, etc...

I'd be glad to donate a chassis and conversion kit so you guys could figure out a way to do it...

Hey guys
what we have is a 1.oz change with the Buggy
and 2.0 oz in the truggy we have even had to ad a small
amt to both for balance. the main feature is the
Chassis articulation is why we are getting added steering
and alot of forgiveness on the bumps.

I just wanted to thank Bill from BCE for giving me a call and explaining about the new chassis. I am really excited to get mine and see how I can improve my lap times. Please guys have patience, Bill wants us to get the best product. Myself, like many of you were getting a little frustrated about getting our chassis or feedback. After talking with Bill, I understand the slight delays, he just wants us to get the best product we can.

Thanks

Well I don't know if this is true or not but this thread is talking about a chassis that was in design stages and the orders are PRE ORDERS not stock orders, I've just ordered a chassis for my 808 and the response time to my first email was great and the product was in stock so I guess your statements not always true

well this is also good for the consumer as if they had a bunch of unsold chassis lying around then their prices would have to increase to recover the costs, so lets be realistic here BCE are not a major international company with 100s of employes they are a couple of genuine guys producing a top quality product at a resonable price as best as they can for the consumer

as for shipping I guess I find out what it's like very soon but I have confidence that there won't be a problem

just my 2c

Hey guys Thanks a bunch for the nice post
as most of you know we have been around
over 6 years Its always been a small custom
shop , I have been pitched many times By
friends , and even china company's looking
to do "Big Business" I must say I am not
interested . I handle each and everyone
of the chassis that leave, Kinda like seeing
a little solider leave off to battle, and that is
what keeps the fun into it. I do get a little behind
just because of certain circumstances,
but I will always try to keep everyone posted
on there progress or the ship status.
I have been working hard getting a lot of
new stuff out and I must say we have put
alot into the Losi program , with such a good
product from the start it has been a challenge
to get the extra performance that we have achieved.
Oh I would like to thank all of the great customers
from around the world for all of your support
and very nice words, The fact that one or two
guys want to rain on the parade well that stuff
will Happen...
Thank you
