Looks good Mo. I'm really trying to get all my stuff going again, missing the fumes. Blue Barcodes for the Factory?

My 8ight 2.0 felt kind of sloppy compared to the 811. The 811 feels a lot tighter and more responsive to me. It's very touring car like, which I prefer. The 8ight 2.0 was kinda slow to respond and sloppy, almost like a shortcourse truck.

My losi 2.0 was more twitchy and less forgiving. The serpent is very precise and accelerates like a bullet. Handled the rough better then my mbx6 as well which I was suprised. Also the car is as tight now as it was new.

yeah the blue barcodes have been the best all around tire.... pink megabytes work good when the track dries out. but barcodes will get you through the whole day no matter what the track does

Anyone knows of a setup sheet that could be saved and be able to change setting without the need to write everything from start?

Quick question about your paint theme on your lid, what is it?

I was looking at it closely and couldn't figure it out.

It looks awesome, like it.

I was tinking about that idea too that it might be a flag of a particular Asian country. But I'm not 100% sure myself too.

Hey all, just wondering if any of you are having this problem...

A couple of us are having the flanges break off from the rear outer wheel bearings. Between us we have broken a few sets of both original and aftermarket bearings. My thinking is that perhaps if you accidentally slap a pipe or pit lane wall (c'mon we all do it) the load subjected to the bearing at the flange causes it to break off. Since there is no shoulder inside the upright all this force is applied only to the flange itself.

So far it has only happened in the rear and is not really noticeable until you remove the hub and driveshaft for maintenance. Then it basically just falls apart. I was thinking if the uprights had a shoulder inside for the outer bearing race to take some of the load as you would have with a non-flanged bearing then these breakages wouldn't occur.

Any ideas? Cheers.

I lost a few outer wheel bearings too. I just have to keep a stock of Avids on hand now. :\

If i got it right...he means that the flange is coming off the outter rail of the bearing.
I haven't experienced this but had lots of those bearings fail...some got so hot that warped the wheel at the hex and wouldn't come off.
