It is a very nice chassis though!!

So are they missing or simply no holes for the droop screws? I dunno, Bill must have a good reason for this. My experience has been you cannot remove the droop screws anyway b/c of wear--you cannot get a driver in the screw to remove it . . .

Understandable, but removing those droop screws things in the chassis are nothing a dremel and a standard screwdriver cant handle. The Agama I recently sold had huge gouges in the chassis from the droop screws thus causing the droop to be inconsistent... always had to check it, so I installed the RC8.2 droop screws in the arms with the nice round head and it fixed the problem. I cant wait to drop this on the track in a couple weeks!!

BTW there are no holes or anything in the BCE chassis

I am suspecting method behind the madness--'tis mo' better as the guy below just said!

I had the same question about the droop screws when I ran the Losi. Bill told me they were unnecessary due to the material of the chassis. He also suggested to hit the droop screws with a Dremel to knock down the sharp edges and give them a rounded profile. The result was a chassis that wore out with tiny gouges where the droop screws hit.

There is no need for the droop screws in the chassis if you take the sharp edges off the ends of the droop screws.

I am brand new to the RC8, and I'm not gonna run the stock chassis, so performance wise I really won't be able to compare. The main reason I wanted to take the chance here was simply durability.
As far as build, I did have a few minor fitment concerns, which I have already emailed Bill, but all in all I am content. I performed the "flex" test with both chassis, and to be honest, while it did seem as though the BCE might be more rigid, I really didn't feel any huge difference.

just looked at amain at the Rc8.2 droop screws wonder why all droop screws aren't like those looks as though they'll greatly improve chassis life anybody had any issues with those

I wonder if Associated has the patent on those? Anyway, I forgot all about those and will see if they fit the Losi . . .

O'donnell had those droop screws over a year ago, mugen has the same ones. if i remember right, agama does also.


anyways, got another win at a local race this past weekend with the X3 chassis. this chassis is the ticket.

Bill, you have an email, just when ever you get a chance. Thanks.

I saw that Mugen had them but did not appear to have a hex on both ends. Do you know? Thx!

OD (when they were making cars LOL) and mugen have hexes on both sides just like the AE. for some reason i want to say agama does too, but cant remember, its been a while sense i had one of those.

The rc8 droop screws will not fit the losi 2.0.... I have them in my hand

How about the Mugen?

I can find out later today, the rc8 screw is smaller than the losi in diameter
