What about a serpent droop screw? They are m4 2.5mm hex on the button head and 2mm hex on the shaft. The button head goes down to the chassis.

I dont know if a rounded screw would work on the Losi because it would take some droop adjustment away as the Losi doesnt have a lot now and you seem to have to run full droop on them...unless you recessed the round head into the arm.

Nah, they adjust from the top and the rounded portion makes contact with the chassis . . .

What spur gear are you guys running on the losi? My 48t spur is out past the bottom of the chassis.

I guess so! They are not that special IMO. Dang!! Nice marketing strategy though--make you feel like you are part of some elite club b/c you have to pay way too much for stuff with their name on it. I thought Hudy stuff was pricey . . .

Nope nothing special at all other than they are serpent. The latest release of the car I built last week even had them in the hudy brown spring steel.

Yup. This is normal as it is a custom made chassis constructed from the best materials. The wait is worth it--trust me!

Guys it is totally worth the wait and is all I can say. I waited 3-months for my first. This is one guy with a small company. You will be getting the best quality chassis anyone could produce!

You might have already done but send a email off his website asking for a update. People know its a great chassis it makes racers even more impatient one point I do want to ,mention is his pricing its very reasonable if he added more overhead that means higher prices I would rather wait. Bill is a stand up guy he will respond send another request if needed.
