Use red loctight, make sure set screw is on the flat side, use heat shrink around the pin to keep it in, all else fails buy the tekno kits

You can copy anyone's setup and they may say it works but that doesn't mean it's going to work for you. You need to start with a basic setup which may be several to get the car close to what you want. Then learn basic setup procedure such as camber links, shock angles and so forth. One of the better setup guides can be found on the JQ website.

Has any one tried the Team Losi Racing 16mm Split Shock Piston (2)
[TLR243012]?
Are they best front or rear? What oil and spring is best to run with them?
Cheers
Rusty.

My standard setup. I run it everywhere with only minor changes (Ie. Orange rear springs, Camber, Shock Oil, etc). I also have been testing the TLR Split Pistons, (4 holes are 1.2 and 4 are 1.3). I have found the TLR 1.3 8 Holes to be the best piston so far.
Something I tested last weekend was running the TLR 1.3 8 Hole up front with the Splits in the rear with 40/30. They gave the rear that added bit of pack to keep it from squatting soo much under acceleration. I'll be out this weekend testing more. If you are looking for a good shock setup, Pick up a set of the 8 hole 1.3's.

Finished the build on my sons new d812 roller today. Kit went together great. We used the center dogbones so it took a bit of time to clearance the steering rack but all seems good now. Are the cvd rubber covers holding up ok? I love the idea if they hold together there should be much less wear on the drives. The manual doesn't describe which kingpin goes on top and on bottom but we found a video that said use the chrome one on the top so we did it that way.
Coming from a d8 then a Hara I was surprised at just how different this car is. When people post the questions about what it takes to upgrade a hara the answer is definitely don't bother. The car seems to be very bulletproof with the front a arm mount keying to the chassis as well as having the threaded kingpins to tie it all together. Big improvement from earlier models.
We are now trying to choose an engine and servos for the car or may just pull the tray and engine from his hara. Sure would be nice to drop new pieces in it so it all starts fresh. Can't wait to get it out to the track for some laps to see how it works.
Wanted to send a shout out to all and especially Nick for the helpful build hints and info. It was very helpful.
