Well i am happy to say I will be back to running Agama again!!! I ran the original A8 a few years ago and honestly the car was pretty good but can't wait to see how much better the A215 is ,The quality of the old car was excellent and the new ones seem to follow suit, this car is really raising some eyebrows here in the Midwest, plus there is some good drivers running the buggy now

I have driven both the nitro and ebuggy versions of the A215 and found them very stable with tons of steering

I apply green slime grease to the o-ring all the time. I couldn't find in this forum of anyone had this issue. Has anyone tried different o-ring? agama black or some other brand? I tried the HB o-ring and it's a little too fat so it's binding too much. thanks.
If you have the time, try soaking the o rings in diff oil overnight so they swell very slightly (also works on shocks ). Otherwise Losi ones fit fine and are stiffer

I got the double hole one. I believe the difference is that the double has 2 holes to mount the arm too. An upper and lower.

Only the 10 degree caster blocks have one set of holes, all the others have two...

And remember, especially if you are new to the brand, make sure you filter parts by A215 so that you only get parts that fit the A215.

Stock caster blocks are indeed 12 degrees, but there is an aluminum option part that is also 12 degrees.

Yes and depends on where you want the steering as well. 16 degree or around that area is quickly becoming all the rage on the newer buggies. Stock Losi is 15 degree. They seemed to all start with alot of caster and around 2008 they removed caster and now we see are seeing a sharp come back. Any car will handle the rough much better with more caster and steering can be gained by several other adjustments on any car.

The buggy makes so much rear traction I don't think it's necessary.

The shock pistons really changed my car and in a big way. 8-hole pistons and it was gobs of traction 6-hole and I had to be more precise and careful in driving the car.
