Into plastic, sure, into alloy, not so much, unless the thread is the same (unlikely) it wont go in.

Wow real mature biginjapan. Once again simple solution don't run as you call it full retard SAE hardware or losi products. People like you kill me with your mindless post trying to make a stupid point.

Strange that the losi 8ight 3.0 Kit still costs $599 (£385 GBP) in the US and it only costs £232 ($360 USD) without the UK VAT included in the uk

It most be about the only thing in the world that costs less in the UK then it does in the US..

Also, if I were to buy a 3.0 right now it wouldn't be on a track until April which means my brand new 3.0 would be out dated before it turns a lap. So I don't think anybody was beggin, they just started to use this thread as a bit of a sounding board.
I guess you northerners don't get the reference. The thread was started, asking about when it would come out. Then it became a bitch fest of SAE vs metric. You bring into the equation of crap, how much the exchange rates are and the snow fall in Canada....

And California is in a drought and dealing with wild fires. Maybe that is playing a factor as to why we have not herd or seen any news on a new buggy...

you got 3 options.
1. Sell your stuff and wait till the new one comes out.
2. Keep whatcha ( that is slang for " What You" by the way) got and wait it out.
3. Go to another company. AE just released a new buggy so I doubt another will come out for a couple years..

This is why I started this thread. I didn't want to buy a brand new 3.0 now, and in say March, a new car comes out. It's also not a good time to buy a car in Canada, and I illustrated it. I was wondering if anybody had heard footsteps of a new buggy. That's all, I wasn't try to pick a fight.

I refer you back to my original post...

It will be just like when the 2.0 came out. And then Hara won with a $300 CAR ( so he says). Hobby shops couldn't keep a HB in stock for more than an hour

No fight picked. Just a good conversational disagreement of agreements

I'd love to see a race like the old IROC series. All exactly the same car. Pick it up 10 mins before the race.

Something actually helps improve on track performance.....sorry, but what hardware is used to hold it together means squat

Well said sir. Ill wait. 3.0 is still a great chassis. And i want my 15 minutes back for reading a pointless tiff on kit hardware.
