Was thinking of trying something different as I just can't seem to get over the hump. All of the guys ahead of me I have beaten somewhat consistently in other classes. The Losi just has an advantage under these conditions. Every now and then I have managed to get 3rd on the podium but it is usually when one of the other Losi SC trucks crash out or experience problems during a race.
I wonder if Max Flurer has tried using the Exotek aluminum chassis (or uses it)?
Just seems this truck really is best for smaller indoor type tracks with high grip levels. I guess it is why Cav and Maifield don't seem to race it anywhere else.

Now, my truck is pretty well dialed (though there is always room for improvement) and I'm almost always in the fight for the top spots now. Last race day was called due to rain, but in the 2nd qualifier, I was 0.4s off 1st place over 6 minutes.
I gave my truck to our local fast guy during the last practice (who has been trying to sell me his old Losi 1.0 now that he has a 2.0, and has been a Losi guy for all his cars for years) and he did mention that it was a LOT better than the last time he drove it.
BlueGlowBoy: Cool! Many thanks for the info and I'm curious to know what other set-ups work with this truck under the conditions I mentioned. On other kits I have tried combining elements of different set-ups and at times it has actually produced good results so looking forward to it.
Cain: Hey thanks for your PM and recommendations as well!
