Build it to specs in the manual. It is a great starting point. Then use TLR tuning guide to find the best settings for you and your track. Build tips and link to the tuning guide can be found here: http://losiracing.blogspot.com/2013/...uild-tips.html

Shim your ring and pinion gears properly so they last and don't strip teeth. These seem to help. Team Losi Racing Aluminum Rear Gearbox Bearing Insert Set (2) https://www.amainhobbies.com/team-lo...lr3100/p235958

Best thing I ever upgraded on 2.0 for better handling: Front Spindle Carrier, 15 Deg, +2mm, Aluminum: SCTE (TLR334017). Suggest you use 3.0 front arms and spindle carriers to get same thing.

**Best part I ever purchased for durability: Xray Diff Washers 964050 https://www.amainhobbies.com/xray-5x...a964050/p22764

**2nd best part I ever purchased for durability: MIP Pro4mance™ Chassis Braces – Rigid, TLR SCTE 2.0 #13249 *Discontinued* If you can find them buy a set and don't look back. Money well spent.

Talk to fast guys at your track or tracks you plan to race at for tire info. So many fast tires of the week you could fill up a laundry basket and still not have the best compound or tread design.

Best tire advice to anyone wanting to race. Use race tires on the track only. Run a cheap or used tire for bashing on pavement, yard, gravel. Race tires are usually done after one run on anything other than the track.

I spend more money on tires than anything else on my truck
