Soaking them obviously makes them a little softer and less prone to tearing ill assume ?

Don't want to strip things out but would like to speed the process up, I seen the guys at the hobby shop using power tools and the light bulb went off in my head like ooh yeah why didn't I think of that. Still haven't found a great tool for the job yet.

Hitachi All the way, The Makita is imo a little larger then I would personally prefer. A Clutch is Very Important at first to learn the gun and how powerful it is. If your on a serious budget the cheaper units from Home depot or your cheap tool center's will work, But the hitachi is Imo the best of the best. Light weight, powerful, 2 batteries, And A LOT of people use them at the track so If you forget to charge a pack or something more then likely you'll have a spare on the next table.

Hitachi is under 100$ and the best of the best.

You can get both from Steve at SNR http://www.snrgraphite.com/index.php...index&cPath=13




He doesn't have his carbon hinge pin retainers on his site, but email him at [email protected] and he will get them to you.






the weight difference is more drastic then normal as the stock plates are steel not alum like on 95% of other kits. While the SNR plates are a Big weight saving's I feel for most of the SC racing population the Steel was a Very Smart idea on Losi's part to keep those arms/toe plates in check.
