Please teach me this as I like my stock Losi tires but the foams are mush.
I also have a question for you guys and apologize if it's been dealt with as I don't feel like reading the whole thread. We had a guy at our track today all happy to run his toy only to see the shock come apart after about 3 laps. Is there an issue with the shocks not being built correctly? It looks to me like the screw through the piston backed out. I felt bad for the guy and promised to look into it. Thanks guys.
