(I've seen many people here comment on this, yet it still isn't part of the initial post....)

Also, when assembling the slipper, depending on how your kit was made, you will likely have to shim it an extra 1/16th of an inch, or 2mm... I used 2 1/4" washers that were about 1/32 (1mm) thick between my slipper plate and slipper spring and I have no slipper issues. Some people report putting this on the other side of the slipper assembly (put them on the shaft before the pulley) works well. Just be careful that your belt is lined upstraight from front to back.

Drive the truck like a touring car and you will likely find more success than if you drive it like a monster truck... The general consensus is that this truck prefers finesse, while the Losi prefers to be manhandled.

Just my 3 cents.
