But, hugely in their favor, X-ray came out with a FREE patch kit to handle those issues. I haven't seen AE, Losi, or anyone else step up to the plate like that.

Once the xb2 comes out I'm going to be massively tempted to jump ship for X-ray.

Yeah where's our free ball cups..

Oil the bearings in your motor to. maybe a loose end bell?

Broken Allen wrench

Any ideas on how to get the tip of an .050 wrench out of a grub screw in a cva,so I can finish my rebuild?

Try a magnet to and hold it with pliers and tap it on something. Try any thing just get it out...LOL. I hate it when that happens. I try to use the provided L-wrenches provided in the kit when I need a .50.....

I'm curious to know if anyone is using the ballast weight and if so, are you lightening it up any, and how much? I recently had one racer tell me he does use it and drills it out to get it down to a certain weight.

So I got my car all built and was setting the electronics and had a servo question. My EPA to the left is in the 60's and to the right in the 90's. this doesn't sound normal...my b4/t4 is within a couple points left to right. Is anyone else seeing this?
