Sorry guys I got carried away, my first pics on here so I got a little excited to show my ride. And I know its a Losi body but I had it and didn't wanna pitch it, I have other ones that need cut and sent to painter.

Very nice my brother. I like the way it looks with the flathead screws and the beveled washers it looks like aint nothing going anywhere unless you want it to. Clean rig man.

Nice wreckya - almost looks like you polished the BCE chassis.

I hate to say it but that losi body has been the best short course body I've tried so far. I have had mine for close to a year and it still in pretty good shape.

Thanks guys, the chassis I just cleaned with some dish liquid and a brush for 2 min. After one day of practice it no longer looks like that trust me. The Losi bodies aren't holding up that we'll for me and I have em backed with reinforced aluminum tape, which is easier and lighter than the shoe goo thing. I ran the truck one day and I have a problem with my chassis chuck. The one hole for the steering post was made a very tiny bit too big so now it won't tighten down all the way. There is not enough chassis metal from the hole being too big so the screw bottoms out against the steering post instead of the chassis. I can wiggle the post. I put pipe dope tape around the bottom of the screw and was able to tighten it but it's only gonna get worst as the hole gets bigger. I'm really upset I ran it once.

Like the countersink was too wide or deep on the bottom of the chassis for one hole?
Not the hole on top of the chassis that the post keys into right? With the spacer the post is 1mm above the recess so that shouldn't even be contacting.

Exactly the countersink was too deep so the chassis material at the bottom of the countersink was paper thin which caused the hole to open up a little and that's where I'm at.

It won't be much fun pulling the chassis apart and replacing it, can you put a 0.5mm washer between the chassis and the steering post?

You did a fantastic job on that, what's on the bottom of the chassis. Looks kind of like carbon fiber. Ok now put that one on the shelf where it belongs, way to pretty to get dirty and show us your real race truck. LOL Just kidding, I'm very jealous you did a real nice job on that, did you do the paint your self?

I wouldn't bother getting the tekin stuff. Get the hobbywing sct pro and 3565 motor (400-4700 depending on track size) runs awesome and has more power than the pro4 IMO and is half the price

Don't hate on the 550 2pole. That thing is a beast! I'm not getting rid of it. I just want to try this motor and give my opinion on it. There is a lot of buzz around this motor.
