Don't forget to set the ride hight!! Some people forget that on a Losi ride hight is very important.

Yep, now that I set the droop as per spec, I will need to re-check the camber and ride height settings. I am getting some ali blocks made to 39mm and 42mm as per spec.

ride height is 1 of the MOST important setting's to always be on top of.....ive found the 8ight's are Uber sensitive and will handle like poo if they are off by more then a couple mm...get yourself a decent ride height gauge and get measuring.

Losi makes one of the cheapest ones and it's great!

Team AE's is about twice as much but really nice as well...

This guy paints like that for $25 http://www.rctech.net/forum/r-c-item...y-painted.html on and before anyone says anything here i sent the painter a pic of one of PIMP_9000 Darrens bodies and he copied it for me. Some complaining is being done like the painter stole Darrens paint scheme when I sent him the picture. Who doesnt copy pictures and paint schemes these days. I could afford $25 but not $70 to $109 which is what Darrens body like this sold for one ebay! But it has more graphics to it then mine.

Default King Headz Two Piece Standard Motor Mount

Someone plz enlighten me how to use it, maybe it's just one of my slow days, but I can't figure it out. When removing the engine, do i remove it with the motor mounts or just the engine???!!!!

Remove the engine and blocks as one, leaving the motor mount secured to the chassis.

I thought I read on a post that someone made an aftermarket bearing that goes in the stock location. Possibly boca or acer or advid??
