Solution would be to put the 2mm hexes back on
I found that on all but the AKA wheels, the webbing rubs the very back tip of the front arm where the hinge pin/screw is. I run the 2mm hubs and no rubbing for me! I also noticed a tick more steering with the 2mm hubs also.

None yet.....been running them on my RC8T-E with 6S, so its a little heavier then even the nitro setup. Truck runs great with them and even had some hard smacks into the ground over some big triples and nothing so far.

Also with the wing I've noticed that it works real well if you drill through the back of the hole where the bolt goes so that your lock nut gets fully threaded onto the bolt.

I have been on the phone with Mark @ AKA. They have a stonger rim coming out (something to do with the plastic they are made with). I cracked 4 rims and he sent me new rims and tires (siince there were cityblocks). I had to send the cracked rims/tires back to them. No questions asked for the new set. The new rims are in and should be shipping. I will have to pull up my email telling you how to tell the differance between the old and new. If you have a set of the old rims, boil them for 3 minutes before you mount them and you should be fine.

1. I replaced the stock plastic spindles with the ali ones. Tried to put the hubs back on, I use Xray +2's due to less play, and they were so tight, I could hardly turn the drive shafts. Put the originals back in and they were a lot looser?????
2. I believe it has been mentioned that with the standard hexes, the car will have more traction. I have yet to verify this as I didn't have time last Sunday to try the two on the track back to back.
Is anybody else using the Xray hexes to help take some of the slop out?

Two things why I changed back to stock:

I just use shims behind the hexs to keep the slop out. I only shimmed 2 of the hexs because the rest were fine. I use the +2 hubs and I have no problems with traction.

Hey guys
Well I am going to be buying a Losi 2.0 Truggy tomorrow and am wondering what I need to do such as shimming the diffs (also what is this) and other things I have to do before I get on the track... I am going to be using Proline LPR mounted Crimefighters M2 tires...
Thanks

I ran mine for 5 tanks .. before racing .. things that came off were the plastic bits on the end of the shock shafts , they seemed to be just stripped as if they was done up too tight in the factory and a plastic steering servo horn but i changed that for alloy servo arm .. then i ran it for 10 mins of practice, 28 mins of heats and 20 min final with no issues .. although i did bend a rear shock shaft but that was due to a bad landing.
