RIDE HEIGHT-it is the single most inportant setting on a losi truck-imo. I have personally helped a guy this past weekend with a E8T 2.0, I was asking him questions about his losi truck and how he liked the e-part. He said his ae truck turned a lot better-so I helped him set the ride height and loaned him a set of soft gators-another satisfied losi customer, said it was much better-even better than the ae.
invest in the losi ride height gauge and a good flat surface to check it on. When I test drove a buds losi for the first time-it felt twitchy checked and ride height was offaiadjusted and bam truck was dialed. So I bought one

I run my ride height at stock 42mm rear and 39mm front. I checked it recently and it was dead on.

hope this truck is like the buggy the buggy is very responsive to ride height and any small change you tend to notice an improvement ...

How is that body for putting on the rear body clips? The raised triangles make me wonder how easy they are to get on.

Nice paint. I do like the aggressive lines of the body. Perhaps with the steeper windshield angle the fuel pull can hide more and not get pulled when on your lid. I have that issue with the stock body. Running a ziptie without tubing or an end helps some but still causes issues from time to time.

thanks, the first time runnin it last weekend and i had no issues with the fuel tank opening, but i didnt have an issue on the original body either but i opened the hole more also tho...

as far as body clips, it was tricky at first, you have to put them in a certain way or your not gettin them in, i can get the rears just at fast as the fronts now

Well I have to give credit to Horizon....I called them on Friday late afternoon about my broken dog bone and it arrived at my house today via FedEx. That was super fast!!!

Hey guys are we still having to replace the rear camber link screws with longer ones and also having to put new shock ends on out of the box? I had to do that to my first one and now I'm fixing to grab another new one and just wanted to know if I needed to order those parts with the kit or not.

Thanks
