lol rut'in it up at hobby hut

i know this is off topic but the slash just soaks the ruts up it at the hut i was the orange and green body truck last weekend there pretty fast too

the slash is also Not 7-8.5Lbs and Do Not go 45-50mph.

Are you actually saying hat a slash can handle the ruts better than the losi?? Not in my opinion I have a slash and they truley are a fun little no thrills toy. My 8t and 8 will blow the slash out of the water on fun factor and rough track handeling. So if you are saying what I think you are saying I want some of what you are smoking on... JK

no im not saying the slash handles better on ruts than a losi eight but its not bad though

Ok thanks for clarifying.

tonkas are better in the bumps LOL

100% And that's becausE they built the bumps. But he was slash talkin...

Has anyone had a problem with the droop screw in the back stripping out? Is there a fix for the hole or am I going to have to replace the arm? Mine stripped yesterday during the main causing the shock end to pop off and me losing the series championship yesterday.

Another question. Is there a alternative out there for the plastic shock ends? I have replaced all of them from the factory but have had 3 pop off. I have my droop right. Getting tired of losing ends.

Hey Frank. That GRP I bought from you is awesome. There is no one at my track that can even come close to me . I pull the second fastest motor by 3 truck lengths everytime. WOW. I am thinking of getting a O.S. motor. Does Powerhouse mod them too. If they do I will definately get them to do it. Their the Bomb.

Did you clean out the threads of all the melted plastic when you replaced them the first time ?

for the droop screw's ive never had one strip and there really isn't a fix....just replace the arm.

Yeah I cleaned the thread on the shaft before I installed the new ends.

I figured the only fix for the droop screw was replace the arm. It was worth a shot to see if any one had a fix for it.

Well had my first day at the track with my RTR. I will say one thing, this thing is tough! First time on an 1/8 scale track in a couple years and ARC has a few decent sized jumps. I did manage to break the battery box though! Just have to use screws to hold the lid on instead of body clips so no big deal. I bought it with the intent to converting to electric but i have to say now i am not in a big hurry, I had to much fun. Of course ask me again when the stock motor stops holding a tune! I may pick up another motor this week. Just need to find something really easy to tune.

novarossi holds a tune and easy to tune

Easiest engine I have tuned so far has been OS. They are never more than 2 hours off. When I ran GRP I was always tuning and tuning and tuning and then right when I got it right the race day was over and it would change again. I really like the ease of the os engines, right now I'm running speed engines.

how did u use screws insend of the body clips to hold down the battery box
did u cut the tabs off or something ,my broke also when i first went to a 1/8 offroad track i think it was because i had to much epa on my brake and it was flexing but its fine now just replaced the radio tray,i did see somebody stick a small o-ring around the post where the clips go smart idea
