yes you are correct, but i was tlking major improvements...i dont think shock towers and shocks are really major plat-form improvements, more like an "update"...when losi makes an "update" most of the time its totaly different

and theres no real advantage, other than geting the center diff out faster

frank or integra can i get your opinion on this.

I got brand new chassis for both my buggy and truggy. im replacing my buggy chassis because its worn out big time. As far as truggy goes ive had it since it was first released,. The chassis isnt worn to bad. A lot of the black is still on the chassis except front and back(i already have de racing skid plates on order) should i change the truggy chassis now or do you advise waiting?


AND

i need a little more bottom end, ive been advised to run 2 silver springs amd 2 gold w/ 2 alum 2 comp but i dont wanna kill my shoes. Will running the 4 max life shoes with 2 silver and 2 gold have decent life?

btw engine and pipe set up is good

for the T chassis i would keep on running it unless its past 1/2 the overall thickness of the chassis.....a worn out chassis will flex more which equates to more traction on a rougher track...too much flex might cause the rear bone to bottom out in the center out drive and potentially bend the shaft and or break the rear chassis brace....i dunno im thinkin extremes here.
Ive ran DE's from day 1 on all my gear and my truggy/buggy chassis is still BN black underneath the skid....i think its kinda extreme some guys replace the chassis every season or even every 1/2 a season(which ive heard of from guys who race the PIT frequently.)

for the clutch...going to 4 alum shoes will provide you with a lot more bottom end punch which will also equate to more wheel spin which can be a bad thing if you don't have the traction to support it.....the 2 comp on gold and 2 alum on silver does work but you will have decreased life from the shoe's.....wait wait...what vehicle are we talkin here for the clutch ? buggy or truggy ?

this is in truggy. Buggy i have great bottom end, i even went to black and green springs.

IN TRUGGY, i just need a little more bottom end.I want good life out of my shoes thats why i havent went to silver springs because i used to run those and went thru a clutch fast. Right now im lasting 1/2 to a full gallon. Im currently running 2 comp 2 Alum 2 Green and 2 Gold. How long will it last with 2 Gold and 2 Silver? Dont you run max life shoes?

im no frank or integra...but i would also wait on changing that truggy chasis from the way you describe it

hey integra, do alum shoes run slightly cooler because it doesnt slip as much vs alum/composite combo?

ive been runing alum/composite combo on gold and silver springs...i have a half gal on them and they are still in awsome shape...i can see another half gal or more on them...

you run the 053 pipe on your +4 on your truggy?...

actually reggie i forgot about you, your pretty knowledgeable to

You want to be running all aluminum with the truggy. If you were running composite with aluminum on the truggy that's why you were lacking some bottom. Try all aluminum with gold and green should be happy with that setup.

i find that sometimes all alum has too much grabbing power... lot of losi's guys run alum and composite combo's...on truggy

i like the combo im running...i think that 053 is holding losi-racer back... the +4 is a very finicky motor when it comes to pipe and header combo's...

yes for sure less slip=less heat.

I personally run a M2C set-up in truggy for the sheer reason the losi clutch doesn't last terribly long in a high hp application like my JPX's from Neal....but there again that's an all alum set-up and might be overly grabby VS a Comp/alum set-up.

losi_racer try all gold before going up to silver's...i feel the jump from gold to silver is pretty extreme on some motor's.

LOOking goooood Jim.


Couple more and im sure im up.

i plan on going to the 9853 in the truggy but i was given the 053 by a local. i was told by many people that the 053 is a clone to the 9853. Ive just spent A LOT last 2 months and thats been on the low priority list. i need to get 2 pipes actually because i made the mistake with my buggy,i got the old 9853 which are weak and the pipe is bent where the stinger connects, it looks like someone t-boned me and pushed the stinger in. ive ran it for about month in a half and it hasnt affected tune at all but i know its going to break sooner or later

ived read up on this befor...053 is the closest thing out to the 9853 but it is not the 9853....ask huston...its not

what header you run?

i believe u, like i said i am going to switch prob next pay day.
