i dont think it will matter, your bearings are sitting on the shoulders of the diff case and ring gear, the bearings allow the diff to be suspend and still rotate with little resistance

sportsman.. but still a victory in my book. 1st place winner was 2 laps up. 3rd place was like 20 seconds behind me. so i think SOMEONE should of been in intermediate class..... oh well. still had a good time. ruff qualifying. didn't finish any qualifying race, and started 9th on amain. came back to get the semi victory!

there was 12 entries. so all 12 raced the amian. no B or C mains.

since this was my 2nd real race.. still learning how the races are announced and scheduled, i was like really really late to my 2nd qual. i guess you don't have to tech for practice but you do for race... i don't know.. i was lost.

i was plenty early for the main. finally found a good tune, and rocked that 30 mins with 2 pits! thats right.. pit @10 mins, and had a sip of nitro to spare.

Sorry don't know if this is correct forum to post.
Question is my losi 8ight t 1.0 sometimes rolls backwards when I start it up, I shut it off and restart it and it's fine. It's a lrp .28 with the roto start setup had this motor in my 8ight 2.0b prior and this has never happened. Just wondered what could cause this? Thanks

Shhhh. I do get bored u are right. Sometimes they work out but usually I switch. Fioroni parts are 50/50. I love their top plate and buggy shock towers but their way overpriced diff case is t worth it (it does look cool in the E truggy because you can actually see it) and their way overpriced adj hinge pin braces are a joke. The front one didn't last 10 laps on a tiny indoor track before it lost an insert. Their rear chassis braces are great for tuning. The thin one flexes more than the stock plastic one. Depends on what you want.

Damn Frank is that what broke on you yesterday? No wonder you couldn't make it back. That's some serious carnage for these little cars, huh?
