Yes, front upper outer top link. I got them out of my spares bag. I bought the spare turnbuckle kit. There are a handfull of them in there.

Nice shell too

I looked at ordering it from Integy, it won't ship until 8 feb. Tower has it. But they want $5 shipping. I'll just add it to my next order.

And for the DS1015, you need the 25T which is for Futaba

Emailed them to check or be advised on the right horn.

Well, since the one I have fits. The only explanation is the smaller one fits better.

I also made an edit to my last post.

I just always run a fan on my stuff. I never know what's goin to happen. Runs fine for a while. Then all of a sudden you pull it in one day and it's way hotter than it's ever been. Just scary for me. And with the reliability of the Tekin speed controls. You would figure no one would take that chance. I have a fan on my motor case.

Hey guys I have a couple questions, I figured I'd get a pretty quick reply here. I'm trying to start with the best buggy possible, my question is, is there any difference between the rc8be and the rc8b? What I want to know is would I be better off getting a rc8b and converting it or is the rc8be identical just already converted? I have 2 older rc8's right now and one is converted electric so I have all the necessary parts, just want to make sure I'm not missing out on something better from the nitro kit. Thanks guys!

That is a great paint job - I had a similar thing in mind but my painting skills are now what yours are! I was starting to lean towards the upgrade-rc skins.

In the last 2 months i bought and built both the RC8B and the RC8Be. The only difference between the 2 is the "e" comes with the motor mount, the riser plate under the center diff, the battery tray, the electronics tray where the servo is mounted and a plastic spur gear. Oh and the body is different. So you could literally take your RC8B not the RC8 and buy the 70$ conversion kit (ASC80930) from AE and have an "e".

I used to run a upgrade skin on my Losi 8E 2.0. I really liked it, real durable and lasted a long time. I lucked out actually, I bought a body they hadn't modeled a skin for yet so they took my body from me to use as a template and gave me 2 skins for the car plus a radio skin for free!
