I already stripped the head on the set screw so I don't want to do anymore.

Did you try heating it up? Not solder hot but some good heat should help loosen it up (unless it is already completely stripped out).

Kit setup add V2 rear tower. Truck is no fun without the V2 rear tower, imo.

BTW peeps, I thought that I remember some talk around here about using X-Ray hubs in place of the Losi pieces to keep the slop down. Anybody remember that or is it just me?

10 degrees of caster by the blocks. Another 10 degress with the front chassis kick-up.
A total of 20 degrees of caster.

Anyone know the difference btw the new TLR0805 and the LOSA0805 kit other than the box change and the TRL in the part # change :P

I can get a new losa kit for 432 today only.. thanks for any info

Also does anyone even bother with the voltage regulator when using small 2s packs to run the Rx and servo? Just asking as many folks running mmp's w/ bec issues (including myself) have just started running a jumper off the 2s lipo into the rx. I plan on doing this as well, but just checking ;P
