That being said, I've been running HT pads on both sides since they came into stock and my belt is still doing just fine. I have a spare belt on order, just in case.

I actually have two spare belts but I havent had any belt issues either. I probably have a hundred packs in the car and I've only had to adjust the tension once! Well twice if you include the initial break in/stretch.
I'm just amazed cause so many people have slipper issues and are against running both HT pads...but I do run both and have no slipper issues...

they do fit pretty nicely and have a nice look to them. i will be testing them out to see if they improve how it drives and try various oil and piston sets. im currently running 30 f and 25 r with red springs

Mud Flaps

Has anyone else had their mud flaps pull right off? At least three of the SC104x4 guys and one of the Losi guys have lost mud flaps at our track... the three flaps we found were perfectly intact, so it looks like the rubber just stretched around the washer and screw.

One guy has CA'd his flap to the bumper inbetween the screws and they are holding on well for him...
