No you need a Cap head screw i done did the Blue Locktight with a button head screw and washer the mesh still moves everytime after running, even if tighten good.

The motor adjustment screw doesn't come loose. It is the screws that mount the motor to the motor plate. The adjustment screw has already been modified.

What bodies do you guys recommend? I currently have the losi stock body, althought it's nice, I'd like to know of more options. Durability for me is key, as shape and look aren't really a big deal.

I'm sportin' one of these right now: http://www.jconcepts.net/store/index...roducts_id=500
It's holding up okay. The previous owner chopped off the nerf bars and I usually add some velcro on those and the body to help support the middle of the body. This helps keep the body around longer along with strategically placed shoe goo at the stress concentration points.

I do race on carpet. My screw is not countersunk. It sits in a washer on the top. I need a new screw though.

I have run my scte 8 times on my local track and already have a bent a rear bent shock tower.....geeeesh....i thought this stock aluminum tower will last a bit longer. Forced me to by the CF rear tower. Besides that i have put this truck through HELL and its a champ....nothing broken and the pro4 pushes it around the track with authority.

So if i were to upgrade to the flex tuned chassis will it be a direct swap or i need to add spacers under the center diff to make it right? Sorry but a bit confused

Its a direct swap. When ya take your center diff mounts off the stock chassis, you don't have to use the black plastic piece its sitting on, when you put it on the flex tuned chassis.

If your out drives have notches in them from the drive shafts turning....they're shot. The HD lightened out dives are hardened and mine barely show any wear after a year of racing and some backyard thrashing too.

I run full droop plus 2 turns out on the bottom shock ends. Then set your ride height with your shock collars.
