[QUOTE=RB FIVE;4504476]That's ghey....
We don't have enough for a 4wd class. We don't have enough for a truck class. We don't have enough for a mod and 19t class.
racing sucks lately......
:f laming:
Imma use my friday's to go hang out with my friends and my chick soon......
thats the way it usually is once the weather changes, most people look to do things other then race when its nice out, others go to other tracks to race outside. use the open track to get your stuff dialed and get some wheel time, i remember winter racing at LIR was always awesome with a lot of really fast guys, you will be a better driver come winter if you take advantage of the low turnout in the summer.

So Andrew--you have a CR coming? I also need a good setup for mine, I am half way done building. I still don't know why guys dis Losi kits--everything interlocks perfectly, great bearings (half rubber, half metal shielded) the ea3 which I thought would be floppy has a great amount of stiffness vs. flex, has MUCH less play at the arms and pivots than when I built my BK2 (also a super high quality car). There is a good amount of flashing on the chassis, arms and shock tower--but overall I am super impressed with the quality. Compared to a late model B4 kit (with the ragged shock interiors and the bullshit rubber sealed bearings) the Losi seems FAR better built and looks like superior material quality. Can't wait to try it out.
I got a BK2 body I am painting up, who else liked the BK2 body (with the NACA ducts down the side) over the CR body?

Yeah Jay, I had Rob order me one. I'll be building it on Saturday and running it on Sunday provided it gets here Friday night. I'm looking forward to it.

good ish! What setup are you going to run? The rear pivot block is interesting and a bit different to what I am used to. It provides 2 degrees anti-squat with no washers, one 0.030" in the back is 1 degree--etc. Losi also sells a seperate 0 degree rear block for no squat. Its funny how differently its put together compared to a b4. Real solid build.
