Finally got around to painting my other set of wheels and WOW did they come out awesome! Truck looks so much better now Also got a set of Traxxas links that fit perfectly in place of the stock flimsy upper links. I'll post part numbers tomorrow if anyone wants to do the same Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk |

Damn how did I not notice that? Lol my bad, no I used 3 mm washers like another user used in the front tie rods to fit. I just put 1 on each and it didn't really need to be tightened much past the normal point, the upper mounts needed to be a little tighter than the housing mounts but not much Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk |

They make a hell of a difference that's for sure! Now that Losi is releasing the aluminum one i am contemplating the just to reduce some of the unsprung weight of the steel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Yeah the cage with dual spare outback is still in the works and will be for a while, theirs a lot of work that goes into it. The steering vertical play was fixed with some new stand offs Losi sent me to reduce the play. Theirs should be a picture of old ones vs new ones somewhere in this thread. Btw great looking truck, dig the wheels! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

i think a metal cage would just eat the body up, not allowing it to flex. plastic is cheaper to replace. fact. and weather you shim the links or not.. it doesn't make a difference noticeable. a dual tire mount would definitely be a cool buy. im working on a 2wd Baja rey that could use that mount |

Anyone else have issues with the front dog bone pin end of the universal popping out? Lost 1 today, thought the axle broke, turns out the pin came out of the dog bone, upon replacing with another I had laying around, I noticed the other side was 1/2 in 1/2 out...

The only time I've ever had a dogbone throw a pin was when the end of the dogbone was cracked. Those pins are press-fit into place and shouldn't be able to come out without a huge amount of pressure.

| Re: Losi Baja Rey 1/10th 4WD RTR desert truck I agree... next time you have your front end apart, feel how easy they push in and push out.... maybe I just had a bad set...

Hello everyone! I fell in love with this platform upon purchase and saw this was the most active discussion thread on it. After finishing my scale Tour Car i wanted to give a go at an off-road scale build, when this bad boy then gets announced. I'm nearly done the build, I want to make dual shocks in the front, like I did in the back, but that will take considerable modding. Things I got so far: F11 beadlocks with MT Baja claw TTC tires HW 3400kv sensored motor 10t pinion HW sct pro esc Savox 1258TG servo Futaba 4 channel receiver Fast Eddy bearing set Ess-one sound module Proline powerstrokes front/rear with fake reservoirs Fully custom made interior with moving driver Fully custom made front/rear lights with working brake light controller Optional passenger seat camera mount Fully custom made rear gas-tank/spare holder Various other small details Switches for lights/sound fx Using SMC 7200mah 3s packs. Gets me over 30 minutes of bash Here's my recent attempt at a cab view video, just testing it with some yard bashing. Check out my channel some more to see other stuff on the truck. I'm also working on getting the rear tire holder kits produced as a sellable product. https://youtu.be/92DThEdkuT4 I'll hopefully be contacting my favourite guy over in Atlanta for a custom body sometime soon, really make this my own |

I bent an upper link today. I noticed something while bending it straight again -- there was something inside the link that was rotating as I was trying to bend the link. I don't think they're solid plastic, I think they have steel cores.

You are correct but still very weak. Either wait it out for Losi or get some traxxas links. Or make your own, what ever suits you best. It will also help with the torque steer, a lot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |
