| Left rear shock shipped black
Has anyone else noticed that factory shipped, their Losi MRC has a non matching left rear shock - mine is black and slightly thinner gauge - strength is slightly different - about the same length - a few less turns. strange - the box was Losi factory sealed. great rtf crawler though - my first. cheers |

got it - I wondered if they ran out of silver - so is it softer or stronger?

No worries it is supposed to be that way. When the crawler is going up an incline it has a natural force that wants to flip it left and back. Losi put a stiffer spring on the back left to provide force to work against this. Most people call it torque twist. No worries your crawler is fine. |

thanks - I looked a the pics on the Losi site - but should have check more on this forum is anyone planning to skidplate their diffs - or are you not worrying about it (the plastic axle and diff cover look pretty durable - just curious) cheers |

| Skid plates are for transmissions only. You run them till the axles wear through, buy new cases and repeat. FWIW, I beat the crap out of my MRC and the axles show very little wear at all.

| That would add more to get hung up on, the axle cases are prety thick and you shouldent where threw them anytime soon. I took a dremal tool to mine to shave them down for a tiny bit extra clearance |
