Hey redrockin,have you ever listened Bon Jovi singing in Spanish??? Would you wish I make a video with a Spanish version of Bon Jovi’s songs??? I’m sure you’d really enjoy it too much, oh could you please send me some cassettes, here they are not more available
Anyway, Alex your video was good, next time just let me to listen the noises of your Losi, so I can compare it with mine and check it’s running good!!!

I can clearly see that where you're from that they spend their educational money wisely, for one.... It's redrokin, two..... Your fragmented sentences are very sad excuse for even a 9 year old, let alone you..... Like I stated before.... It's his vid and he can play whatever the hell he wants to play. As for your cassettes go.... I'm just surprised you've heard of Bon Jovi.... And thirdly... Why would I wish to listen to him in Spanish when the English version is much better.

Now run along little one, go play with your walmart special RC toy........ Grown ups are talking.

Never was one to do too much proof reading.

Well received my brass cylinder, 50x70mm for allmost 30bucks.

Here's what I'll like to come with




This will weight approx 130g, I dont feel like it's enough but I will wait for dlux wheel to check if I can increase the size a bit.
What you think?

[AlexG]

Or this one wich should weight approx 150g.

[annedecke]

Looking good

I´d wait for the wheels to decide the design.

[AlexG]

After a bit of tinkering I guess that I'll go with the 1st version with another weight like the felsenfest one on top of it.

I went out today to test my rover, I'm very pleased with these tires and the truck felt really good today. Till the breakage




The truck landed just right on one front wheel.

Yes I agree,I need those wheel to see If I can increase or reduce it a bit, wheel are on their way

[annedecke]

Which way? To germany ;) ?

[concretejungle]

not trying to be critical but i'm curious why the desire to tweak the caster so much? I mean are you honestly going to tune it at the comp just before a run? Seems like more caster is nice to help you reach out and grab a ledge when you turn your wheel (and it is, i have the 20 degree C's also and have enjoyed that), but what's the advantage of adding more or taking away caster?

Just asking because you have the 20 degree C's already (if you were going to adjust caster, stick with stock and save the money IMHO), so please enlighten me on the need to adjust it so much.

I like the feeling that the 20* C hub give but for me it's more a matter of clocking the axles without taking caster away. The upper link hit the servo plate, If you look in my thread you'll see that I'm running my steering servo pretty low and then the upper link hit the servo plate. To fix it you need to clock your axle a bit more forward but without the Dlux caster block that will take caster away. Plus they let me run my steering link higher.

Its all about options.

Personally, I like closer to 30* so these help that. If you have the caster blocks, you can try 30*, if you dont like it, move it to 20* or in between if you like.

Another thing is you can run the steering at 20* or whatever degree you want and you can clock the pinion/steering tie rods to whatever you want. I wish I would have had this to do a BTA steering since it seemed like everything was just barely in the way all the time.

Erik.... I wanted to say thanks bro for letting me pick up the knuckle weights...And again for hookin me up with that Futaba radio, I was talking with Mike at WVC Hobby and there's a Comp on the 10th at Little Moab. I plan runnin my LCC.... I'm sure i'll get worked, but ya gotta start somewhere hu?.... I'm really curious on how my rigs going to do going up against all those MOA's. I really don't expect a whole hell of alot considering it'll be my first COMP!.

[Erik D_lux]

V2 is in the mail . This will be the standard from now on.

[AlexG]

These look bulletproof, great job

[AlexG]

I went back to front straight lower link, I feel like these hired more the overall performance of the truck.

Do you run screws top and bottom also? I see mine forming a white line across the screw holes but was hoping the ones top and bottom will keep it together?
