What kind of rims you got Rabbit? Got any pics of masher. Hey dude, my freaking Mini Monster Baja's servos stripped! Both of them! They just keep spinning the moment I turn the power of the car on. Hope Horizon will be cool with warranty.
I've got another set of the Proline Cheyanns's. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJVG0&P=7 and there are the Mashers... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEWT0&P=7 They are just all around good tires, last a while and look tough to me :P
Yea those JR servo's. Mine came with both broken or one of them anyway. I just took them out and put Hitecs in there. However like with some other Losi stuff they try to force you in to using their crappy junk (even tho they are JR's in there). I put Hitec's in there of course but you have to make your own steering servo using something like this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXS446&P=7 from Kimbrough. Just get the one that will fit your servo. you just ned to figure out which hole you are going to use and dremmel the size of it down a bit. It becomes obvious what needs to be done once you start doing it. My servo's also needed to be slightly shaved down so the steering assembly could move over it. If you need help I let me know. I would snap some pics for you but I sold he thing already. I will see if I took any pics of it but I dont think I did.
Going to Hot Rod Hobbies track today if anyone is around and wants t meet up. Going to have the full on setup with extra table, chairs, wind and sun breakers... everything but the kitchen sink...
Let me know, my buddy is going to film as well  I dont know if I like that idea. I'm not used to the track so I know I'm going to hate making this video LOL. I am trying to get more steering out of my MGT but should have it fixed sometim today. I got some Bowtie's (40's, 23mm) that will be used. I might take off some of tha preload as well..
If you are in the area come check us out!
Well do you have the track results and the video ready yet? -) How did the bowtie's work for you? Like I said I am going to run Crimefighters as that seems to be the tire they use around these here parts. Did you do the steering mod to your knuckles yet? I desperately have to do this before I hit the track again...need MORE steering. I will also have a 1600 pack in there next time a well...Out with the AA's.
I have Red springs, No spacers, Stock arms and 55 Weight oil all the way around. How about you?

Man I dont know what I was running LOL... I spent more time wrenching at the table with the cars I thought I had working right LOL... The LT8 lost the steering servo after 3 laps then I used my Revo which I was doing terrible with. They changed the track all around so I was trying to get used to it again as well as jus tbeing new to the track. The Revo had crap steering. The 40 series ires an what I though were bowties did NOT seem to work well unless the track was watered down and i almost immediatly dried up. So I think I lost the clutch on the Revo because it would not idle right and the tires spin like crazy I still tried to drive it but it became a pain. By that time the day was almost over. I pulled out the CRT.5 and did the best I did all day (which was not that great). Of course my camera man was no where to be found when I actually went round the whole track without crashing. The crt.5 handled the best with those stock tires (new) and that dirt. I was also just getting in to the track when the guy came by and said they were closing down. The day just flew by so fast.
The guy that is up here "Shawnofthedead" has a Jammin and he showed up. Cool guy and can drive much better. I wiill get a video up soon on my site but mostly of him LOL... I learn a lot going to the track that is for sure. It is a very different thing sitting at a park hitting hills than manuvering a technical track withough higging stuff. Not just that though, just getting used to how things work there and all that. I really hate 13 year old kids destroying me on the track tho... Polite little ****er too which makes it worse... LOL...
Video soon...
