I was fortunate enough to have 2 of the very first Evo III's in the country, a Baja 1000 and a Race Runner. I have the Race Runner up and running and really like the 4wd. It is a great rig with only a few short comings that are really not to bad and they have very easy fix's.

I did manage to do some good damage to the 1000 due to a bad servo that had been submerged in the ocean and I somehow got it mixed back in with my good servos, so after a run in with a concrete wall because of said faulty servo, I decided that it would become the test car for parts development. I am waiting on a few parts to throw the Rac Runner back out there, and i hope t race it at our upcoming "autocross" race on the 18th.

DS, did you buy the locking wheel nuts, or do they come with it?

They came with the car, I have heard now that the latest batch of Evo III's use left handed niuts on one side to keep them from coming off. I am not sure I like the idea of having left and right handed axles, I think had they just done a knurl texture to the nut like the HPI wheel nuts, it would have solved the problem.

I actually lost a locking nut that had been Loctited down, I just don't think the design is all that. Maybe when I get a chance to breath on all my other projects, I ill make some knurled back wheel nuts for the MCD's

Thanks DS.

AH I don't like LH and RH threads, not a good idea IMO.

I ordered the steel gears set 23 and 26 tooth
-center diff bearing holder assembly with bearings
-the locking wheel nuts
-27 and 36 transmission box gears
and a bunch of other things. I like to have lots of spare parts.

I hope mine doesn't have the LH RH thread thing.
