I installed stiffer springs in the front after this run and also loosened the pinion gear a little.

I moved the lipo up and also the esc so the weight is better.

The next thing I'm going to do is build custm drive shafts. The motor twist these stock shafts like twiggs. I ordered some hardend drive cups for the rear diff. I'm having problems with breaking them also. I hope the weight to the front helps also.

Anyone wondering if the IntegyPiggyback Losi 5ive shocks any good?
Well hear is my short reveiw of them. The material are very good! Smooth and well finished. I was really suprised to see stainless shafts that are the same size as the stock Losi pieces and will interchange. The seals are also high quality and look great being made of silicone rubber and clear so seeing flaws if any is much easer. The spings are very stiff.
The only complait is the shocks don't come with a boot to keep dirt off the shaft. As for the resavor I'm just getting to play with how it works. I did add 30 wt oil and tried them. To fill all 4 shocks took over 100 cc. They are very smooth and look to not have any leaks including the bleader knob.
I give this product 4 out of 5 stars!



Above is the losi titanium shafts with the stainless integy shafts also the losi boots.

Here is how I'm going to run them. I have the stock losi caps on the way.

This will help keep the weigh down and I will sell the rest of the parts.

Well guys it has been awhile since I posted anything here. But I'm looking at this new esc that is made by the same company that makes my Beast 910kv motor and guess what its called? "THE BEAST''!It is also made for the HV servos that are in 95% of 1/5 scale trucks and buggies. I have seen the insides of the esc and it is impressive! The esc doesn't even use fans to coolit's self! It that efficient.

I picked up a HD sports 1080 video camera today on ebay it looks just like the GO PRO. The reviews, look real good and the price was $55.00 free shipping. I picked up a SD mini 32GB card that it doesn't come with on ebay also for $7.05 free shipping. So I will do some on board vids when it shows up from China.
