The Losi 8s are race bred and are on the ragged edge/set for kill, hence the constant wrenching. That's just the way it is in RC and 1:1 motorsports for that matter when everything is on the line. Constant wrenching goes with the territory. Anyways, it sounds like it's time to get yourself a Hellfire SS and put some heat on those 8s. With a little tweaking (the SS has the tweaks) and a hot .28, the Hellfire can be a very competitive ride. It's HPI's fault that nobody respects the Hellfire. They failed to properly promote it and they never formed a factory team that could showcase its abilities. What a waste, HPI could've really had a winner.[8D]
