I think you'll like our new wrenches, I love them. I must admit for screws that require extra torque, you just cant beat the MIP stuff. Their tips are drill blanks (from what I remember), and are nealy indestructable.

mip makes the best wrenches period, I have had my 3/32 and 1/16 for 6 years now and never a broken tip and still gets screws out better than my new losi wrenches

Yea tools are awesome, Got them in a day. I wasn't sure of the sizes cause my old drivers i have had for close to 7 years dont have the sizes on them.

I like the handles they are thick and comfortable and the tips look strong and fit top notch like hudy. I will probably order the standard set just to have them all

Pics of the bottom of the body please. I have looking at the body but I want a body that hugs the chassis a little tighter.

Great paint scheme.

Thanks,
Joe

Thanks, I have been running variations of that since about 98. A bud of mine painted that and my wheeler for me. He has done my bodies for the last year, including the one I ran at Nats last year. He does good work.

As RB posted in that first pic, the JC body hugs the chassis and doesnt have the gaps like the trident body.

Now I know I need to hurry and get those bearings in for my steering. I think my stupid steering not centering coming from the left caused us not to have another RB5 guy . He's been thinking about getting one and asked me to drive mine after the races. He loved it cause of the quickness and handling but the steering kinda threw him off. I told him that i had ordered some good stuff for it and to take another drive next weekend. i made it look good cause right now i'm the only Brushless stock guy that can make the quad (without a sintered rotor) and can run down the straight with the mod guys .

No prob man, Im glad they made it. Since Im running the proline axles I didnt need them. I came up with another set too since I got the SP conversion lol. It was worth another 98 cents to try again lol.
