Regardless of brand, Every truck/buggy when it comes out needs to be tweaked, or re-engineered in some way to make it even better.
Now that people have them figured out , people are winning and really enjoying their rides.
Isn't that what it is all about?
Even full scale cars, need to be tweaked to get them where you want them.

Wow man... your a douche... go ahead, report me, I could care less. No one is forcing you to drive this truck. AE is working on a sloution for everything. They can't do only what you want. Sure, other people are having the same problem and complaining about it but you take it to the next level!!
P.S.: Leave cherry alone, he put's tons of useful information on here and all you do is whine about EVERYTHING and bash people.

I agree, however I think some people are taking issue with the FT as it didn't address the issues that were determined or addressed the issue in a way that seems more like a patch instead of a real fix.

My Bottom line, Mud slinging aside: is I will be buying this FT. I will be patiently to upgrade my old Truck with the Slipper (after I give it a test run) to run my center diff in my FT kit. I may ultimately get the Exo or try out the Ballast system they put in.
We are getting ahead of ourselves with these poo-fights. I am in no way innocent, As Lodhammer loves to point out as a White Knight, as much of a Joke as he is...
We need to start being constructive again. We sound like people talking about AE in a Losi thread. We don't sound like AE boys anymore. (WC, you're just crazy) Constructive input, and frustration is fine, but we and myself are going past it into a mass that is sitting over here laughing at the product as it drives around the track. We should be talking about losi's like this, not our own trucks. (No, I'm not saying to do that!
) We have a winning Truck. Is the FT what we had hoped for? The Dream of grandeur? No. it's really not. But: It is a hell of alot better than the RTR or the old Kit.
Now that I've had 24 hours to think about it and a certain phone call for me by someone, I honestly see this as a good step. They listened to us guys. We R&D'd to a massive scale for this truck.
~1% of that chassis brace is mine! I helped make that happen on an FT by 1%.
~ MTK, they did exactly what you designed yourself to a little variation. On a National Title Truck. That's all you buddy.
~ Marcus carries some of the best hopups seen on this truck and alot of others. Which wouldn't have come on the truck anyway.
My A-arms warp. My chassis Flexes. Mention: how rigid they made the Sc10 chassis and how it broke before they redid it... Who knows what'll happen to the durability of this truck with such static parts... Maybe Awesome! Maybe bad. Who knows. The A-arms are a hit or miss. I don't understand how someone has used 1 set their whole time, and I've gone through two as taken care of as possible. (don't even start with me. I know how to take care of my truck
)
Comments like the "AE's Strike", and whatnot are hilariously false. No one could bolt anything on to that piece of shit and get around anywhere. The FT truck will win Club level. Look at it. Actually come to think of it... I think I was more mad originally with it not being flat-fixed because I couldn't buy 'new stuff' for that "wow" change. Kinda silly on my part, I thinks.
Chris: I super appreciate you being here and checking up the forums every day. I hope you will continue to do so, and I respect you highly. I hope we can get away from the poo flinging and go back to guides, and build comments, tuning, and the good fun this thread has.
I'm getting to work on those Diff fixes until AE releases theirs.(They are absolutely in the works as we read.)
That's my contribution to this thread. I will also be selling them at my cost+shipping for everyone. That's my word, and continuing contribution to you guys since the Chassis Brace deal is over with in a month.
If you want to call me a hypocrite and a tail turner, that's fine. But I didn't toss out the truck to bash it to high heaven. I've been with it since day 1 like alot of you, and I've fought, and tried, and made whatever needed to make this succeed, including trying to get people to stick with the truck. My frustrations are not seen as the 50% sarcasm they are because this is a forum and it cannot be convey'd. That's my problem for typing how I talk, and I oughta work on that.

FT backordered and now I play the waiting game.

In the far corner of the saddle pack holder you will see a barrel like part that a screw threads into the holder from the bottom of the chassis. My best guess but the chassis mold would not be changed for saddles. Too much money to tool something for one type of chassis.
