I swear the more I just chill and relax and drive within my limits the more I am a handful to the guys who usually can beat me with ease.
Slower and sometimes not taking a jump is faster, period.

Yep, my first win with the Losi came from an event to where I really didn't think I was doing anything. I was just driving the car and it proved to be plenty fast. Funny how that works.

That's how it works
The forum is a funny place to me, full of drivers who take a jump when they are not even squared to take it and full of drivers who don't slow down for the corner and blame it all on 'said' car...
Priceless is when you meet them on the track and now you can see their driving has all to do with any car and I mean ANY car breaking and not being reliable
Or engines that can't tune or get good mileage
I always feel bad for the newbs on forums as they have much to learn about how to carefully evaluate what they read on here...

Miss you too Bud!
It's funny but I gave my 2.0T to someone the other day while I tested their 3.0B and they were asking me "where are my brakes" and I was like... "what's that"

He he. I knew I was opening a can of worms with that comment. It was just some ribbing towards a friend of mine. Not knocking the losi buggy.

I used a aluminum 2mm spacer on each stand off on the rear titanium stand-offs and no more problems. No need to space on the fronts.
