There's been more and more of LOSI's showing up so I figured I would post up a thread on any Q??, Setup, or tips on the lil bit of dremel work it takes get everything to fit just right.

I will find blank sheet and fill it out and post. But off the top of my head I have, "and ask me anything that I may missed"...

Front:

TOE: 1.0
Ride Height: 5.0 km
Camber: neg 1 degree
Caster: 4degree
Droop: 2.5 km
Front Pivot: 1deg
Arm Spacing: Forward
Shock Position: 2
Steering Rack: 2
Camber Link: 1
Camber Ball Stud: RPM short "Blue"
SwayBar: none
Arm Length: Long
Front Drive: Spool
Pulley: 41t
Diff. Height: High
Oil: 40 losi
Piston: Black
Spring: 20



Rear:

Ride Height: 5mm
Droop: 2.5mm
Camber: 1°
Hub: 1°
Arm Spacing: Mid
Camber Link: 4/A
Sway Bar: none
Arm length: Long
Diff. Height: Low
Oil: 30 Losi
Piston: Red
Spring: 15


That's where I'm at right now but plan to do only minor adjustments pending on track type, open/tight, bite..

As aposed to dremeling, you will have to slim down the pulley's, left inner, rear block for the motor clearance. I also run my belt a loose as possible so I cleared out some clearance on the chassis.
If there's anything I may have missed ask away....

I'm running the Mazda speed 6 lite weight. But I would recommend running the .030. Because they last longer and it keeps the car around legal weight. Rite know my car is 1422, but have peices of lead weight placed on the chassis. So heavier body is good unless you can stay off the boards because that way you can have the weight lower on the chassis as aposed to having the weight at a higher CF (meaning shell body weight versus having lead/weight on center line of chassis).

Naw, those aren't in yet,although I have one that you can use. Its a complete diff/spool so from screws and it'll drop rite in. I have my parts and cars with me all times, so any parts that yo may need and we can't get you covered in time I'm sure I have it.

Also Todd and I have been working together on me givng him the parts to order,  and there's 80% of the stuff you will need on the wall.

In stock are springs, 4° caster blocks, 1°pivot blocks,and pistons. I will make sure we have the pulleys by Friday.   

Rubber tire is in full effect, jump on the band wagon its a ton of fun..
