Noj Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Chaps, Preseason 5ive fettling is soon to commence,and I am undecided about retaining the uber extenders. I fitted them as a matter of course, having done so with the e-bajas however the Losi being such a stable platform, are they really needed? I run hostile mxts with silverback SC rear rims all round; coupled with the extenders, I've had to dial in negative camber to clear the rear arches (nb, NOT a fan of the non arch look). I still have the stock hubs, so a swap back is easy. Thoughts/experience please. She isn't raced, just bashed of course...just in case that makes any difference to my question.

Tug Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Take em off, straighten the wheels and see how she handles. I doubt you'll notice anything. They're not known for rolling over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 In my hands, with my 'skill' at setting up shocks, ANYTHING is possible rofl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feedtheinferno Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I was thinking the exact opposite. As I am getting a penta eventually, mixed with the fact I already have a caged body I was going to get some extenders. Maybe we could have a chat if you do take them off?

Silverback RC Products Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Grab yourself some 5imians. Theyre designed for the Losi platform with +3mm offset. Plus theyre ultra scale looking too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 maybe i'm being thick here but if you already have the stock hexes, surely its not a big deal setting it up stock to see how it is, and if you don't like it i don't see it being a big deal changing it back?

Pharrel Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'll sure be getting Simians when my stock wheels fall apart... or maybe sooner Now that I got my electric screwdriver I am not afraid of taking wheel apart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 I have simians, sadly, the clone tyres I have just don't seat properly, hence why SC rears where fitted. Yes, TW, I can just swap straight back, just wondered if it was worth doing so or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
