Great tip for loose rod ends, I agree, I'm not swapping them until I get a problem and I've not had one pop off yet. Do you recommend marigold or thinner doctor style?

I've got HPI touring car rims with rally cross tyres and also a set of Schumacher white dish wheels with pin tyres and both sets are smaller than the stock wheels and tyres so you loose a bit of top end speed as a result. The other thing to consider is you loose a bit of ground clearance but I guess that's less important on road. Fit is perfect and no rubbing the turn buckles/rod ends. Definitely worth a go.

Mainamigo runs these and said that they transformed the ride, but he's an indoor racer and Im not sure as to how much difference you would notice if you are just a basher. Real shame that they are green as that matches nothing and clashes with everything on my rig

If you still have the stock parts you'd make more converting it back to RTR or a roller and selling off the upgrades. Takes more time but makes more money. I'd take the CF upper chassis brace and CF rear shock mount for a start - if you're interested bung me a PM

Shelf Queen ! If you want to off load any carbon or aluminum just let me know Good luck with your 1/10 ventures - got a linky?

Very nice shell and worth the wait, where did you get it done in the end? Is that it for mods now? Hope you continue to get the good results you were getting, she must be pretty dialed now

I put a couple of Hitec HS65MG in mine, just need to shave off a little of the mounting ear to get them snug. You can use RC18 servo savers but need longer screws to mount them but I just used small servo arms and no saver and it's not missed a beat. A great upgrade if you don't want to go single servo. My diffs are still holding up too, which is a constant source of surprise to me. Bought a Mini8, it's pretty bullet proof and don't have the worry that I won't get through a full pack without something failing - highly recommended. Just wish the MLST2 had metal diffs.

Mature = monied from the spec of you 8ight

Jesus Danny, I thought you were a student ! Keep us informed of your race progress.

Oh, one other thing, do you have any play in your front end now Danny ?

Danny, I thought you said you'd spent some money on this ? Looks great !! So I guess the aluminium from Thailand turned up ok? Can't wait to see the new shell. Heres mine neil as promised. Shell will arrive this week I think, I post another pic then. Spec is as follows; > Novak mongoose 10.5t combo > Savox sh-1250mg servo with kimsbrough saver > CF Shock towers and chassis brace (with alloy rear section) > Custom CF battery strap > Alloy front hinge pin holders > Alloy hubs, spindles carriers and wheel hexes > White RPM ball cups > stainless steel screw set > HPI worx emotion wheel with schumacher white rally block tyres > Green anodized lock nuts all round > Phat bodies rear wing > Soft anti roll bar front and rear > Carisma GT14B shocks with soft progressive shock springs Car handles like its on rails on slippy floor. For carpet, medium springs make it hook up nice, too much grip with soft springs. (maybe stiffer anti roll bar may also help. Any questions, feel free to ask, Danny

Looks like Losi have answered the call and are releasing CV drive shafts, TiNi shock shafts, lightweight racing out drives and hard anodized shock bodies You read it here first ! Late April and June release dates. http://www.losi.com/Search/Default.aspx?IsNew=True&SortBy=LatestRelease

Second product from DP for the M8 coming soon. Really love their front shock tower. http://www.thetoyz.com/Driven-Productions/Driven-Productions/Gears-Covers/Driven-Productions/15297/ The first people to give us a spur/pinion cover - just a pity the delrin upper chassis brace is so dull looking.

Cheers ! Parts numbers are Ofna tops are indeed #37100 and you need two to do all four and its the longer of the two and the Traxxas ends are #5349. You get six in a pack and you use the original Losi balls top and bottom - the Traxxas balls are huge. Lucky I got them as i landed a 10 foot jump on the left rear and broke the stock shock bottom. All fixed now.

Here's mine. Rims, tyres and lipo's thanks to Danny aka mainamigo. Shell was by Jon Miller of www.rcgraphicworx.com. DP front shock mount. Spring covers and rear axle guards (home made). CF and clear chassis guards from Andy www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95831 Very nice product with holes that line up a treat. HS-225MG ready to instal along with the Traxxas/Ofna shock mod. Hope you like.
