Not sure if it was this video, but one of the videos you lamented that the shocks did not have bleeder caps. I added bleeder screws to mine. I've got some precision drill bits and a pin vise for tuning shock piston holes, and I used the 1.1mm one to drill the initial hole, then stepped up to 1.6mm which is the hole size you need for an m2x4 dome head screw. All it took was a being a little careful so I drilled into the center~ish of the cap, and not the o-ring.
I’d love to do that but then it would violate our box stock rules. Now if we at our track all did it and agreed that would be different. Good thinking though. Nearly free and easy to do so why not?
@@Dorkyand40 That's totally fair. To my mind, I saw it meet the intent of the rule, as opposed to the letter. It's not going to make my car faster, it's just going to make working on it easier. FWIW I have purchased a new set just in case someone wants to take issue with them for the box stock race I'm planning on going to. It's all down to how whomever is doing the enforcing at the time chooses to apply the rule.
Video content makes sense especially if you’re trying to tune shocks any binding issues would interfere with the shock tuning process. Yes the stock shocks are a bugger!
Mine were terrible. All of them. I ended up bearing oiling them and spinning them with a drill and a lot of pressure till they wanted to move freely. I am in the belief that the amp load from the servo is doing damage to the reveivers the more I think about it. That is likely why you got 2 good new units, your original is damaged. My car will run the first time tomorrow. After checking out some cars at the track I had a list of things in my head that needed looked at and addressed. My car is 100% un stuck. I did nothing else.
You mentioned during the actual race video that people may be reluctant to join the class because it’s all stock. I disagree I think there has already been an increase in people buying these and it has created close racing so far. Even Ron’s car has its days where it’s fast and other times where it isn’t. A lot depends on the driver. For me the uncertainty of the track and the focus of this class being for completely new people has kept me out of it. Leaving it 100% box stock is important to reduce initial cost. At the end of the day it still drives better than a tt02 and is way cheaper as well.

@@scottbrodie3071 they suck so bad
They are awful for trying to turn amazing lap times. It can be done but man it’s not easy lol
Yes lol
Mine doesn’t bind but it does wobble! I can’t figure it out!
just run it and see how it works out
What are you using to sand?
some sanding sponge sticks mostly and some files but id start with the sponges
What oils are you running for oval
60-60 seems to work. I’m trying 80-40 tonight. Front/rear
I like the plastic cups on the diffs it has less friction than the metal ones 😮😎😎
They are fine for carpet racing. My granite grom ones didn’t hold up very well :(
@@Dorkyand40 well I don't jump my cars and trucks that breaks them
I'm waiting for the adjustable turnbuckles and camber links that will be a game changer and more narrow tires 😮😎👍
That would be cool! If we run a mod class then I’m in !
@@Dorkyand40 there shouldn't be any rule against that if they rule against it I would leave and they could kiss my ass
Nothing about sticky front arm balls? Mine are terribly sticky.
I found them in one video. Maybe the one where I got a second car.

I keep a set of needle files for moving material😮👍
Great tip! Me too. Got a few in the pit box at all times
You can’t put diff fluid in the stock diff..
you can but theres no gaskets and a split diff so grease would be better. the fluid leaks out but is way easier to tune with
@@Dorkyand40 lol
12min into the video, I noticed your color matched neck warmer. haaaa
She comes and goes :)
I bought 3 of the first batch yesterday. They seem to be ruining true
Nice

im fine all stock. some people want to use radio and some want more speed. differen t strokes different folks
oil the joints
that too!!
NASCAR is a name of an organization not a name of a car. It’s a NASCAR RC race car.
Interesting take away.
But this car is officially licensed from Nascar so calling it a losi nascar is perfectly fine.
