    So I figured something out finally.

    I was super disappointed with the travel after building my SCX10.2 Kit. So I took the shocks apart tonight and rebuilt them but this time only filling them 75%. The difference is night and day. I also repositioned the rear shocks down lower by screwing them into the body posts. I haven't ran it yet, but the travel seems to be great.DB0D1F99-70D6-463C-8F4F-4AA009235B92.jpg

    I usually back the preload tensioner off until there's slack in the spring. Then tighten up just enough to stay put.

    My Losi Mini 8ight-T seriously breaks every time I drive it. I'm pretty annoyed. I don't even wreck it at the track and it still breaks. Even my big 8ight-t 3.0 has been giving me problems. My Typhon buggy has been great though. You guys ever get to the point with a vehicle that you don't know if you should just go over it and start replacing/upgrading a ton of stuff to make it bulletproof or just cut your losses and sell? That is about where I am at with both of those truggies.

    I've had good luck with my Wraiths. But I don't beat them as hard as I should.
