Say ,isn't all shipping locked down because of the virus?......................

 

[DougStar]

Nah freight is still moving ?? ? lucky though.....the only catch may be our state has border control so if you come from interstate you have to self isolate for 14days?. That could add extra time on......hope not?

Do the Hostiles last significantly longer? I seem to destroy atleast 1 losi one every run. It never fails a rock jams in there and shreds it.

 

[DougStar]

Only the hubs have boots on the losi 5b and never ripped mine?? on the hpi iv got flm extended dogbones. Iv had issues with the pins moving/slipping and I rekon that's what has been tearing my boots? the pins have a notch cut for the grub screw. They notch is not centered right on some pins. I had a spare set of pins and I picked the best, notched just right?? so hope this will not happen again ??
Can see at the end of this vid what happens when it chucks a pin?

I don't think hostel makes boots for losi mate. Although if they do you show me the link and I'll be #2 in line for them

 

[DougStar]

Think its only the phatdad that makes booted out drives for losi?
These are TLR??

Are the flm arms worth it?

 

[DougStar]

I'd say yes???? iv bought X2 sets now?
If you do buy them the irp turnbuckles are really worth the extra outlay ?? iv always bought them on DOTD sale makes it a little more bearable ??
