Well, I feel like it's coming along well. I got the all the insides switched out.

How nice of Losi to include a gap tool Measures right at .38mm

Well, I was messing around with the MOD killswitch and couldn't get it to turn off if the radio was disconnected. I forgot about the spektrum AVC receivers not being compatible. Good thing I have a Futaba T4PM as well. Looks like I'm ordering another 304sb receiver. I threw the Taylor front/rear braces and top plate while I was at it.

Those 30N body panels look sweet! Got some goodies from Taylor Rc today: front/rear braces and top plate. I got the new Futaba receiver all set up. Should be ready to rip soon!

Something went wrong! I finally got it to the wide open field at the local park to tune it. Got a few runs in, went to rev it, and not much happened. I heard something slipping and the truck barely moved. Time to take it apart and see what I screwed up! Hopefully something simple!

Edit: I guess I should have cleaned the engine mounting bolts with brake cleaner before I put the threadlock on... 3 out of 4 vibrated out. That is crazy!
