I just finally got some hot laps around the living room with the car in full race trim, and the slipper seems to slip a LOT, even when cranked on. Diff and slipper setup on 4-wheelers are new to me (I hate slippers to begin with, that's what your left index finger is for), so I'm not positive on the best setup. It seems to have a lot of growl to it. I have also noticed that the flares on the rear sidepods of the body seem to be REALLY close to the rear inner tires. Is this something that anyone else has seen? I'm thinking that maybe some of the car's growl is a bit of plastic vibrating, too. Not sure. I think I need to sit down with the manual some more and a few hand tools to figure out the base setup, unless anyone else has some suggestions.

The 10x2 Checkpoint is flippin' fast, though.

Also, does anyone know if Losi made lightweight versions of the summer body? I have two, and the one I cut for the car is VERY thin, like a 12th scale lightweight. The wing is comical, it's so thin.
