I never thought it was a major problem as the gearbox was held pretty securely with the rear shock tower screw and the brass brace on the motorplate. Anyway what do i know.

Dan, the balljoints are Lunsford super duty (or it could be heavy duty) ones that came with the larger Ti turnbuckles. If you need any help with the car just PM me.
Brill! Thanks for that Rob, I think i'd like the gearbox to be a little more secure, so will add the screws... I noticed that the Ti turnbuckles were different to standard Losi CR ones & guessed the Losi turnbuckles would be too long aswell?

Anyway, its a nice car in sweet condition... i'm looking forward to hitting that bumpy stuff with it!

Quick Q Rob, what sort of gearing would you run on it for a 6.5BL? & Nick whats the internal ratio for the gearbox once the extra gear is added.... am I correct in thinking its still std XXX - just rotating the other way??
