Holy cow, does it ever! I am going to make some lexan covers that will act as dust shields for the front and rear. The problem is that I shouldn't have to do this. That's what the "engineers" at Losi should have done a long time ago. There was an o-ring that went around the front bearings that was supposed to seal the front diff. They don't include that with the kit anymore. I asked Losi about it: they said thier team doesn't think it's necessary. Well, I'd rather be hangin' with my friends in the pits than frantically trying to clean it so it isn't gritty kitty.
How did Associated manage to get their B4's steering linkage to be as smooth as it is minus bearings? Compare to xx-4. POOP. XX-4 is awesome right after you've just spent 15 minutes cleaning it. Not awesome after your day of racing.
Looks like we found a hot topic. For a little while I thought this place was deserted!
