i tried yellow wheels once, then washed myself with bleach and wire wool, and went back to white ones.

yellow wheels + supporting Everton = MASSIVE BENDER

I'm a massive supporter of the Losi slipper, the main problem (for me) is that the B4 spring goes from fully tight to slack in a very small window where as the Losi window is several turns using the hydra spring.

I look forward to using the new spurs but I'll be sticking with the Losi spring.

I would've thought that the losi unit's main advantage was that it 'spread the load' from the spring to the pads better (as the spring/plastic bits are bigger), therefore making it more consistent.

Losi slipper all the way, with, if i remember rightly, some XXX-NT bits (I think Darren from DMS knows what parts i mean)

We have the Losi plates in stock, Chris, because they are X - 5 parts. Also the 3124 spring & retainer kit. Not sure if they are on the store, but E-mail me and we'll get 'em for you.

Sorry Chazz, I should have been more specific. I meant the machined DMS spurs.

Hi Guys, the whole batch of "Stealth" X6/X60 (and B4/T4) fitting spur gears, from 70 tooth to 80 tooh are in production as we speak, should be with us and online in the next 7 - 10 days hopefully, we also have coming the "PRO" range of machined "AE pad" spurs for the X5 coming in 106/108 and 110 teeth too at the same time.

Chazz, I will personnaly ensure that you recieve the very first 70 tooth off of the production line.......

Now then bitches
I would of beat both of your times if i hadnt grip rolled once at the end of the striaght on new bloody tires so pipe up

Sunday will be close looking forward to it!!

Matt, maybe the problems with the 2.4 the week after were actually the fact you still had your velcro glovs on? Did you take them off for the final ?? Well done

Yes..... they have all arrived into stock this week and have just finished being packaged up. A press release is going out to all of our dealers and many R/C News sites in the coming day or so (including to Jimmy from this very own wonderful site ) and they should start to appear on the internet and dealers stores over the next week now....

I run an X-60 with the Associated pads and the Losi spring/plastic setup. What is a good starting adjustment point for this set up?

Thanks for the help

Stick with the AE, if you use the GT2 spring it eliminates the b4 window springs problems.
