O now im confused but Losi are defnetly not the same sixe as AE ones. SO maybe losi are 5/32 and AE are smaller im not very good with this imperial buisness.

I think that does 3 4 and 5 so suffices but not perfect on the 5/32.

pred is 3mm and 4mm. if you are doing a wrench the pred one will need to be thin for the wishbone tops and damn strong as well. standard thin alloy snaps

Hey Nathan..

What gap is there for the top arms then - how much space have we rh play with and is it the 3mm or 4mm which is needing to be thinner?
