Hi all

How many limiters should I use on the rear shocks to keep the driveshafts in?

Its only until I get my Losi driveshaft parts which are on order.

Thanks

X6?

Due to manufacturing tolerances you just need to limit it until the driveshaft is safe inside the diff outdrives, I think it might be 3 or 4 washers usually.

That's assuming the diff outdrives are in good nick and not chipped. I saw someone recently which were badly chipped and would have needed far more limiting which would severely effect handling over the bumps.

The Losi BK2 cvd axle or redrilling the std one really is the way to go on these as you can run mega droop then!
