Default And they say losi's are weak!

Tonight while racing i was blasting around in 2nd place the car was dialled and whoa i love lipo!!! When a dad of one of the new members runs out into the middle of the track and stands right on top of my cr i instantly thought of no get the allen drivers out new chassis, shock towers, everything tried the trottle no drive it looked in one piece thought it cant be i got the car and there was nothing wrong with it no broken parts no bent turnbuckles no bent shock shafts the only thing wrong was the screw that holds the wheel on was bent other than that it was fine. but he did knock one of the terminels out of line inside of my trakpower which i managed to get back into line and was fine afterwards other than that it was snap a wire off in a corrally and bent a reciever plug but the car was totally undamaged except for the bodyshell which is mangled and it was so pretty :'( But the car was totally dialled with lipo in and i dont want to blow my own trumpet but i was driving like neil cragg! Ran it in the second race and won

So knowone si aloud to say losi's are weak.

You confuse me, you have B4 in your name, looks to be a S2 in your avatar, and yet you drive a CR!

Can you give me some advices what to change? I have some ideas but still not sure if it's all. We have no bluegroove or astroturf here - only tracks for 1:8 nitro (one part with grass one with slippy dirt) and one only electro buggies track (slippy one).

Here in the UK we mainly run on grass and astro so if you can tell us what your car is doing or not doing we can help as very few people run dirt here in the uk.

my car has understeer so I have ordered - 25 Deg Spindless & Carriers - seen somewhere that it should help. So far I was using front 4wd Proline Flat Stubies modded for 2wd (came with my second hand car) instead of ribbed tires - little help to get steering.

The XXXTCR is very good at my track also.
I like it because it has aluminum axel holders on the rear.
I do support Losi because I like the pink taper pins.
I have a set for my B44 and 501x and even for my 4wd truck too.
I'm still wondering If they make 'em in monster truck size also for my
kyosho.

You support Losi because you like their Pink taper pins? Wow You either love the color pink or it just doesn't take much for you to support an R/C company because of a simple part manufactured by them. Good luck to you and your mental status for future times. Just remember that God loves you.
