My ofna ultra lx1e

Thanks :)

Got some racing tires for it..well kind of (Supra sales caliber knock offs), and some diff tuning, and MAN, is it dialed. For the first time I could drive it easily around the track. Was easily keeping up with a bud's rc8be on same number of cells. Was really surprised..Just one thing, is it just me, or is their a problem in the motor mount? As after a couple hours ar the track, everytime i go to the track, the motor moves and i have to readjust it (I make sure the two scews holding the motor are tight).

it happened to me all the time until i used ZAP Z-71 RED THREAD LOCKER on the motor screws.

i tried 5 different brands of various strength and this is the only thing that would keep the motor secure. it says it's permanent threadlocker, but if you use a hairdryer with heat or a heat gun you can loosen it again after directing it at the motor for just a few seconds.

it drove me NUTS until i found that stuff.

Ah..thanks! I will try that :P

Other then that..I really love this..sooooo surprised how well it could do at the track..

most of these 1/8 buggies are so over-engineered that once you become a decent driver you can win with any platform you drive as long as you can set it up.

the owner of my track drives a 10 year old mugen and still runs circles around the latest and greatest buggies.

glad to hear from you Arvint, you ought to check in more.

Yeah..I should...lately got busy again with my two 2wd slash's..Emaxx has been getting some love too :P Ofna hasnt really broken yet..and I dont see it needing anything..so yeah :P Either way..90% of my income is on the slash, the rest is split with the maxx and the ofna :P

Oh yeah..and a new savage X..been fun..my first nitro and all...so its fun :P

Man..these motor mount screws are annoying! Red thread locked the bottom motor screw and the top one came loose..so this time they are both red-ed..hopefully thats that. And the body mounts keept coming loose..but some longer screws now seem to have a tighter hold :D

Time to get a new body....

REALLY happy with this setup I have...Some people at the track out with there VE8's and eco's where surprised that it was a lx1e as I was right on them and passing in cases (If only my driving was better.. :P)

Wierdly..durability seems to be the problem for me now and track ability is great!
