Best version of 2008 IFMAR Electric 1/10 Touring 3rd Round from Bangkok, Thailand

This gotta be one of the best RC car race ever been filmed

We all saw this race on a hand held camera armature version but this one is professionally filmed with multi-cameras and you gotta love that british announcer!

Aluminium hex issue on JRXS type-R, XXX-S


Losi xxx-s team Losi RC car R/C cars JRXs Type-R HPI Team Associated touring car rc racing sorex takeoff forward tires rc tires airtronics TAMIYA futaba serrated nuts RC ball bearing



I had a wheel binding on my car few times and find out wheel axle pin got caved in to the wheel hex so deep, the wheel hex was pressing hard againt "Inner race" of My balls!







I guess this could happend to any car that use a HEX adaptor to mount a wheel

I asked this to my extended brotherhood of RCtech.net and found out "using a Serrated nut and tight em in right torque" can prevent this problem.

I remember at 360raceway I had to keep tighten a rear right wheel all the time and I have to admit I did over tight that few time.




The M4 Serrated Nuts are available from HPI (# 87270, 87269, 87267) Tamiya (42143)
