*A little dab on EACH end of your front / rear dogbones is nice too...
...RE: Washers / spacers...I have to disagree with Ronny on this one...I have been testing these washers, or ones LIKE them, too...Alloy with flat bottoms, coned bottoms, 'stepped' bottoms like stock and eventually they ALL come out...its not the washer thats the trouble...Its the screw and the plastic...Not enough screw goes INTO the plastic to hold it AND the plastic is too soft anyway...I am now working on BIG short screw...A FAT alloy one with a NASTY self-tapping (makes its own hole) thread on it...The LHS cant help me any more and I am now in the screw section of the hardware store :D
...Ronny BL stands for brushless, that confused me for ages too ;) Stock tires to Norway? No problem...
...Hey Ronny do me a favour and weigh yourself WITHOUT a battery pack and the body, chassis and wing only...You better than 655 grams? ;)
