Sup adam,

Been in the sport for about 7 years .Had the losi GTX ,and got hooked! Ive Raced a little at Revalations & Thundery alley. I recently bought a 2.0 buggy and was wondering if you could let me know what normal race prep for you consists of ? Once i find a good set up on a track how often should i be changing oil in the diffs? Also what do you check before every race? Anyways thx, Losi Rocks!

I usually do my shocks (oil and o-rings) every 2-3 weeks. Diffs (oil, o-rings, and gasket) every 4-6 weeks. It's also important to check all the driveshafts for wear. They are important to the handling of the buggy. Clutch / bearings I check after each day of running. Hope this helps.
