GREAT THANKS🤙🤙🤙. IS THERE AN UPGRADE FOR THE OUTER KNUCKLE PIN. STOCK PIN IS TOO SHORT FOR RPM ARMS

What’s the status of your s10!?

[@misterts7635]

Man it’s been on the back burner for almost 2 years now, just too many other projects and stuff with my kids. I just picked up an LS6 for it though, so I should be getting back to working on it in the next few weeks.

Doesn't it have a steel insert on the inside of the plastic cover?

[@misterts7635]

It does, but it’s just a flat steel plate with holes all the way through. It doesn’t prevent the pins from getting pushed straight through the plastic part behind it. I haven’t had an issue with mine, but my kid has broken that part twice when he cartwheels it. I guess now we’ll find the next weakest link!

@@misterts7635 Interesting, my TT Pro is slightly different. The metal plate has indentations that hold the pins but don't go all the way through. Which is what blew my mind thinking you guys broke through the metal plate under the plastic. Must be part changes by Losi

@@rlgonzalez04 mine are both a few years years old and are the original version. Take a look at LOS234023- that’s what I’m working with. Is yours a V2? I wonder if they got an updated design.

@@misterts7635 Not sure they made a V2 of the TT Pro rtr truck. I just redid the diffs and yeah mine are different. My manual also calls for that part number but the outer holes on my steel plates aren't drilled all the way. Just like a dimple and the pin sits in there. I believe the TT Pro truck was out way before the DB Pro, they probably changed something in between.

@@rlgonzalez04 one of my DB’s started as a TT, so I’ll have to check that one to see which type it has. You’ve got me curious now! They did a V2 of the DB with some minor updates, so I assumed the TT got the same updates. Unfortunately I’ve heard it makes getting the correct bulkheads a pain, as some vendors are still selling the older style with the smaller bearings and some have the newer style.
