Quit making me want stuff I can't have!

Haha.. Sry no can do.. Your just goin to have to get one.. All the cool people are doin it..

Yep I did. I replaced the rear dog ones with another set of fronts (96mm) . No more problems. How did you get the warranty parts so quickly? I'm still waiting for those.

Came in the kit.. I didn't notice it till after I had it 90% built tho.. For now I just thru some plast washers in the diff cups to act like spacers and limit the free play.. Works decent for now.. I'll get a set of longer fronts for it later..

made a couple changes.. wow it handles way better now.. switched from 30f 35r shock oil to 35f and 30r.. and stood the front shocks up.. jumps waay better and turns alot better now.. and with the timing and boost back in the esc, i can consistently make all the doubles now..

took my go pro today.. but it wasnt co operating.. found out that a friend of mine that borrowed it changed a setting for the video so all i got were 15 sec clips.. ill get some race footage this weekend..

That looks like a really fun track. I really liked the look of your buggy when I saw it. It is one of the better looking scale ones. How has it held up?

[jarrodH]

It's held up pretty good.. I haven't really beat on it to much yet.. Just the odd jumping crash..only thing I've broke is I broke the shoulder off one of the steering rack bearings.. But easy fix by adding a washer under the head of the screw..

But one thing I noticed is you have to keep your eye on the hinge pins for the knuckles. They use a set screw in the arm to lock in the pin but at the end of each day they have started to walk out..

If you plan on gettin the kit.. Don't bother with the kit shocks, get a set of the proline powerstrokes, and upgrade the tie rod and camberlinks to something stronger.. After 1 race day it's pounded the rod ends out and the camber links are pretty sloppy now..

It's an awesome buggy and until last Tuesday I hadn't broken anything, and that's after beating on it for the entire winter running it indoors with the COR club here in town. The shocks are definitely a necessity like JRod said...

I did have a catastrophic cartwheel last tuesday that broke part of the cage holding the wing on the back. I'm gonna reinforce the replacement piece and all should be better than before. Highly recommend this buggy!
