I,am a new castor team driver. Been a team Novak driver for two years. I will be at the Jconcepts race. I will be testing their newest motors. Lots of new stuff coming out by June. Let me know when you get the novak motor mount done. Will be running my home made losi till I can get the caster up and going. Hopefully before Christmas.

got to see the Fusion sport of Jason at Maxamps up close at our last race. I think with alittle weather and track specific tweeking it should hook up real well. Track surface and weather (sub 50) made it like glass to run on.

I love the car. Things to replace Tie rods ends. I found the Traxxas revo 3.3 rods sets to be the perfect replacement. Traxxas Part number 5341 Two rods (thicker than the stock fusions), Four ball ends that are thicker and don't have the hole where the Fusion ones break off at. Also if racing and you have the sport kit upgrade the Steering plate to the hardened one. My fusion still had the stock plate and it bent up like a noodle. Cooler temps don't run the stock wing. I landed a jump flat and the wing exploded right off the mount into little pieces. Replaced with a parma wing, almost rubber like. For steering I found you need to stay on the power and it will then pull through the corners. If you let off it will go wide. I can't wait until the next race it was a blast.

Thanks for the offer, but the battery tray (box) is what I need. When I ran the buggy on friday (it was kinda cold outside) I lawn darted a jump and the front of one of the battery trays broke apart along with one of the stock steering ball ends.

slakr get a bag of these: Traxxas number 5341 steering linkage rods for the revo 3.3. There $3.39 at tower hobbies. Ball ends are thicker and stronger and the rod is the same length and thicker. You won't break them. I broke stock rod ends on Saturday in a cooler indoor venue. These should do the trick.
