Anyone run it with the side pods cut down? I normally use only 1 screw in the front and sometimes no stiffening screws at all. Also have no use for the receiver tray. When I get my stock buggy I am going to try to run the diggity cf holders and run a lengthwise velcro to secure the battery. Also maybe run without the spur cover and eliminate slipper thats around 10 grams I think.

Howabout running with no side pods?
What effect do you get when running without the shim under the motor guard?

If you want to go the cheaper route with the Kyosho top shaft use
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXZUC5&P=7 this should fit it but no guarantees until I get it in my hands. I ordered it as a spare.
or

For running without side guards, you do need to replace the part where the front tower plate mount sits on the guards. It has some conical thing to grab onto it. Might have to fashion something up or get it in aluminum. Its a reverse conical washer (the closest description). To replace the guards we can use thin carbon fiber or cut up lexan in that shape for sealing (like the tekno air guards). For the rears can mount the body posts with some washers I think.

I would mill the side pods down before removing them entirely. Also the side pods help dampen the flex of the chassis. Without them, the car may feel inconsistent.

I'm not really going to. 
just seeing if anybody has. I'm running no screws in the side pods and I am very happy.
How many shims are you guys using under the motor guard? I always ran just the .5 shown in the manual. But now I am running no shim at all. And I haven't noticed a difference. What are the effects? What am I missing?

I am back to rear and going to race it tonight. This will be a really good test for me to see how I like the 2 configurations. The time to beat is 17.9 for me, but I am really lookin to see which config suites my driving style best.
I think I am just as fast with both really

Assume anti squat same between rear and mid.
If I'm right .5 shim = 1 degree, so if wanted 3 degrees, that's be .5 upfront and none on rear for mid.

I too was told the alum hub was going through new spec changes. You can't order the current one through Japan anymore.

I have used Tekin RS & RS Pro, Viper VTX10, Orion R10 Pro and now the Reventon Pro in recent years. The Orion R10 Pro and Reventon Pro are very close in performance and both can be made very smooth on the throttle, but I think the MOD2 software on the Reventon has a bit better brake feel, IMO. The other two listed I won't consider again for Off-road 2wd buggy.
