Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. So the stock chassis is all that's needed indoors I take it. Any other upgrades that are truly needed or "nice" to have for this buggy? Allready has the alum. Serpent shock caps, but pretty much box stock other than that to my knowledge.
Also- I like to run servo savers but I don't like the stock one it wanders too much-doesn't always return to center. I'm going to use the large xray servo saver. It works very well in my 2w buggy with zero slop.
Also take a close look at the rear inner ball studs at full stuff. They can hit the mounting plate. To fix this you can add 2mm spacers to the mounting plate to raise it up and also 2mm to the ball studs to get back the stock geometry.

Get the exotek steering plate. It takes away most of the slip in the front end.

As for the rear ball studs, does anyone notice a ill effect of them hitting on full compression? I could imagine it could toss the car around on off kilter landings, or really bumpy parts of the track. I think i might fix this issue first and see how it does at the track this weekend.

I've got to get the Exotek steering rack as well, the front end of my car has developed a good amount of slop. As for the servo saver i ended up using the stock one and cranking the nut down, but i might as well just use a regular servo arm.

I added another washer under each side and it seems to be much better. I won't bother raising the plate just yet. Thanks!

The lowest I see one sell for determines what I think they are worth . I have seen a few $225-$265 rollers come and go so they are out there if you aren't in a hurry . If you want one because you want a d413 go ahead and get a new one , but if you want a good deal on a used one it will take a while.

You can use that one xtra stiff, or the next one down stiff in terms of servo saver give.

Building the kit from new was a very enjoyable experience for me. If you are someone that enjoys building kits, I would recommend buying the buggy as a kit. If you don't care about building, then I'm sure you'll find a reasonable deal on a used roller in the next few months.
