Awesome! Please do a build review and driving review when you receive it.

I'd love to have one because they look awesome, but I'm a buggy newbie so I crash a lot and I think the clay track would destroy it.

I picked up the new servo from xpert. It looks great and comes with a nice short lead for the b5m. But the steering link hits the case.

How long does it usually take to install the MM conversion? Thought about picking one up to try for indoor season. Never ran anything MM so I am sure it would be a learning curve for me.

put an oring on the steering arm under the steering link. keeps it angled and gives extra clearance around the servo.

nice. I saw it up close last weekend. I looks pretty good. The guy that designed it was talking about it. It will shave a stupid amount of weight off the car. And allows for flex tuning.

I may be crazy but my car drives so well and when i go to a new track it requires very little tuning to get it handling very well for me. I think a carbon chassis wouldnt have much of an advantage if any over the aluminum one. like I said I may be wrong but a carbon chassis would almost have too much flex, and cause a little high speed instability. I feel like thats what it would do so I am anxious to see what some of these guys have to say. I hope its money and makes the car even better!!
