From what I read the springs are hard to come by.
Part of it is how customer service took 4 hours to call back - two days in a row - then said "we will have the radio for 5-8 days"
its 8 weeks old - send me a new one - you want me to be a customer for a while? take care of me.
This may be rantish, but having worked in customer service for years when something that new breaks, you take care of the customer.
The radio works very well for my needs, but I don't want to go all in on something I am having doubts about now - between my two receivers and the radio I could probably get close to $160 - and an MT4 is 220.... only reason why those gears started turning.

I did this on a novak system once with amain. Called novak and they said my problem was a "known issue" and to send it in to get replaced with a 2 week turn around, called amain and they let me send it back for store credit.

Looking for servo suggestions in the B5 rear motor. I know its got to have a decent length cord to go all the way to the back what everyone using and like?

Where did you buy it? May still be new enough to get the retailer to exchange instead.

Savox 1257 (I think) here - works great - don't have much to compare it to besides a stock slash 4x4 servo I had once - its a loud servo but works fine

I run a XP DS1015 in mine and the servo lead is the perfect length - just long enough to fit into the receiver without any extra wire.

hey bud. You need around a 22cm lead. For sorvos with short leads, I replace the servo lead with the right size. I like the TQ servo leads for the blacked out look. I have a Hitec 8360TH and it is plenty long and it offers the black/silver look that I like. My Protek 130ss is about 2cm short. I can be done, but its tight.

Just don't get a short profile servo, the wires coming out of the case end up being in the way of the servo mount. I had to swap servo's from my 2wd SC.

You can get them to "work", but short servos are a pain. The cases are always shaped funny and the links like to hit. Plus, you really really really dont want to take weight out of the front of this car. The car is super light with a lot of rear bite. So taking weight out of the front = wheelies. you want to take weight out of the rear. light weight tranny parts and stuff. If you go pucks, you will be boarder line legal weight. I am 1525 with a full servo and 14 grams under the alum rack. And I dont even have pucks, that would be another 25-30 less grams

You think a LHS is gonna let you return a used esc...
more than likely they will tell you that the sand is out back, go pound some.

The springs are easy to get and replace, have them hanging on the wall here.
Scott Brown & some our fastest use the same radio as yours.

I'm curious as to how your shop has springs on the wall though George, Horizon is TERRIBLE when it comes to getting radio parts. Sadly
