That ESC is sick!!! I am using LRP TC too, I hope I have money for Tekin
As for what stuff worth money to buy, I would say try what you have now, E4RS already has some goodies in it, unless you are a TOP racer I bet most people can't tell the difference between TM belt and K Factory belt

I did notice Rc Mushroom was pretty inexpensive. A bit cheaper than another place I shopped at. But shipping............ a bit expensive.
Thank you for your help. I'm sure I will have more questions later. For now, I got a grip of parts coming to help me get the cars handling, gearing under control. Now, it's just time to try, try, try!
Actually, I just thought of one, How do you know if your belt is tight enough? Rear belts seem pretty stiff but the side belt is a little flimsy/loose. I don't know that it skips, but was wondering if there was a rule of thumb on how to adjust them. LIke,1/4" of downward movement, or when you squeeze the belts together they allmost touch. I am referring to the side belt. But would like to know the proceedure on all belts! Thanks, Vinny

I don't think using the G4RS springs is a good idea...nitro car has different weight transfer compare to EP cars, and god knows these G4RS springs set has different preload compare to the E4RS one...why not using the E4 optional springs kit...?
Your other option if you must use the Nitro spring or any regular long springs...someone already mentioned, you must get the TC5 lower shock springs plate, then dremel the bottom part FLAT so it will sit lower. When the spring porch seats lower, it will balance off the extra lenght from the springs.
Both my RS and FS are usaing Tamiya Shocks with the TC5 spring plate and using regular Schumacher, TC3, Tamiya, Xray springs without any ride height problem.

The spring kit is for both nitro and electric (I asked Team Magic when I bought it), the very stiff ones (black and orange) may not be suitable for E4, other than that all springs are perfect for E4, and no too-long issue, the min ride height I can get is 4.5 mm using dark blue spring at front (the third stiffest in the kit?)

I personally run the TC springs that wolfhobbies sales and they have been fine. All you will need is the lowest set.

I noticed that there is another hole for the single arm steering pivot that is more forward. If I use the forward hole on the pivot, how would that change my steering?
Also, on the front suspension arm pin holder there are two settings, 1.5 and 2.5. What result will I get from putting this at 2.5?
