I'd go with Knuckles and C-Hubs, though, ther are not easy to break, it's good to have them on standby just incase of a nuclear explosion or something...Arms too can be added. You can also get those Steering Posts where the servo savers are attached too...I've experienced bending them in a hard crash and made the saver bind. Bearings....After having my R2 for a month, I've I have already changed 2 bearings on the front right knuckle. Shock Shafts, can be added too as spares. Btw, correct me if I'm wrong guys, but is it true that most of the R1 and R2 parts can be used for both cars? If this is true, PaulC, you won't hve problems with your spare coz I'll be having alot of spares in the shop soon for the CUDA.

I saw your post in our local thread, when are your running it? Let's try it out in Fiesta

Default Just notice

I'm not sure if the Alex Racing makes a graphite servo saver, but I've notice today that the yokomo SD graphite servo saver looks and measures exactly so I think I'm going experiment and change that.

FBjoe: when do you think they'ld arrive? I know the suspension parts would fit, so I guess I'll just cancel my order. For sure I'll be running it before the 23rd at fiesta, need to "learn" the kit first. I'll try the 9th or the 16th for a practice run. Wanna join? I guess the rest of the bakal boys would go as well.

BTW, what class you running on?

23T Sportsman Class and you can set Anti squat by using adjusting shims under the rear sus a-arm balls..they come in different thicknesses from .5mm~1.5mm

They will definitely be here before the big race in Fiesta. I know it's taking a long time. I can't do anything about it, some guys are getting restless already but you know, it's definitely worth the wait.

Make sure all your motor caps are in good condition, they cost pennies to change. Mount you reciever in various ways, such as crystal as far away from the motor as possible, on it's side, double servo tape, on the servo, on the top deck. Change wiring routes, all the usual stuff.
I had a lot of problems due to my radio being badly tuned, you may want to try and find someone with the equipment to check your radio. I've not had mine done long but no glitches so far and I mount my reciever on the bottom chassis, between the servo and the ESC.

Get some gears as well, never know when a small rock could ruin your day.

We have the graphite servo saver in the kit? I was thinking of upgrading to the Yokomo one as well, but if that's what's stock, then cool

I have heard of some Ko radios bieng out of tune from the factory. If nothing else works, you should send in your transmitter and reciever and have them tune your system up.
