Default Man, you guys are dead serious

You guys are dead serious with the 5 cells....I didnt even notice the chassis until it was mentioned a few posts ago. Anyone have a vid of a mod motor race with 5 cells? I have got to see what it do.

I am doing a rebuild on my car and noticed that my front steering knuckles do not move freely when they are disconnected from the steering block. I think that it may be due to my universals because when I take out the steering knuckle assembly and spin the universal I am getting tension and drag on one of the sides. Is this a sign that they are bent? Luckily I ordered the V2 HD universals and rebuild kit. Can I use the stock axle that I have with the V2 universals? Any help would be appreciated. My next test would be to remove the universals and put the steering knuckles back on the C-hubs and see if they rotate freely.


Also, anyone have pictures of their Cyclone with a GTB installed? I am trying to figure out which way to put the side with the wires. Do I want ti facing the center of the car or do I want it facing the motor or away from the car?

Heya Marcos.J,
Dont you get worried that with the switch on the side of the servo someone or something might hit it and accidentally turn the car off?
