swapped 1.0 radio tray for a 2.0 radio tray
both shock towers to the ones from a race roller model
swapped motor mounts to 2.0 mounts to use a starter box
servos switched to Hitec 7955TG
rear outer hinge pin, modded to 2.0 style with threads on both ends
all around, front and read hinge pin braces from a race roller model
aluminum shock caps

and the motor, well im fixing to buy a Nova motor, so that dont really count.

Reason I ask this is because im wanting to know if I should be good to go like it is, and maybe just buy a couple more small upgrades. Or swap completely to a 2.0 race roller and use my electronics, servos, and motor. Money is definitely a factor here, seeing as the race roller models are around $600!!!

One thing I do notice on the 2.0 buggys is that they have a better chassis, and have the etched motor mount lines. What all would I need to do to swap to a 2.0 chassis??

NOTE: Unless they've corrected this issue... the 8ight 1.0 servo saver is more durable than the 2.0.

Also, can you give me the terminology of the weight? like 2000 will make it do this, or 5000 will make it what? I got the shock fluid down, but I need to understand diff fluid.

Also, do you ever need to just change the fluid once and a while? Or only when you switch wt?

I have your exactly same servo and I have also no preload ...... so I assume I am right ? I have also to say that I am using a hard duty servo spring anyway.
