Thanks for any help given!!
Stock set up had my rear end loose so I put 1.1 mm rear sway and laid the rear shocks 1 hole and stood up the front shocks one hole. The handling was better but the springs were too hard for me so I put tamiya white med in front and soft in the rear. The car is fast.

Are the ball studs in the S1 kit *that* brittle that I should consider replacing them already, before I even get a chance to run it?
I didn't break mine but had trouble with the ball stud on the same part on my r1.
