If you putting some high power and launching down the street then out of the box will be fine, just remember to look after the car because high speed wears thing down fast, some lithium grease on those dog bones will help out a whole lot or you going to getting some replacement parts soon. But this car as you have already spun the tires of the ground spins pretty free and after a couple of runs will feel great, you love disengaging the pinion just to feel the free spin, I know I do but I can easily do that with my nitro buggy.
Thanks R2!
I was just concerned as out of the box it looked to have what looked like ~10 degrees of toe out, and the shock preload (or lack of) allowed the chassis plate to sit very near to the ground. Looks like it's time to get a Set-up Station.
You are so right on the near frictionless rolling drive train. I was amazed at how smoothly and effortlessly it rolled and spun up. I will be sure to lithium lube the dog bone joints as you recommend.
I do have a few sets of new Sweep 45D and will certainly try them out. The Kit Ofna wheels don't seem to be belted either so I will tape them and glue them up just to try.
I will be sure to maintain the car as I do all my other RC's toys... Most of them, for some reason or another have insane over spec power plants from my cars to airplanes
I received a few more parts for my builds today.... For the X3 the Tekin RX8 /2650kv power system
In case nobody seen these before
