Adam, I tried Mike Truhe's 2007 Nitro Challenge set-up w/ the TFT chassis, drilled 54 pistons in front, and bow-fighters. It is an amazing difference in how the buggy handles now. Other than how you build shocks, do you have any other tips for the 8ight competition kit. All your replies on this forum have been very helpful to me, even though I don't run the 2.0
