Keep hearing that Tessman rumor a lot lately.

Aluminum steering posts and plate
Had the plastic for 6 months no issues with breakage or wear. Anyone actually notice a difference in performance of the aluminum
? It's expensive. What's the result?

So I'm running all kit '17 CE steering parts. I had the perfect amount of steering with front steering blocks down and rear shocks forward. However, in the main the track got a bit greasy and it was a bit too loose. So I'm going to put the rear shocks back and try the 0* inserts in the front C hubs. And play with adding or removing washers from the center steering rack

has anyone ever broke the plastic steering plate? I've broke the composite roll center holders and since have switched to alum. but im still not sure which steering rack parts to run.

Mine is coming together.. I need suggestions on a motor/esc. Not sure on what direction to go... was thinking HW. At first reedy, but my recent customer service experience has turned me away from their products.

I run the XR10 pro (coming from the Tekin RSX) and I love it so much. HW has my favorite ESCS. i also run the HW 2nd gen v10 motor and it is equally as good, the combo is extremely smooth, quiet, powerful, tuneable, and overall has excellent performance. I would def recommend the combo for mod. if running stock I would run the HW ESC and a good known stock motor like the reedy mach 3, or fantom motors, or trinity, or maclan, or schurrspeed, r1wurks, or motiv.

I'm building my shocks and notice the instructions show 2 and 3 hole pistons. I got 2 sizes of 2 hole pistons. Any of you guys get any different?

Thanks. Apparently, a revision not yet corrected in the book.
Car is all done now! Time for peripheral gear...
Servo will be here tomorrow. I'll motor/esc ship tonight. I have a new receiver sitting idle. Still haven't decided on mod or stock class motor.

i'd say if you run mod in your other classes and you're comfortable with that and you have experience with other 2wd mod cars - go mod. stock will just make your mod cars feel extremely fast and it can kind of mess with you.
if you don't have much experience and run stock with other classes or previously just run stock. 2wd buggy in mod is hard to control and stock can teach you how to drive well and it inspires confidence you can always move up to mod down the road.

Question regarding the carbon steering plate pieces. If I switch to the 1 or 0 slot plates do I need to adjust the turnbuckle lengths or do I leave them at the length the manual says? Wasn't sure how that will effect toe if I leave them at the same length as when I was running the 2 slot plates.

just use your eyes or a gauge to reset toe after install it's not a big deal you don't need a set length to go by.
