Yea, the stock setup of the XXX-S should be perfectly legal. Just set the ride height at 5mm and you're all the set.

I was running mine with basically the stock setup yesterday, Sorex 24 tires like Matt said, and it was perfectly fine. You should have good results with it...

I am (still) a senior at UW-Madison. Have been for a few years now. heh

Maybe if I spent less time creating R/C websites, I'd be closer to graduating...

I think Dockter's has some suspension arms in stock. Not sure if they are front or rear though. If you order them ASAP they should have them within a few days...

Never heard of Dockter's, huh. Which part of Madison are you in? East side area, I'd guess?

Yea, never drive without the body on, you'll break stuff. Flip the car and you're screwed. Even better, try to drive in a more open area where there's less stuff to hit.
